SIN my father just the same, only
well he Isn't Mothers husband any
more. so | surp"sr he's only my father
by order N the court. same ms I'm his
daughter
We'll. anyhow. he's the father I've
grown up With. and 81 course I'm used
to him now. And it, an altogether

And 50 now, when see all these nice
young gentlemen t0nly they aren't all
young; some Of them are quite nld)
coming TO the houS" md talking to
Mother. and hanging over the back Of
her chair, and handing her tea and lit
tie cakes, can't help wondering which,
II any, is going TO be her lover and my
new father. And | am also wondering
what I'll have to do on account OF him
when get him, II get him.
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 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 10 have to
change again. Though she could, Of
course. same as she did Father, l sup
pose.
As said. they're all different. There
are only two that are anywhere near
alike. and they aren't quite the same.
for ones lawyer and the others
In bank. But they both carry canes
and 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 rius that would
make you look awfully homely II they
didn't make you look SO stylish. But
I don't think Mother cares very much
for either the lawyer or the bank man,
and I'm glad. I wouldn't like to live
with those glasses every day, even II
they are stylish. I'd much rather have
Fathers kind.
Then there's the, man that paints
pictures. He's tall and slim. and wears
queer ties and long hair He's always
standing back and looking at things
with his head on one side. and ex.
claiming "OhI" and "Ah !" with long
breath. He says Mothers coloring ia
wonderful. heard him. And didn't
like It very well. either. Why, II
sounded as II she put II on herself out
of box on her bureau. same as some
other ladies dol Still. he's not SO bad
| muybe. thoukh III not Sue Uut Wnht
his paints and pictures would be Jus,
az tiresome to live with as Fathers
stars. when 1t came right down to
/ wanting a husband to live with you
and talk to you every day In the year
You know you have to think Of such
things when 1t comes to choosing q
new father-I mean a new husband
Il keep forgetting that it's Mother and
not me that's doing the choosing.)
Well, to resume and 60 On. There's
the violinist. mustn't forget him
But. then. nobody could forget him
He's lovely: 30 handsome and distin
guished-looking with his perfectly
beautiful dark eyes and white teeth
And he plays-well. I'm simply crazy
over his playing. I only wish Carrie
Haywood could hear him. She think,
her brother can play. Hes travelling
