IN DOCK ON WEDDING DAY.
Pleading that she wanted to be beautiful on ber wedding day a 19-year-old servant, Jean Logan, of Craigie Village, Kilmarnock, stood in the dock there charged with fraud. Giving a false name and address, the girl, stated the Fiscal, Induced a beauty sp'eclalist to wave her hair. When she left the cubicle she ordered a bottle of perfume, two jars of vanishing cream and a hairnet. “She then asked the assistant if she would change a £5 note,” continued tlie Fiscal, “and, to her surprise, tlie girl offered to do so. Then she pretended she had lost the note, and left the shop to search for it. She did not return.” “I am really sorry for what I’ve done,” Logan told the magistrate. “I'm being married to-night at 7 o’clock. Please give me a chance. I’ve brought some money to pay for what I bought.” Remarking that he was sorry to see a girl in court on her wedding day and that he hoped she had learned her lesson, Bailie McGowan discharged Logan with a caution.
