l didn't make chapter of that last
1t wasn't long enough. And. really, !
don't know as I've got much to add
TO it now. There's nothing much hap

so much time for fun. Schools pretty
good, and there are two or three girls
most as nice as the ones at Anderson

Mother keeps things just as lively as
ever, and we have beautiful times.
Mother is having a lovely time with
her own friends. too. Seems as if there
is always some one here when | get
home. and lots of times there are teas
and parties. and people 10 dinner.
There are gentlemen. too. suppose
one of them will be Mothers lover by
and by; but of course | don't know
which one yet. I'm awfully interested
in them, though. And of course it's
perfectly natural that | should be.
Wouldn't you be interested in the man
that was going to be your new fatheri
Well, I just guess you would Any
body would.
There are quite a lot Of them. and
they're all different, They'd make very
different kinds Of fathers. I'm sure.
and I'm afraid I wouldn't like some
of them. But. after ALL it's Mother
that ought to settle which TO have
not me. She's the one TO be pleased
'TwOuld be such pity to have TO
change again. Though she could. OF
course, same as she did Father, sup
pose.
As said. they're all different. There
are only two that are anywhere near
alike, and they aren't quite the same,
Tor ones a lawyer and the others
in a bank. But they both carry canes
end wear tall silk hats, and part their
hair In the middle, and look at you
through the kind of big round eye
glasses with dark rims that would
make you look awfully homely If they
didn't make you look so stylish. But
| don't think Mother cares very much
for either the lawyer or the bank man.
and I'm glad. | wouldn't like to live
with those glasses every day. even If
they are stylish. I'd much rather have
Fathers kind.
Then there's the man that paints
mixtures. He's tall and slim. and wears
queer ties and long hair. He's always

with his head on one side. and eX-
