With Feminine Curiosity

She was from Chicago. One glance at
her substantially built foot, which pro-
truded from beneath the rufiie of her
dress told that. She was naturally an
admirer of Chief Justice Fuller and his
snowy white curls.
Two Illinois firms were involved in
the case before the Supreme Court and
the fair visitor manifested two-fold
interest In II.
When argument in the case was con-
cluded. the Chief Justice adjourned
court until the following day One by
one the visitors filed out of the court
room, but the young woman prevailed
upon her escort TO remain seated as she
wished to hear the courts decision In
the case
Her companion urged her to leave as
! all or the others had left, but she re-
piled that she intended TO wait and hear
the opinion in the case. After half an
hour or more one of the court attend
ants, who had evidently heard the young
1oman's remarks. informed her that the
Supreme Court OF the United States
never gave its opinion in Gaze in less
then two weeks. after hearing the argu-
nent and 1t was no uncommon thing for
a period of two years or so 10 lapse be-
fore the court committed itself.
