a woman OF position and fortune her
father was Judge, and doubtless ex-
pected family" and social importance
In his SON In law Clemens, however,
became interested in his daughter, and
after awhile proposed, but was re-
ected.
"Well," he said TO the lady, Il didn't
much think you'd have me, but

the occurrences in the family, and,
among other things, the sayings of her
parents. On one page she wrote that
father sometimes used stronger words
when mother wasn't by and he thought
1--WE" didn't hear. Mrs. Clemens
found the diary and showed 1t to her
husband, probably thinking the par
ticular page worth his notice. After
this Clemens did and said several
things that were intended to attract
the child's attention, and found them
duly noted afterward. But one day
the following entry occurred:
