[A licence was recently applied for to enable NELLIE WICK,
aged eight years, to shave in public. Mr. DE RUTZEN, in
granting the application, remarked that "the child was not
likely to suffer any injury from the performance." Let us hope
no one else will, either.]
The latest infant-prodigy is literally a _shaver_,
A little lady-Figaro, who'll _raze_ you like the wind!
Though brave may be this barber-child, her victims will be braver--
A _kind_ of _wounder_, possibly, might prove this "_wunderkind_!"
