Dear Miss Grey: This be-
ing my first letter. l hope
you will not throw IL in the
waste basket, as l want you
to answer II.
In regard to happy mar
riages. l do not think 1t is
necessary to have 81. 900 for
a happy marriage, as / have
seen people marry and the
husband didn't have $26,
and they got along fine and
lived happily, and as to my
self, | got married when l
had a few hundred dollars
saved up and was making
good money and did so for
about two years and half.
BY that time we had two
babies and | then had $2,-
600 saved and my wife
thought we were getting too
much money so she went
spending 1t and paying her
people to come visit her and
my Oldest baby took sick and
had a doctor every day for
four months and was taken
from my work. At the end
Of four months my baby died
and my money was gone and

would threw II up to me and
II hurt me so I didn't know

there was no more happy
days for me, for she would
not let me get a penny ahead
any more and quarreled with
me all the time. aud her peo-
pie worked against me all
the time and she would say

Now. Miss Grey, I was
good to her and bought her

that his speech meant that he had
not told Dick he was going to
stop for him, and, as l saw that
little Mrs. Brown, who is not only
gossipy but malicious, looking
curiously out of the window Of
the glass-inclosed porch, / got in
hastily and Harry gave the order
for the chauffeur to go to Dicks
office.
/ wondered what Mollie would
say IL she saw me doing the very
thing l had taken her to task
about, and, although We intended
to pick up Dick, felt that Harry
Symone should have gone for him
first or at least sent the empty
car for me and had himself picked
up last.

Margie," said Harry as we started
off.

speech of people. 1t is all very

along in a car and turned to him
impulsively and said: And it is
you men that have made us care
you want your women to be
above reproach in the mind and
speech of the people. You show
us daily that you consider us diff

will all protect us against every
one but yourself. With each one
of you, women en- masse must be
cared for and protected, but indii
vidually you consider her legitii
mate prey. And the fact that you
may be pouching on a friends
preserves does not keep you from
the excitement of the chase.
Harry had the grace to blush,
especially as at that moment we
stopped at Dicks office, and the
boy said: "Mr. Waverly has been
gone since four o'clock" and he
could see that knew he had been
"pouching."
