Three weeks later, the Jennys
made the trip down from up

car, containing two personal
maids and the lighter luggage,

A premature burst of spring
was already on the heels of a
languid winter, so that much

so much in the way of attention
from boys that the latter can
hardly be blamed for falling
down on engagements some
times. Do you expect this
young man to see you every

him to explain where he's been

when he's away from you? If
so. he has my sympathy. But if
you haven't done these things.
