Mollie's letter to me was funny
and pathetic by turns.
1t began: 81 cannot begin to tell
you how shocked Twas to hear of
your accident, dear MaTgie. 1 can
not imagine you, with your energy
and enthusiasm, lying on your back
for weeks and weeks in hospital.
You poor girl, almost feel as though
were doing something wrong to be
so happy when know you must be
miserable
my dear, my dear, 1 wish you
could have been here last week. Chad
and l had been incoming around Rome
all day-the weather is glorious and
arrived somewhat tired at our hotel,
thinking we would not dress for din
ner, which we usually have served in
our own suite.

voice l had ever heard from him, Z

be awaiting your arrival
Why, didn't you get our wireless

well, dear Margie, after all, moth

our wedding trip and has added an
other in the person of Mr.. Trent to
the family party.
1T is funny to hear mother eXpiati-
ate on dear old dads virtues and Ia
boriously explain that she could never
love again as she loved him. All the
while she is doing this poor Mr.. Trent
sits mum looking so miserable. If
were ever to marry again I'd certainly
let my first husband rest in peace.
81 really believe though that after
some sort of fashion he is quite hap
py. You know mother is good to look
at with her white hair, her still fine
teeth and her still brilliant dark eyes.
She has grown young too in her hap
piness, and l am mighty glad she has
gotten some one of her very own to
look after her
But, oh, Margie, wish she were
satisfied to let Chad and me alone.
She insists we shall be spectators to
Mr.. Trent's homage from morning
until night. Chad chafes under it.
l am hourly afraid of some kind of an
outbreak.

can't moon with four, can you?
Margie, dear, have been wonder

as Chad and l are. l don't think you
could be even in the first flush of mar
ried life, for Dick has none of those
differential traits and flattering man
ners that Chad has.

cess in the fairy tale, and in one
