~ of a Bride

Katherine NTillsr's wish that her child
might inherit its fathers portion Of the
LOrimer millions was interesting. OF
course, but the Lorimers did not re-
qHre it for their guidance.
When ChTys enthused about IL as an

quite forgot that Mother Lorimer had
already instructed our Iawyer-friend,
Martha Palmer to make out the proper
papers for the settlement Of a great
sum Of money on Baby Babs.
Mother and Daddy had agreed about It
months since.
Now hat there was some danger that
Daddy might never come homo Mother
took the matter in hand.
