WISE CHILD
Down at the seashore small Miss Margery, aged four, was walking along the bluff with a friend of her mother's, who had accompanied the family on a day's outing.
"Don't go so near the edge," cautioned the child's companion, as the venturesome little one frolicked in the dangerous places, and as the advice was unheeded, added: "It won't be my fault if you fall over."
"No," said Margery, "but you'll be the one blamed for it."
