In another column Of the same paper
YOU will find these verses:
MY SWEETHEART.
I've a sweetheart. true and faithful.
With eyes OF azure blue:
His teeth are as the snowy pearl,
His hair a golden hue.
And oh! the peace and JOY / feel
When twilight shadows fall.
With his fair head upon my breast.
For he's my all In all.
Each day. each hour. | love him more:
Hes dearer far 10 me
Than all the gold and gems you'd End
In lands across the sea.
God grant me wisdom from above
To lead his steps Alright.
And may he ever follow straight
Unto the path Of light
And when the time for parting comes
To cross the dark, deep sea,
II | 20 FIRST, I'll watch for him
II not. he'll wait for me.
Who then, is ,his-my sweetheart?
I'm sure you'll guess another;
For with his arms about my neck.
He says, II love You. mother!

who is twenty-one and can sing.
They can tell YOU that after choir
practice the organist and an alto singer
stayed In the organ loft until the sexton
came around and turned out the lights.
They can tell you that every time Mr..
Housman had to go out OF an evening TO
give a music lesson he was met by girl
that was not his wife, and they can also
tell YOU that they went for long walks In
quiet lanes"
And then Mrs. Housman herself VIII
chime in and say she used to know the
girl when she was the sweetest little
thing in all Csstleton Corners. and that
she never would have suspected she would
have come in between her and Ancil.

with that woman. who is a mllllner IN
New York. and he told me ] didn't LOOK

10 bed. And didn't he go right over to
her house. while her father and mother
were away, and didn't I follow but
couldn't get in because the doors were all
locked and the blinds closed? And when
the woman's parents came back. didn't he
sneak out OF the back door and come
home and try 10 kiss me? So ] got out
OF the house with my little clifford. and
even IL did pay half what 1t cost am
not going back"

'J was lust nineteen years old when

tosether until a year and half ago
vhen I found a letter which had been
sent 10 my husband by Miss Msude NAL

bells ring and wished she was In church
with Housman took him to task. but
no said he knew nothing about the letter
and I forgave him. Later friends told
me he was paying much attention TO MISS

window and on a dozen or more times /
have seen my husband coming up the
road with his arm around Miss Nal

Housman himself said the worst ne

My mother in-law and my sister-in-law
also butt too much into my business.
They have put my wife up to many things
