your health will let you come to the
wedding, for VIII Is so anxious to
know you all as soon rs possible. l
am sure YOU will like him-he is very
strong and upright and manly. After
all, it is character that counts, sn't

but, I believe, very happily.
With love to everybody,
Affeetionately your niece,

Dear Arthur:
am sorry, very sorry, but 1t IS true.
] am not going to answer your letter.
Some day you will see it differently
and will write me another. Meanwhile
I am what I have always been,
Your sincere friend,
P. Dew.
I am not angry, my dear boy-only
very much grieved over it all.
Dearest Anna:
I want you to be n of the first to
know the beautiful news. Mr.. Blake
and I are going to be married next
month. With your own happiness so
very new, you will appreciate what
this means to me. You will like VIII,
he has such delicate perceptions, and
is so thoroughly an artist, in spite OF
being such a thriving young lawyer.
I understand now why you would not
have a large trousseau, dear Anna. L
do not see how q girl can spend this
time, of all others, in running to the
dressmaker's. I am getting only a few
simple things, and am trying to keep
nv mind and spirit %unfagged. You
must let me bring Will to see you
some evening. and you. must promise
to sing to him. He is so impatient to
hear you. With love,
Devotedly,
Patricia.

have taken q very decent apartment
it is Just three doors from the
Hornes'-and you will always find a
warm welcome and q good glass OF

cannot tell you how much it means to
me that Wills friends are pleased
aud you especially, his very best friend
of all. I am sorry to hear that you
are not well, and that you are going
away to stay indefinitely. Will will be
deeply disappointed not to have YOU al

much that I was locking forward TO
knowing you better, for my W sake
as we'll as his.
Hoping to see you back soon,
Cordially yours,

Dear Jerome:
I have often wondered which OF us
would write this news to the other
first. And now, of course, you kno"
what has happened-or rather, what
is about to happen next month. DO
you remember our promise to keep at
least our perfect frankness? We'll,
then, I am offered love under very
pleasant conditions, and I am taking it
gratefully and gladly. think we shall
make q true success of it. 1 have put
away certain childish things in the
way of Illusions, and I like the reali-
ties better. Give me your blessing,
dear Jerome! I am endlessly glad we
came out Of it friends. You would
like Willie is very simple and gen.
erous and big hearted. Come to the
wedding if you want tc-not other
wise.

Patricia.
Billy Beloved:
have written five billion notes, and
T will not tell another soul. They q
read it in the papers. Oh, dear, it IS
such a bore to pretend to be interested
in anyone but you! Who cares wheth-
er they know or lot-stupid things!
Everyone will want to meet you, but
we will ro+ out Of all we can. There
is no lie in the world but you and me
and aren't you glad Of it?
Coming tonight?
