And l have heard things
 He says her eyes are lovely. He likes her best in blue He's very lone ly, and he never found woman be fore who really understood him. He thinks her soul and his are tuned 10 the same string. (Oh. dear! That sounds funny and horrid. and not at all the way il did when he said it. It was beautiful then. But-well. that is what il meant, anyway)
 She told him she was lonely. too. and that she was very glad to have him for q friend and he said he prized her friendship above everything else in the world. And he looks at her, and eyes and she blushes up real pink and pretty lots of times when he comes into the room.
 Now, if that isn't making love to each other. I don't know what is I'm sure he's going to propose. Oh, I'm so excited!
 Oh. yes l know if he does propose and she says yes. he'll be my new fla ther. l understand that And, of course, can't help wondering how I'll like it. Sometimes l think 1 won't like it at all Sometimes I almost catch myself wishing that didn't have to have any new father or mother. I'd never need new mother anyway, and I s1..F, F.t f,H father hy-order- of-the-court would be as nice as he was there two or three times fin the observatory.
 But. there, After all, 1 must remem- Der that I'm not the one that's doing the choosing. It's Mother. And If she wants the violinist l mustn't have any thing to say Besides. really like him very much, anyway. He's the best or the lot I'm sure of that. And that $ something. And then. of course. Pm glad to have something 10 make this a love story. and best of all would he glad to have Mother stop being d. vOrced, anyway.
 MT. Harlow doesn't come here any more. guess. Anyway. haven't seen him here once since came back; and I haven't heard anybody mention his name
 Quite a lot of the others are here, and there are some new ones. But the yiolinist is here most, and Mother seems to go out with him most 10 places. That's why I say l think It's the violinist.
 I haven't heard from Father.
 Now lust my writing that down that way shows that l expected to near from him. though I don't really see why I should. either. Of course, ne never has written to me; ana, or course. I understand that I'm nothing but his daughter by order of the court Rut some way, I did think maybe he write me just & little bit or note Ill answer to mine-my bread-and-hutler letter. I mean; for, of course, Mother had me write that to him as soon as I got here.
 But he hasn't
 wonder how he's getting along, and if he misses me any. But, or course he doesn't do that If l was star now!
 TWO DAYS AFTER THANKSGIVING
 The yiolinist has got rival. I'm sure he has, It's Mir Easterbrook' He's old-much as forty-and bald- headed and fat, and has got lots ol money. And he's very estiihaple man. q heard Aunt Hattie say lhatJ He's awfully Jolly. and l like him. lie hr,nys me the lovellest boxes of candy and calls me Fuss. q don't-like thai particularly. I'd prefer him 10 cai' me Miss Anderson.) Hes not hearls so good-lceking as the violinlst. me violInist is lots more thrilling but shouldn't wonder if Mir. EasterorooK was more comfortable to live with.
 The viollnist is the kind Of man that makes you want to slt up ana tske notice. and have your halr ahd finger nails and shoes just right ; hu' with MT. Ensterhrook you "ouidh mind q bit sitting in big char De fore the fire with pair of old slippers on. If your feet were tired.
 Mir. Easterbrook doesn't care TOT music. He's a broker He looks a"- fully bored when the violinist IS pay inc and he fidgets with his wateh' chain and clears his throat very loud lv inst before he speaks every time His automobile is bigger and hahd
