I'm a Baptist myself, but a girl's religious belief wouldn't matter. Yes. a Mormon girl would do as well as any other, if she's of the right sort. NEVER DRINKS BOOSE. "I have never been drunk in my life. I'm strictly sober. I'll tell you how It Is. My mother died when I was 14 years old, and two days before her death I promised her that I would never sell or drink boor.c. I've knocked around ever since then and I've kept my promise. prom-ise. My stepmother and I didn't get along flrBt-class. and that was partly why I struck out. I came here from Spokane. Wash., and this looks to mo to be about as good a place as any I've seen to yettlc down in. If I can get the right kind of a wife I'll try mlghty hard to make her a good husband." |
