You, must be q terrible nuisance. Not
simply because i think so. No, indeed
There are a number Of letters here on my
desk all asking that write you up.
You are suburban girl who works in
town, You have decidedly take-it-for-
granted fashion OF dropping down inin-
vited on some one of your friends who lives
In the city. You arouse her as you come in
from the office and take possession OF her
couch and her hospitality that you knew she
would not mind u you stayed in town to-
night and went to the theater. With feel
ing description, you outline all the woes OF
tho suburban girl about her beaux. You
make II quite clear that It Is perfectly i'm
possible TO go clear out home after office
hours and get dressed to come back into
the city for the theater. And you enlarge
upen- the fact that girl really cannot ex-
poet a man to come out to a suburb to get
her. why1.sof course not A girl who asks
any such ridiculous thing would never have
any 'beaux at all. & 49,

you how much you may Inconvenience her.
There are mighty few houses where the
unexpected guest is genuinely welcome. No
one likes having the hospitality Of her home
just calmly grabbed No living woman likes
TO be literally held up for bed and board.
OF course, now you are in the beau days.
But you will keep up your imposition after
you have captured the man. If you still
live in the suburbs you will just run in for
lunch" You ought TO be run out for les
son. But no one can quite screw their

the granddaughter OF Sir Thomas Fleming

son, who was also q John Payne, married
Patrick Henry's first cousin, Mary Coles
These were the parents of Dorothy Payne,
who was brought up a Quaker and mar
