for all three Of us, for we could not be
more contnted if we tried. Everything
has turned out as we wished it, and
am glad that our home life is to be
! filled with sunshine after all the diff
culties that we have experienced since
I first realized that Bertha loved my
son, Edward, more than she did me. l
am glad I got q divorce SO that my son
could wed his stepnother, because now
we are all satisfied and l think my
sacrifice to my son was worth while.
He has been a good boy and I am sure
no mistake has been made in this mat
ter. Just see for yoursel."

sacrifice which Father Twitchell made
and I think we shall want him to re-
main always with US

we can never do enough for him.

JOY of the other two.
When asked why she married The
