ONE MONTH LATER

Well, I've been here another whole
month, and it's growing nicer all the
time just love it here.
And Mother is happy, I'm sure she
is. Somebody is doing something for
her every moment-seems so. They
are so glad to get her back again. 1
know they are. l heard two ladies
talking one day, and they said they
were. They called her "Poor Madge,"
and Dear Madge," and they said 1t
was a shame that she should have
had such a wretched experience, and
that they for one should try to do ev-
erything they could to make her for
get.
And that's what they all seem to be
trying to do-to make her forget.
There isn't a day goes by but that
somebody sends flowers or books or
candy, or invites her somewhere, or
takes her to ride or to the theater
or comes to see her, SO that Mother
is in just one whirl of good times from
morning till night. Why, she'd just
have to forget. She doesn't have any
time to remember. / think she Is for
getting, too. Oh, of course she gets
tired, and sometimes rainy days or
twilights ! find her On the sofa in her
room not reading or anything, and her
face looks most as 1t used to some
times after they'd been having one OF
their incompatibility times. But ]
don't find her that way very often
and it doesn't last long. So I really
think she is forgetting.
About the prospective suitors--l
found that prospective sutton" in a
story a week ago, and l just love it.
1t means you probably will want to
marry her, you know. use it all the
time now-in my mind-when I'm
thinking about those gentlemen that
come here (the unmarried ones).
