Dear Mrs. Thompson: / am a young
| lady old enough to know my own mind.
! Five years ago | started to keep com
pany with young man who loved me
| dearly. He~Was a young man of good
] habits and was a good worker, but he
| had high temper. After I went with
! him a while / learned to care a great
deal for him and we became engaged.
We did not let anybody know because
| | knew il would have to be at least two
| years before we could marry. We were
very happy. He seemed almost to wor-
ship me. lily parents suspected that
we were engaged and then arose our
| first clouds Of trouble. They objected
to our marriage because they we're
wealthy and they did not want me TO
marry anyone who was poor. II hurt
me TO have my parents object 10 my
sweetheart. | had never disobeyed
them, but / could not give him up. We
decided to marry as soon as we could
save enough to go to housekeeping. 1t
was very hard to save and ill-iuck was
with us. His father died, leaving a big
doctor bill for him to pay and an aged
mother TO care for. He worked hard,
but could not save money. After three
years of hard work and worry his
mother went 10 a distant state TO live
with a daughter and he went to dis
tant city to work.
1t was then I made a big mistake.
There was no prospect of our wedding
and so while he was gone | started go
ing with someone else. / was tired of
waiting, but 1 loved him as dearly
as before. My parents were quite
happy that l was going with this young
man, because in the eyes of the world
he would be better match. / had no
desire of keeping the fact that / was
engaged from him, but we never talked
about it, Meanwhile my old sweetheart
came TO see me and proposed that we
get married. He was making from
S65 to $40 a month and had chance of
a promotion. We set the wedding day
for two months later. We had storm
with my parents over II and so about
two weeks after he had gone back l
wrote and told him l could not marry
him
Both his and my heart are broken
/ believed that / could be happy with
no man without the blessing Of nay par

made a notable debut into FINLAND in

much the beauty of such a picture can
be enhanced by suitable music one had
ample chance 10 ascertain last Friday

Messrs. HeCker and klammerstein, VIC
