A man who had been turned down by
an unappreciative Rag, Bone and Hank
etcetera, hung around her hopefully for
a rev months, pinned hopelessly for
few more, sat up and took notice, met
and fell in love with charming girl
(that she was charming is proved. con-
clusively from his standpoint by the
fact that she was not -unappreciative)
and married her. On the announcement
of the engagement the girl who had
turned him down sent the prospective
bride a gift and the man a polite note
of cOngratulatiOn and good wishes to
which the Mean Old Thing replied in
this wise: My Dear Miss Blank. Your
kind note of congratulation on my ap-
preaching marriage has just reached
me and am all the more eager to ac-
knowledge the courtesy as I realize
that l owe all my present happiness to
you. My only regret on this felicitous
occasion is that 1 can not credit my
own sense and judgment with my
present good fortune but must ac-
knowledge that 1 am entirely indebted
to you for 1t. Had it not been for your
wiser decision I would have been mar
ried to you at the time I met the lovely
girl who will become my wife and who,
I am confident Is my true affinity, and
could never have known the incom-
parable happiness that has possessed
me since our acquaintance begun.
Thanking you with all my heart for
saving me from a disastrous situation
and with the assurance that l am deep
ly appreciative of the debt of gratitude |
owe you both for this service and
your good wishes, 1 am, most cordially |
yours etc., etc.
