he explained 81 became engaged and
bought the girl $500 diamond ring.
During 1920, for some fool reason, she
broke off the engagement" He went
on to point out that she liked the ring,
however, and that he sold 1t to her for
$3.50, thereby losing a good 500; and
furthermore, that it was not at all
his fault that the catastrophe befell.
Now she is willing to be engaged
again." he concluded, "if will let her
keep the ring and give back the $3.50,

her, but tell you this so you will know
