very high and ore running from $50

splendid victories over the powers of

admiration. A man like yourself can
not but be kind hearted and good, and,

favor at your hands.

modest in me to tell you that l wish to

looking for my ideal and have as yet
failed to discover him. Shall I tell you
what that ideal is?

Ginning years in Il worlds elysium. L
simply. in my companion of a lifetime,
desire one whose soul can commune
with mine and be understood. Such
is my only dream and my only ambi-
