When Romance Runs Riot
The SpInster Who Wishes to Become

By Beatrice Fairfax

! A YOUNG woman who has learned

others that she needs a guardian
writes me:
Il am very fond Of children. How
may I get into correspondence with
some WidOWer with the view OF matr1-
mOny? I am all alone in the world
This young woman has romantic Wis
ions of making herself the idOliZed of
some WidOWer's home She pictures her
self in an armchair in the evening with
the W1dOWerS children on her lap ana
their father sitting opposite beaming
in happiness at such an ideal scene
If she marries a WidOWer with chill
dren, she will wake up before the hon
eymOon is over Some one must moth

so difficult by relatives and friends OF
the dead mother that the bravest heart
has reason to shrink from the task
And as for voluntarily seeking 1t!
This young woman is so ignorant or

needs a guardian

need when he goes counting the second
time that he picks up some woman most
unfit for all mOtheFing purposes
The writer of this letter complains
she is alone in the world. No one is
alone in the world who recognizes the
big tie of kinship that binds US.
One need not sit down with folded
hands and pine because one is alone,
