the money to pay expenses if you haven't
the ready cash on hand; but take your wife
to Cape May Immediately. 1t will not cost
half as much as her funeral. Sea air, sea
bathing. and sight of old ocean, will put
new life ito her veins.
She can't possibly leave home. We have
too many young children.
She'll have toleave home, and her young
