But the Prince Charming did
come at last. He was Joe Lang,
now the Ugly Duckling's hus-
band.
"I used to be the most miser-
able girl in the world" said Mrs.
Lang, as she sat weeping in court
today.
81 used to be so 1onely-no one
can know how lonely girl who
is ugly, who is laughed at for her
ugliness, becomes.
81 know my own father hated
me for my ugliness. I knew that
was why he made me work, work,
work. He told me thousands of
times that no one ever wanted to
see my ugly face.
"And at nights I would go to
bed all tired out and cry because
God had made. me so different
from other girls, who had beaux
and friends, and were happy.
81 had nobody-not even my
mother. My mother left father
when I was only a baby, you
know. I think that is anotheC
reason he hates me.
81 hoped and I hoped that some
day man would come along who
did not want pretty wife, and
that he would fall in love with
me.
81 did so want man to love
me, and / knew that I would love
him in return as never a man was
loved before.
All I would ask was that he
wouldn't look at me with +he ex-

81 was beginning 70 believe
that there never was going to be
man, that I never was going to
know what love was, when Joe
Lang came along.
The first time met him I felt
myself melt, and I knew that at
last I was to know love.
There was no disgust in his
eyes when he looked at me that
first time. There never has been
since.
"Joe began calling on me every
night. He never noticed my
LONELINESS. He never paid any
attention to the stories people
told about me. He was so nice
and kind. He was the only per
son in the world who ever told
me l was pretty enough for him.
Father tried to separate Joe
and me. He told him to quit call
ing. l suppose he hated to lose
his drudge.
"But Joe and I met anyhow,
and 1 defed my father. Why
shouldn't I have? What had he
ever done for me?
Joe proposed to me. l accept

went to Joe and told him stories
about me. Joe told him he would
