ter's and her papa 5.
He's one of the SWEETEST fellows on
this boat. that's what he is. if YOU
want to know it. Everybody knows
that he knows all the swells Of Chi

girl with young man like Abe
Mama please -
II mean what 7 say. You thought
on this trip to Europe such fine new
people you could meet. But not one
boy on this boat have I seen what can

when | lay down in that hot bunk of
mine, how that boys face comes right
in front of me the way he looked at

rope out of your head, the better. Abe
maybe amt so SWELL but all ] ever

Il amt, Esther. I amt. Like your
papa says, | should be the last one
, ever to force my children to get mar

, best thing what can happen to you
on this trip is you should write him
to meet us in Paris like he wants you

make up your mind to want him bad
enough to ask him to meet us in Paris.
that, I say, is the best thing what can
, happen on this trip.
'Oh. Mama, you-you make me so
