"THE MAN I MARRIED!"

There was always something wrong with Tom, Dick, and Harry—but there was nothing wrong with Charles! states the writer. Charles was good-looking, not dangerously good-looking, but just darlingly so. Ho was quiet and he did not flirt; ho had a modest income and he was not extravagant, neither was he mean. Men liked him and he didn't let women flirt with him, and when I viewed Charles I said to myself, " What a paragon!" He was not keen on his food, and he did not tell me how beautifully his mother cooked. Ho had not been fussed over by a family of sisters, he had just been brought up very simply in a quiet way, and Charles had-gone on being quiet ever afterwards. He was ono of those unostentatious people who might achieve great things, and everybody would say, " Good gracious, why I never thought he'd do anything of 'the sort! Fancy him!" So I married Charles! Not for any of those reasons, though, because when you really do love, you don't weigh up the pros and cons; you just take what-comes and trust to luck. I loved him because he had tho most infectious smile in the world, and tho way he said " Lovely " when he was pleased was utterly ridiculous. And thero you are!
