the pines and hemlocks whisper
sweet nothings into his car.
She is Miss Edith Ransom, for

he was director of the Bureau Of

years old, beautiful. vivacious,

Miss Ransom:
"Mr. Woodwafd proposed and I
accepted. Mr.. Woodward intro

said: Give me health and a day in

"I miss my little companion very
