And the Bride Was Not the One the

Oliver Cromwell was so great q man
that he dwarfed his surroundings, and
It is singular how little the majority
Of people knew about the family and
family life of this "the most typical
Engishman of all time" He had
three daughters, the youngest OF
whom was Frances. Her attractions
must have been considerable. The
young woman had several love affairs,
but certainly the one that had most
amusing termination was her flirta-
ton with her fathers chaplain, Jerry
White.
One day the protector surprised Jer-
ry on his knees IN the very act Of
kissing the lady's hand. Cromwell
coldly demanded the meaning of the
scene. and Jerry, with pretty wit,
exclaimed that he had long been
counting that young gentlewoman.
my lady's woman" although without
success. He was now thereby humbly
praying her ladyship to intercede for
him.
Cromwell turned at once to the wait
Ing woman and requested to be in
formed why she refused the honor his
friend, Mr.. White, would do her. The
young woman. fully equal to the oc-
casion. replied magnanimously that If
Mr.. White intended her that honor she
would not be so churlish as to deny
him. "Call Goodwin" returned Crom'
well. and the pair were married
straightway.
