pected you would care for any
woman who had promised to give
Jimmie the JOY you denied him. yet
I hardly thought that you, who had
not found marriage so happy your

other woman who had suffered.
1t may not be the sweetest Of news
to you, Mrs. Athepton, but I am glad
to tell you that your letter has made
Jimmie love me more than ever and
that we are to be married the mo-
