thought of it several times myself and had to
dismiss the thought and do adore the water
so that hate to go on the beach with any one
I have to apologize for So I couldn't help
saying very angrily, Just because you look SO
stunning yourself in a bathing suit, is all the
more reason why you shouldn't make fun Of
others less fortunate James Pearson" And
then could have bitten of my tongue for let
ting him know that I thought he was stunning
in anything. But it was the truth and for
the rest of the evening I couldn't get the pic
ture OF Jimmie and Joe in bathing suits out of
my mind, and the contrast SO glaring, be-
cause Jimmie is just part of the beach, whereas
Joe would have looked as though he had gotten
there by mistake

officer, and give me all the details for 1 can't

Oh, Miny
| DON'T believe I told you in my letter ages
ago, that I met my lecturer and mat I
made such a hit that he asked II he could
come that very night and see me. And now
I've been going to New York three or four
nights a week so that I can go around with
him to the different places where he lectures.
We have the most beautiful talks coming home
in the subway and train, although I can't
hear much that he says ON account of the
derful," "Oh, yes" and then I smile sweetly
It's very gradual smile. and knd-o lingering,
and then your eyes smile just as though you
thought he was the sweetest thing and it
always works, because Joe-that is If no one
is looking-takes my hand and squeezes it,
which is something he never does after my
most brilliant remarks.
TDo Weeks Later
How can I begin to tell you that few
nights ago Joe became romantic and started
to plan our future. He said that We would
have little apartment on the East Side con-
venient to his work, but in the next minute
when he mentioned that his mother, his dear
mother, would live with US, I felt my back
stiffen. I couldn't picture serving tea in a
tiny room with his mother at the head of the
table. There wouldn't be room for both of us
in any size room, because am sure that his
mother would object to my wearing a tea
gown. I've never met her but just feel sure
that she would draw Joe aside in the evening
and say something about it's not being nice
for his wife to wear anything like that Right
there could begin to see that his ideas and
mine are not alike on great many subjects.
Frankly, Milly. the lectures are beginning to
bore me and have decided that if ever do
give teas the last thing I will talk about will
be the French authors.
Midnight
1t all ended tonight. You see, Mil, I hap
pictures of the French authors. had imagined
the most romantic things, men in velvet or
satin breeches with ruff1ed blouse And now
all that can say IS that because of a scarcity
of BARRIERS it might have been all right to look
like that in those days, but since Barnum and
Bailey introduced those side shows men like
these authors sho',1d have little tent to them
selves. They wee just awful.
1t did show such poor taste on Joe's part to
waste his time studying about them and to
prove it to him I bought the latest copy of
Moving Picture Stars" and tonight showed
him few Of the men I thought really worth
while studying, all stunning and super-ro-
mantle looking. But, will you believe it, he just
couldn't see them at ALI He had nothing to
say and he didn't suggest coming for a week
end at Atlantic City, where mother and are
going for month or two.
Jimmie has been awfully decent and sympa-
thetic all along He even understood about the
trains and said that his wife could wear tea
gowns with train five long If she wanted
to. WASN'T that sweet of him?) Devotedy,

A TLANT1C CITY, February a.
y Milly, darling:
The minute I got out Of the train at At
lantic City I knew that something big was
going to happen, so I was prepared when at
dinner that night at the hotel suddenly
looked up and saw the most distinguished look
ing man staring at me. He had light curly
hair and the most wonderful eyes, and he must
have been about IS, and oh, so romantic look
hg. And when found that night that he was
doctor, well, was SGT thrilled and happy that
could hardly sleep. Ymet him the next day
and we just seemed to get on wonderfully right
from the start. He told me that he had just
come back from Mexico, which made him seem
so much more romantic.
In no time he was sending flowers up to my
room every day. think Of that, and every after
