had to attend to that. And, Of
course. had to tell the girls all
about Andersonvflle-exceps the parts
I didn't want to tell. about Stella May
hew. and my coming out OF school I
didn't tell that. And right here let me
say how glad was to get back to this
school-a real school-so different
from that one up In Andersouville! /!
Fog that matter. everythlnx's different
here from what II is In Andersonville.
I'D 90 much rather be Marie than
Mary. I know I won't ever be DIR.
Jekyil and Mr.. Hyde here. I'll be the
good one all the time.
It's funny how much easier Il In to
be good In silk stockings and a fiuffy
white dress than IL is in blue gingham
and calfskin. Oh. I'll own up that
Marie forsets sometimes and says
things Mary used to say; like calling
Olga a hired girl instead OF mnid. as
Aunt Hattie wants. and saying dinner
instead OF luncheon at noon. md some
other things.
! heard Aunt Hattie tell Mother one
day that Il was going to take about
, the whole six months 20 break Mary
Marie Of those outlandIsh country
ways OF hers ESQ. you see. II Isn't all
honey and pie even for Marie. This
trying to be Mary and Marie, even six
months apart. isn't the easiest thing
ever WASH don't think Mother liked
II very well-whnt Aunt Hattie said
about my outinndish ways. I didn't
hear all Mother said. but knew by
the way she looked and acted, and the
little did hear. that she didn't care
for that world '-outiandlsh" applied to
her little girl--not at alI.
Mothers q dear And she's so hap
py! And, by the way. think II is the
yiolinist. He's here lot, and she's
out with him to concerts and plays,
and riding In his automobile. And
she always puts on her prettiest
dresses, and she's very particular
about her shoes. and her hats. that
they're becoming. and NIL that. oh, I'm
30 excited! And I'm having such a
good time watching them! Oh. don't
mean watching them In a dlsagreeable
way. SO that they see II; and. Of
course. have to get all CANTOR the
book, you know: and. OF course. n !
Just happen to be I'm the wind0w-sent
corner In the library and hear things
accidentally, why. that's all right.
And ! have heard things.
He says her eyes are lovely. He
likes her hest In blue. Hc'surery lone.
ly. and he never found woman he.
fore who really understood him. He
thinks her soul and his nre tuned to-
the same string. (Oh. dear! That
sounds funny and horrId. and not at
all the way II did when he said IT, II
was beautiful then. But--well. that
Is what It meant. Anyway
She told him she was lonely. too.
and that she was very glad 10 have
him for friend: and he said he priced
her friendship above everything else In
the world. And he looks at her. and
follows her around the room with his
eyes; and she blushes up real pink
and pretty lots Of times when he comes
Into the room.
Now. II that Isn't making love to
each other. don't know what is. I'm
sure he's going to propose. Oh. I'm
so excited!
OH yes. know II he does propose
and she says yes. he'il be my new IA.
ther. understand that. And. Of
course. I can't help wondering how
IN like II. Sometimes I, think won't
like II at all. Sometimes I almost
catch myself wishing that didn't have
to have any new father or mother. I'd
never need a new mother. anyway, and
l wouldn't need q new father II my
father.by y-orier-of- -the-court would be
as nice as he was there two or three
times In the observatory.
but. therei After all, must remem-
ber that I'm not the one that's doing
the choosing. It's Mother. And II she
wants the yioIinist mustn't have any
thing to say. Besides. really like him
very much. anyway. He's the best Of
the lot I'm sure Of that. And that's
something. And then, Of course. I'm
glad TO have something to make this
love story. and best of all / would be
glad to have Mother stop being d.
vorced. anyway.
Mr.. Harlow doesn't come here any
more. guess. Anyway. haven't seen
him here once since came back; and
l haven't heard anybody mention his
name.
Quite lot Of the Others are here.
and there are some new, ones. But the
viOllnist II here mort and Mother
seems to 60 out with him most to
pisces. That's why say I think It's
the violinist.
haven't heard from Father.
Now just my writing that down that
way shows that expected to hear
from him. though, don't really zee
why should. either. OF course, he
never has written to me; and. Of
course. understand that I'm nothing
but his daughter BY order Of the court.
But, some way. ! did think maybe he'd
write me just q little bit Of Q note In
