LETTER FROM MRS. JOSEPH
GRAVES HAMILTON TO MRS.
JOHN ALDEN PRESCOTT.
1y Dear Mrs. Prescott:

My Dear Mrs. Prescott:
expect you were quite as sur
prised when your son announced to
you that he was going to marry my
daughter, as was l when Leslie came
back from Albany and said that she
was going to wed your son.
After all, my dear Mrs. Prescott,
our children choose their own part
ners and companions in life and live
their own lives, do they not?
| expect you knOw-that John has
told you already-that we have de
cided the wedding shall be a church
affair, with a reception at our nome.
The ceremony will take place at high
noon and the reception from 3 until
o'clock. That will give the wedding
party time enough to return from the
church and arrange themselves in the
receiving line.
We shall be very glad indeed to
have you come to us three or four
days before the wedding, which will
take place the twenty-second of next
month. We are putting John up al
the Country Club, and will be glad
TO have YOU at our house or at the
Hotel Virginia, as you prefer The
last three days before the Wedding is
filled with social affairs for Leslie.
John will be mere, and I am sure that
you will enjoy the festivities
/ know. my dear Mrs. Prescott,
that YOU will love my little girl. Les
lie always has been a good daughter
to me- She is thoroughly modern In
every respect; intelligent, well read,
very pretty, stylish, and has an indi-
viduality which makes her stand out
from the others in whatever class OF
society she finds herself She Is frank
ness itself. and givE' promise of max
ing a splendid wife.
Hoping to hear from you soon, as
shall want to place you most com
forJably. Most cordially yours,
ALICE CARTON HAMILTON.

For she has learned that a pen

action of her husband. there runs
the following scenario:
a girl, quite madly in love, doubts
that her love is returned. She meets
another man and marries him upon
impulse.
She discovers, when the bonds Of
matrimony are forged, that her
first love was far more potent than
she had dreamed and that it is
growing stronger and stronger.
COnfesses to Diary
So she sets about to see Love No.
l whenever possible, meanwhile con-
Tossing her transgressions to the
diary. Her first love spurns her
and then. suddenly, she finds
motherhood near.
One day the diary is found by ner
husband and now, from present in
dications, she has lost both husband
and lover.
Thus runs the plot Extracts
taken from the diary tell it in Mrs.
Quinn's own words:
Jan. 3-Chris came this a m.
God knows I didn't want to let him
go because there is no telling how
long it will be before I see him
again.
Jan. 29-What cruel world it
seems. Does Chris love me? Could
he learn to? Can't have the love
Of the man I adore?
March S-Jimny is awfully nice.
I went TO church with him ana for
a ride. Jimmy wants to marry me.
Here's a kiss for Chris.
March 21-I have promised to
marry Jimmy. He is going to give
me the ring. We will go to Los
Angeles for our honeymoon.
May 11-WelI. dear diary, have
returned to you. I need you to con
sole me. Diary, fear I have made
a grave mistake. I married Jimmy

love. Had a wonderful time. He is
so different from Jimmy. Jimmy is
awfulIy good. I get everything I
want, but as long as Chris is in ex-
istence I don't know what I shall
do.
May 17-Chris has sent me back
my signet ring. o diary mine, my
head is breaking.
May Isl am so unhappy. Every
day I cry for hours. I want the
man I love. Won't Chris have me

child to keep me so thoroughly in

I should have known very little about
it. I expect it is Johns wedding,

I have read so far have been of such
a nature that old as 1 am, have
blushed

craze for notOriety Modesty used to
be the greatest jewel that could adorn

Prssy, that is why l have always
loved you SO dearly. l had always
hoped that on and John might care
for each other enough for me 10 call
you daughter, and l cannot help feel
that he is making a great mistake by
rushing headlong into this marriage.
I shall be in Sharon on the day
before the wedding and I wish you
would come and stay with nle at the
hotel until I leave for home. which
will probably be upon the twenty
third of the month?
I have written TO John TO send a
card or message of some kind to you
announcing his marriage formally. and
also asking him to have his bride-elect
cali upon YOU. Please write me when
she does this, exactly what you think
Of her because / rely greatly upon
your Judgment and opinion.

The glowing myths of lisping

And Lord of all, give wine and oil
And let no baby be forgot.
