1 Thai is the reason why the girls are the
smartest. and my fear is that they are
/ I;ttIa too smart and won't marry those
vo,,np felIers who can't write little po-
strv and don't know whether Byron
wrote Shakespeare or Shakespeare BY
ron. But reckon they will, sooner OF
later. Mrs. Arp says that girls marry
tro aoon ANYHOW, and she don't want any
. of hers to marry under ~, unless the

been effected ON the ledge, but many
