PROBLEM FOR A JUDGE
A difficult problem came before Judge Moore, at Greenwich County Court, when he was asked to decide whether a woman’s dress was of a reasonable length. Mrs Ethel Elizabeth Carpenter, of Arran road, Catford, sued Mr W. Reef, of Rushey Green, Catford, for £5 10s, the price of a costume, which Mrs Carpenter declared was “ too short, too tight, and impossible to wear.” . After carefully inspecting the costume, which Mrs Carpenter was wearing, the judge remarked: ” I am not an expert, but it looks to me to be very smart.” Mrs Carpenter: “I ■shall, never wear! this again.” , Judge Moore: Although it, may not he absolutely first class, it is not one you are ' entitled" to reject. He- dismissed the case*
