This was over two months ago
June ~. to be eNact-but it was not
until Tuesday that Papa Arney be-
came aware that he rad a SON. in-law

in the case of Miss .Arney and Mr..

cr's company was that the father had
aspirations for his daughter Like all
other good fathers he wanted his
daughter to have a college education.
AT the time the young people met one
another Miss Arney was not out of
high school. Her father wanted her
TO complete high school, teach for tws
years in rural schools, and then re-
ceive a college education.
Mr.. Arney outlined his views of his
daughters welfare to the young man.
and talked with him about his habits.
Mr.. Arney did not approve of one bad
habit Meyring had. The young man
confessed that ne was a second little
Robert Reed but that occasionally ne
emulated Sir Walter Raleigh. While
this was not a positive barrier between
the two men, Mr. Arney made il plain
TO Meyring that the parent thought the
young man should not take up Miss
Arney's time, in view of the fact thai
she expected to attend summer school
and teach in the fall

understood. the young people deter
mined that they would meet secretly.

half for overtime entered the mind Of
the youthful swain.
a code of signals was arranged. and
when darkness enthroned the Arrey
home, young Meyring would meet his
lady love for a chat on the veranda.
OF course there could be no laughter
or loud talk, but lovers sometimes get
along fairly we'll without conversing
above whispers. and the love making
went along smoothly.
Then Miss Arney went TO the ,Iate
teachers college, to prepare herself 10
teach school this fall. and later the
young folks decided that as long as
they were old enough to be married.
and it wasn't anybody's business but
their own" they would be married.
despite any objections on the part OF
papa Miss Arney left Cedar Falls for
Minneapolis, and was Joined there by
