suffering mother Of mins And, Mildred, you
can imagine mother vixen We got her out Of
bed and told her the news. Or. no. don't
think you can, because it was q complete
transformation. She grew young before my
eyes and just danced around the room, she
was so happy. And all the time Jimmie kept
saying, II always told you that Eileen had
enough sense to pick o.t the right man to
really marry
And all could add was, Mother, he's per-
feet. Why didn't see it before? Oh, think
of all the years have wasted"
And then father woke up and came to the
head Of the stairs and called down, Just what
is the celebration and can't you carry IT on
somewhere else or at some other time? It's
o'clock" And mother called back. Come
down. bath robe and all, for we have real
news for you"
And as father came down the stairs he said
sleepily, well. If it has to do with Eileen I
give up right away for it might be that she
found that purse she lost week or-Lord, don't
tell me that 1t is another mani" And he COL
lapsed foolishly half way down the stairs
Then Jimmie stepped forward, just the way
they do in plays and said so dramatically, BE
hold in me the last of Eileen's suitors and
with your consent and help, her only husband"
"All can add to that father answered, as
he shook hands with jimmie, lis that you
marry her tomorrow, rather today because
this is one affair that 1 am back of. heart
and soul"
And then, after mother and father had gone
upstairs, we had a few perfect moments to-
gether. And I made him promise that he
would always be three MN to me, father, a
brother and a lover, for that is the perfect
combination in a husband Jimmie when 1
wanted to be happy and gay, just the most
wonderful friend and companion in the world,
and James when I needed to be scolded for
buying too many shoes or hats, but never to
forget to be Jim every day. for" and this 1
confided to his coat cellar, when you're loving
me like this I'm the happiest woman In the
world
And when he kissed me goodnight I selt
like symphony suddenly come to life I only
hope you are as happy. We will be married
next month without single frill, for Jimmie
Is going to be the whole wedding as far as
am concerned. I'll try to write you more of
the details, or If can't feel sane enough to
do 1t will ask mother to tell you all. Good
ness, she feels almost though this were her
wedding, too. Poor darling how she has
suffered.
So very happy,
I never told you. did l. that Jimmie Is a.
chemist-and that won't call for any OF my
special talents or abilities, but then am going
to be so busy loving him that nothing else will
mattel
What do you suppose that most wonderful
man has stopped in to tell me? You know
when he spoke of honeymoon laughingly
said, Africa" just as joke, but he has been
thinking of it seriously and decided that II we
are married before the oath We can be with
you for your wedding Isn't he just too per-
feet? I am so dazzled and happy and thrifty
that am almost swooning with joy. Think of
me, Milly, matron of honor but write In
stantly and tell me what you want me to wear
and to bring for you. Oh, darling isn't life
almost too beautiful?-E
