Hes lovely: so handsome and distin-
ruisbed-lOoklng with his perfectly |
bsautiful dark eyes and white teeth. |
And he plays-well, I'm simply crazy
0rer his playing. only wish Carrie
psrvood could hear him. She thinks
her brother can play. He's travelling
dGlIpist with a show; and he came
home once to Andersonville. And /
heard him. But he's not the real thing
tall. Not q bit. Why, he might be
suybcdy, our grocer. or the butcher,

are little and blue, and his hair Is
red and very short. / wish she could
bear our viOlinist play!
And there's another man that comes
10 the parties and teas oh, Of course
there are others, lots of them, married
men with wives. and unmarried men
with and without sisters. But l mean
another man specially. His name is
Harlow. He's a little man with
brown pointed beard and big soft
brown eyes. He's really awfully good
looking, too. / don't know what he
does do; but he's married. / know
that He never brings his wife, though;
but Mothers always asking for her,
clear and distinct, and she always
mIles, and her voice kind of tinkles
Ike little silver bells. But just the
sane be never brings her.
He never takes her anywhere. |

I'm not sure, anyway, that MOtherll
