 I'm very much interested in what you say about Ruth Ellington mar eyIng Walter Burke. I rather think tehe's going to be very happy. She's had one very disastrous experience, and that will give rather practical turn to her ideals of men and mar ria,6e. She never will expect as much again.

 Just why you don't like Ruth Burke never could understand. Is 1t because she has always proved herself so efficient, as well as such . rood friend to Leslie---or were you afraid she would tell Leslie some of Snen's frailties as she knew them?
 I know if I were woman and had been married to a man like Harry Ellington, I would have fallen for . man like Walter Burke imme- diately.

 Why not change the Genii into 3 pig and put him out in the pig pen?" Raggedy Andy asked. Then he couldn't bother anyone""
