| DEAR KERMIT:
I agree pretty well with your views
Of David Copperfield. Dora was very
cunning and attractive, but I am not
sure that the husband would retain
! enough respect for her to make life
! quite what it ought to be with her
This is a harsh criticism and I have
/ known plenty of women of the Dora
type whom I have felt were a goo6
deal better than the men they married
and have seen them sometimes make
very happy homes. I also feel as yor
do that if a man had to struggle OF
and make his way it would be great
deal better to have some one like
Sophie. Do you recolIect that din.

Ted blew in today. I think he ha
heen studying pretty well this teri
and now he is through all his exam

that you will pay what attention yo

distance for you, but il you will tt
