LETTER LXXXVII. From a Gentleman Proposing Marriage.

Ashleigh, February 17, 1914.
My Own Dear Alma:

You have so long been mistress of my heart that it is full time that you have my hand too. This may seem an abrupt beginning of my letter; but " out of the fullness of the heart the mouth speaketh." I have in no way deceived either you or your friends as to my present income and future prospects. If you think half as highly of me as I do of you, I am satisfied that your reply will assure me that at no distant day I will have the happiness of calling you "wife." In the future I shall strive in all honest ways to increase my means, and try to render myself in every manner worthy your esteem and love.

Hoping to have a favorable answer,

I am most affectionately yours ever,

Clement.
To Miss Alma Lovelace.
