i wonder, dear Dick, il you
have missed my letters?
You know, dear, solemnly
made up my mind l would not
write you. ! thought you would
get nervous and at least wire to
see IL l were still in the land of
the living, but, alas! l find that,
having married wife, you are
perfectly content with this
thought when you are away, mo
news is good news"
really expected you home
yesterday and was greatly disap-
pointed when Mr.. Selwin> called
me up to say that you would have
to stay another week to arrange
the details of the wonderful con-
tract you have made with the
school board at -.
Congratulations, my dear. ! am
very proud of the business ability
of my husband.
Annie Is going to have a baby
and she already calls him" "lit-
tie Tim." 4 sincerely hope it will
not be a "her." To hear her talk
spu would know that she and big
Tim" already had "the boy" work
ing at the city hall.
I'm awfully glad they are so
happy. One time / was afraid
that they would not be able to
make a Ego" of their lives to-
gether, but / see now it was just
because Tim had not found the
kind of work for which he was
fitted.
Do you know, dear, / believe
II I were to wish someone | loved
the greatest wish l knew how to
formulate l would say: "Send
him the work for which he Is
fitted"
Tou. my dear, are absolutely
fitted for your work. You love it;
you succeed in it and you are
happy. | hope you will under
stand me when / say that / am
not so much in your thoughts or
your life as in your work. Byron
at least knew his own sex when
he put love in the secondary place
in mems lives.
Your mother is not very well
and she is very unhappy. Conse-
quently everyone about her is I'M
happy. don't know what you
are going to do with her about
the business. She resents the idea
of Mary managing it. However, /
won't worry you with that until
you get home.
I've got some surprising news
to tell you when you arrive. (I
am going to see il your curiosity
will not impel you to write me IL
only to ask what II Is.
I've been over to Eliene's three
or four times. Met that Mr.. Hat
ton and like him immensely. l
want him to come out here when
you get home. Gle has asked to
CALI Poor man, from what he
tells me | am sure his money does
not make him at all happy, and
Harry tells me that his mother di-
vorced his father to marry an
other man.
BY the way, Bill Tenney told
me the other night he still loved
his divorced wife. Can you beat
that?
Aunt Mary has not come home
yet, and / tell you I'm awfully
lonesome for her. I'm going to
insist that she shall come back
Just as soon as things are settled
over at your mothers.
Mollie is still delighted with
her place. MIR. Hatton. ] think, Is
fond Of her. He speaks very nice
ly about her.
cannot write you about Jack,
as have not seen him since you
left. / think he, too, resents Mary
being made manager of the book
shop.
II takes a big man, Dick, to ac-
knowledge that any woman, even
his wife, can do better than he can
in the same line of work.
/ guess | have written you all
the news, and you know I'll be
very happy when you come back
to your MAholf-
CONTINUED Tomorrow
