II think nothing OF the kind. I
think Karl is very fond Of you. But

Evidently he knows you as you
are. in a measure, for you have not
scrupled to show your temper, your
egotism and your selhshness to him.
Under the circumstances, why
pick on him now about an old love
that should be allowed TO die, If it

you know that I am very much in

forty fortunes much bigger than his.

young lady's fancy popularity is
supposed to veer lightly to ro-

That is the gist Of a poll just

maids by the agricultural educa-

County farm bureau.

missionaries on elected careers,
only sixty-eight definitely desired
marriage.
