The balance from the season this
year was not so large as last year.
The difference resulted from the
warm weather and the strike sit

of patronage, it is thought. The
contract for the season was 81 800.

1t does not seem to me you should
have expected much from the young
man. At the age of twenty-five ne
could hardly be expected to marry
and unless he asked you to marry
him you snourd not have permitted
him to make love to you. l do rot
admire the type of man you de-
scribe--the heartbreaker, but l
don't always blame him. He is
permitted to make love to almost
every girl he meets. At first he
thinks her love means a lot.
