Death. At any rate there's not much
to look forward to except the - setting
sun at 60. is there?

Let's ask Mrs. Ruby Lafayette Cur-
ran about. that.

She used to be an actress. From
coast to coast. she trouped 'with
theatrical companies. Shouts and

murmurs and wild applause were all
inhcr share of the day's profile.
One sees a lot of life in the troup—
ing business and the more one sees of
life the faster it seems to flow by. It
wasn't long before Ruby Lafayette

baking and their dish-washing. All
that the neighbors knew about her
Mas . antenna she had. .been - an
actress and now she was the neatcst
housekeeper in town.

The girl that once swept through
the curtains to thrill and bow to the
tumult of an audience was now a
white-haired woman content occa-
sionally to peer through the curtains
and wonder when the White Rider
.would come up the road.

She didn't enter into the social life

Two years ago she went to Califor-
nia. to see a. grandchild. Movie di-
rectors saw in her a. wonderful
“mother type." Rather reluctantly
she consented to appear before the
camera. ‘ .

Then she saw herself on the screen.

No! : Eighty and time to start to

Let's ask Mrs.

LETTER V FRdM MRS. JOSEPH
GRAVES HAMILTON. T0 11133
PROSPECTIVE SON-IN-mlw
JOHN ALDEN PRESCOTT

 

.MY DEAR BOY:

I feel that I know you well enough
to call you this, my dear John.. be-
cause my “little girl has done nothing
but talk of you since she came
home. ’ ‘ .

I confess that at first I was rather
disappointed. as well as doubtful as
to her marriage. with you. There
are so many young men here in her

have known ever since they were
children who. seemed to me.
would make a. most suitable match.

Besides. I hated to feel that when
Leslie married-she would go to an-
other city; but of -course I Fave
lived long enough to know that when
love speaks. we fathers and mothers
must step aside.

I need not is” you. my dear John.
that my daughter Leslie is one of
the sweetest girls in all the world.
Of course. you realize, however. tfia't
she has never had any great responsi-
bilities. I have always been one of
those old-fashioned mothers that
think that a girl's youth should be
given to good times and happiness. it
possible. After marriage, responsi-
bilities come quickly enough. -

Leslie's father tells me that he has
heard very good reports of you from
some of hlsrfriends. In his Bfincss
man's colloquialism he said. "That
boy is a hustler and unless he gets
shunted on the wrong track. I think
he will make Leslie :1 good hus-
band."

I shall be very much pleased to
met your mother. my dear John. Of
course she will come on for the wed-
ding which. if it is agreeable to vou.
we have set for Saturday. the 22nd of
next month. That will give us just
six weeks to make the preparafions.‘

I don't know whether you know it.
but Leslie's father and I ran away to
be married. and I have always had a
little narrowing pang to think the

st important event of my life was

t the occasion of more ceremony.

I want both my daughters to re-
member their wedding day" not only
with great‘ioy. but with great pride.
Leslie has held in the hearts 6f the
younger set in Sharon is unique place.
Ever since her coming out party. I
think she has been the most popular
girl in the town. You should know.
John. that you have taken her away
from three or four of the ost cli—
gible and wealthy men' in all Penn-
sylvanin: consequently, I want all

giving her to you gladly and proud-
ly. and I want to make her wedding
on event in the annals of Sharon‘s
society.

We have decided that the wedding
shall take place at St. James with
full choir. There will be six or
eight bridemaids. You. of course

own town thugboth her father and] -

her friends to realize . that we ure- ‘

will chose your best man and _ any
of the ushers that you may wish to

be present. The others will be sup-
plied from among L‘esiie's youthful
admirers.

The wedding will take plat}: at high
noon. The bishop has kindly confi
sented to. ofliciate, assisted by the rec-
tor and. assistant rector of St. James
or course. your mother and any other.
of your friends will be entertained at
our home. the Country Club. and
Sharon's best hotel, for at least a
week before the wedding day as there
will be many parties for you both.

You and Leslie will ar‘Ffinge about
wedding trips. Or any other purely

personal details.

Yesterday, at a. luncheon given to
Leslie's friends, I made the an-
nouncement of your engagement. 1
am sending you a. clipping from the
paper. I shall keep you informed
from time to time of all our arrange-
ments. and if you have any sugges—
tion to make. I hope you will do so.

Sincerely yours.

Alice Carton *Humilton.
