and see what he would think of it.
SEEM to be living in the middle of real Romance;
which is something l have always longed for, but
expected. Henry Parmenter is the hero,-Or
of Them and is aspiring to the hand of my sister; and
he has dark mysterious rival in her affections of
whose very existence he does not know. The rival is
Sylvester Sharp. By which OF course l do not mean
that @The Domestic Monthly" is in love with Marcia;
but only that she is with tor him. She has had
eral letters, and everyone more beautiful
to her than the last She calls him the Ideal Man.
suppose it good deal easier to keep up the part of
Ideal Man by letter than when you have to appear
yourself though of course Sylvester may be splendid
to look at to hear to read. Anyway, think it is
rather hard Henry Parmenter that he should be sup
planted by mere ghost-as you might call him.
He called last nght,-not the ghost, but Henry.-and
very soon after Marcia in l made excuse to
leave the sitting l didn't to in the least
for having really interesting chat, this time
begins to look as if might finish that book sometime
after all. And it seemed to me that Henry less
patronzing than usual; in fact, just little bit sad
But felt so sure that he wished me in Joppa that
could not bear to stay. 1t gave me queer elderly

account, as l suppose she has often done on mine
garden into Elizabeth Kempers house, and chatted
with her until heard the gate click at half past nne
This morning Marcia had on her problem face while
we did up the breakfast dishes, and that she had
something particular to say, though it took her long
time to get to it. was thoroughly excited before she
spoke.

I have nothing against him now; but 1t is difficult
to explain You know have been coming to feel that
l have larger life to live than had formerly been
doing. something that goes out beyond little town.
And Mr. Parmenter is very much part of the town.

anything to do with my staying on here
in this beastly town, and going through
the farce of providing it with a book
