How Justine Was Cured.

A young girl in the Potato Hill
neighborhood wanted to marry a
widower with two children. so her
parents said TO her: Justine, bring
the two children here for month
and take care of them. If at the end
of that time YOU still want this man
you may have him without opposi-
ton from your parents" Justine
cared for the children just four DAYS,
and then sent them home. The eX-
pertinent was hard on the parents
for few days, but it cured Justine.
The man she loved does not come
twice a week now. But shouldn't t
Justine have known without this eX-
perience? Are not many mistakes
made without excuse?

thrown much in the society OF q man
