Mr.. Winchester dear, I'm %
glad to see you that could fall on
your neck and weep. You've simply
got to select q gown for mo. Really,
I've been through 80 much the last
two weeks that I'm not capable Of 50

It's all on account OF Tom, poor,
dear boy! OF course you've heard
that he is engaged. You haven't?
Well, the fact has 80 thoroughly filled
my horizon that / suppose have got
into the habit of thinking everybody

heartbroken about 1t.
Yes, I was going to tell you about
the girl that poor Toms engaged to.
I'm so distressed about 1t. She's per
fectly wonderful and charming, too,
! don't doubt, but, my dear, she's the
most superior creature that ever was
born! She knows everything. ITO

You know it's to wear at the re-
ception that my sons fiancee's mother
Is going to give to announce the en-
gagement, and I'm afraid that would

end of talk. (To clerk) Could you
show me some of those things quite
down at the other end? So nice OF
you.
There's no reason on earth why
everybody shouldn't be delighted. Her
family Is verp prosperous and Tom is
quite able, young as he Is, to set up a
very creditable establishment. I'm
so distressed about It. (To clerk)

Tom had a perfectly terrible attack
of typhoid three years ago. and
stayed with him day and night. and
nobody had any idea he'd live through
it-and then to have him marry some

YES. indeed, I feel almost as sorry
