Abstract

en_US Here is a dust-jacketed copy of the fourth book in this series. It is one of four found together now in 2020. Before its thirty fables, this volume offers a table of cases cited and a one-line table of statutes. Each story has an enjoyable newspaper-like caricature. I read the first three. The first is about a judge who despises the younger generation and all their new ways. His ward of court asks him "to be a dear" and consent to her marrying Tommy the motorcar salesman. He is so firm that he gives her a generous allowance, buys one of Tommy's cars, and agrees to give her away "at the Hymeneal Altar." The second is about a cleaning woman who remembers signing a will as one of its witnesses. After her affidavit is taken, she is so taken with her writing and speaking that she embarks on a literary career. The third tells of a kindly judge who wants to interview a ward of the court before judging her case. He has the child in in his chambers, asks if she would like to try his wig on her closely cropped head, and chats with her. Only then does he read the affidavit, which tells that she has ringworm and has had to have her head shaved. There are twenty-three pages given to an index starting on 93. The covers are heavy boards with titles pasted on. The dust-jacket is in poor-to-fair condition with a good illustration of the first fable, described above: "Miss Snaffleton (Infant) and the Old-Fashioned Judge."
