and got her. She wanted me and now
she has me.
az met my wife (and he said the word
without a tremor) about a year and 2
half ago and from the first, we liked
each other. 1t was not long before

been married a short time before to
Julie Fix.
But when a STAR reporter revealed
the first part of the romance to the
ministerial father he required confir-

21 years old, and the girl said she was
nineteen.
When the anger of the minister
had calmed today he made this state

to receive the young woman into my
home as my daughter. Julie Is good

don't know that l could have found
another young woman who would
have made a better wife for my son.
