After all, what was there for us?

Which is the greater trngedy never to know anything, to be content with a miserable, narrow existence, only dimly conscious tha there is something better beyond the rim of the horizon or to know what there is beyond, yet not able to get it? Sometimes I think it is the greater tragedy to know the possibilities of life, and not to have them. At least then, one's appreciations are greater. Before, I had known nothing; I had even, in some way, been content. Now I knew. I knew the things that I had missed. I knew even, the things that I might yet attain in life if I only had the chance to stay on here and work for them. All the week T packed our clothes, and almost cried as I put one article after another into the trunks. I stored away my pretty fur I never had dared to confess to Esther that I had been so extravagant. I nut in the trunk the summer clothes I had made for us both, frightened at w'mt Esther would ?av about their frivolitv. T took alone the silk dresses we both had in the Winter. They were to be

Since the wedding is to be very informal and the bride is to wear a. suit, vou should not wear an evening dress. Rlark is not appropriate for a wedding. I would advise you to wear a suit or an afternoon gown. Doubtless th bride. will wear a hat with her suit and so it would be all right for you to do so, too.

It. will surely be embarrassing to get rid of a boy who caiches up with you vnd walks along. I can not see what, harm there would be in his accompanying you, if you walk straight home and do not loiter on the way. Of course you should never wait around so that a boy can walk with you. Probably the only thing for you to do is to say that your mother docs not want anyone to walk with you.
