other inconvenience. The bridegroom
had a daughter of about IS, engaged
IS a teacher at a school of which her
father is honorary trustee. His girl
wife of nine is a pupil at the school
lnder her stepdaughter of eighteen.
The first thing the former did was to
demonstrate with her teacher how she,

IN bench while the daughter taught
her from a chair. What is the poor
stepdaughter to do? She must give up
her position as school mistress or her
dear mother of nine must leave the
school. A pretty dilemma for the low
ing father and husband.
