THE ONLY GIRL

Mrs. Marjorie Crook, 27, had a perfectly good character until she stole a £3 13s. 6d. jumper suit from an Oxford Street, London, store.

Why did she steal? Here is the explanation offered at the polire court by a specialist in psycholo- gical medicine.

She is a rather lonely type of woman. The neuropathic condi- tion which explains her act is that she is the youngest and only girl of a family of four children.

She is a very good example of

a girl brought up in a family of boys developing an isolated mode of life and wandering about-as in this case-on shopping expedi- tions.

The magistrate imposed a fine nf £6, with £3 costs.
