Show "" " A ROMANCE SPOr.ED. Moral Is That Toung Woiiu-n Khnnltl Ileal Illncreetly with Their I'lunres. A charming romance has come to light over in the unromantio city of Brooklyn. It appears thut not long ago a teucher iu one of th.3 schools for children set them to writing compositions, of which she herself was to be the subject that is, the scholars wero told they might write out their impressions of their teacher. 1 One of these essays, of peculiar literary excellence for a small child, drifted, in , some way, into one of tho Brooklyn pa-: pa-: pers, which in its turn fell into the hands of a young dentist iu one of the growing towns in Montana. Tho description of the teacher's charms so captured his fancy and fired his imagination that he was moved to write a letter, addressed to her in care of tho paper which published pub-lished the composition. In due time the letter reached her hands. She answered it, and a brisk correspondence soon sprung up, with an exchange of photographs photo-graphs and confidences, which resulted iu the formation of an engagement. ' The marriage date was set, and shortly before tho month containing the wed- 1 ding day arrived the young dentist received re-ceived a letter from his fiancee, in which sho said that she had one moro important fact to reveal to him, namely, that while her picture represented her as being a young woman of some personal charms, she considered it only frank to tell him that her beauty was marred by very defective de-fective teeth, which, she naively added, could easily be repaired after their marriage mar-riage without any great expense. Whether the young woman's physical defect or her business euteqiriso destroyed de-stroyed the young man's ideal is not definitely def-initely known, nor is it really known at present that the marriage is positively declared off, but it certainly dtx'S look as if it were, for three times since the receipt of that letter has the skittish young dentist written to postpone the ceremony, and the young woman is consequently con-sequently obliged to keep altering the fashion of her wedding gowns in order that her trousseau may very properly represent the latest modes a privilege which every bride is certainly entitled to. This fable teaches, or should teach, that a young woman should manage her matrimonial arrangevients with discretion discre-tion as well as with frankness. New York Evening Sun. |
