stared hard at the witness as Mr. Crow
/ ley began TO read:
"MaX. dearest, | am 90 glad I have
q chance TO write again tonight.
81 have felt rather down all day, and
tonight | don't feel very well first of
all. I am terribly lonesome. and when

more.
~ looked the other day in the paper
and found something which might help
you, Max dear. really do expect you
TO come to New York as soon as you
can. OF course. | cannot go on any
longer being so miserable, and It Will
help me so 10 sec you. and it does not
seem fair that you should not work
here, where | can see you and talk
with YOU, as we'll as working some
where where there is no such chance.
"Max. dear. | do not know what to
do about many things. One is, Mr..
Florman is showing me much atten-
ton. II is alright, Of course, but I
ought to tell him / should give up
the idea entirely of me caring for
him except as a friend.
1.-THE next thing, ! suppose you will
be thinking it silly idea, but don't
think il is silly-this is it-when you
come to New York, If you think it is
alright. ] will marry you secretly. But
! the awful part is, IL ! do marry you,
and the best and wisest thing 10 do
would be to go home again and go
on as usual and wait until you have
a position, which will make us both
/ Independent.
Don't Think Me Too Crazy"
"Max, dearest. it is not because I
am not willing to wait for you, be-
cause. as | have told. ! will wait as
! long as I must, but | only had this
/ idea and / could not help telling you
about it. Please don't think me too
crazy, only for my part | would feel
better about everything, although I
know it would be much harder not
to be together afterward. and although
I know it rather a crazy idea, that is
the way ! feel about 1t.
MAX, dearest, please don't ever not
trust me by thinking | might not care
for you as much as ! did, because you
must know ! love you enough to give
up everything for you, only / want to
try and be sensible.
~ hope to get your letters to-mor-
row morning.
Love. JULIET
In a letter Of November 3 she said:
az suppose when ! go to meet you |
will drop dead with JOY"
On the day following she intrusted
this to the mails:
Dearest: I am so pleased that you
think you can be here by next Sunday.
I am go sorry you feel blue at times,
but you are not doing right By not
going out more and not trying to meet
more people. You should be careful,
Of course, but try and get to know
people who are worth while. ! mean
people who can introduce you to people
who would be able to do things for you
! financially and socially. In other words,
TO gain something by knowing people,
and sometimes you meet lot of peo-
pie before you meet any one that is
worth while at all. This is a mercenary
way to look upon friends. You must
| do it because every one should who is
at all clever.
"You know the two girls that asked
you in. | should so TO see them |
know you are shy Kleist and his wife
smiled, but not at each other, but
they might be nice. and you, maybe,
will meet others through them. II is
really an important thing to realize
in life. Ii has never worked very well
with me, because | have always liked
every one for what they are"
Trusted Her dearest Boy"

| 10 you since we have been married. !
really am yours for always. am

| character not to go away with you. |
! have felt several times the last few
days I could not hold out any longer
! that ] was not as strong as ] thought
and that | would have to go with you.
When YOU think of US both living apart
when we are so terribly in need OF
each other, | am afraid that II you
| don't help me TO be sensible ! will come
to you. ! do want you TO look for work
this week, cause you will be happier.
and the quicker you start the sooner
