''They ought to do something" said
Anna Blackman, sinking into the hall

AS a result Of the Indignation meet

seek out OIechO Tamura and demand
an explanation. He found the repre-
sentative of japanese nobility coming
out Of the chemical laboratory and
preached the subject with character
istic lack Of diplomacy.
you've played the devil" Re said.
'What do you mean by writing love
letters to all these girls? Great
SeottI You've got yourself into a
fine box. They say they won't have
anything more to do with you /" Poor
/ Okecho Tamura was stunned.
what have I done?'' he asked 81
wrote 70 the four young ladies, as
I you told me to do, so that they would
know that am grateful for the kind
ness that they have shown for me-"
cit was al right to thank them,
I but what in thunder did you mean by
I trying to make love to all four? If
/ you'd made love to any one Of them
/ it wouldn't have made any difference.
NO
made because the other girls received
this same letter"
Eyes, all were very good to me, so
I sent the same letter to each"
well, you're not in love with four
/ girls at one time, are your Do you
want to take charge of all our girls?
I Don't you think you ought to leave
/ one or two for the rest Of the fei-
\ lows2'
This Yankee sarcasm was entirely
wasted on OkechO Tamura- He wore
/ a frown of deep concern as he asked,
And do you say that the young Ia

Angry? They're red-headed. In
/ this country you mustn't tel girl
! YOU love her unless you mean IL, and
she won't permit you to 60 around
/ telling IL to any other girl until she
gets through with you and gives you

-
retically impossible for a man to love
more than one girl at a time. If he
ever has two on his mind at the same

is entitled TO only one wife and the

not true that we love all Of Ouz
I friends?r
Love is a very broad and com
/ prehensive term, but when 1t is used
in a communication TO a young lady
it is supposed to have very definite
and specific meaning. Probably you
did not understand that or realize
that pOetical compliments are taken

write again and try to make it clea1
that you have not been tamPering
with their affections"
