Show Young Betts had just told his mother of his engagement to a charming young woman who was not blessed with much of this world's goods, and he met with immediate objection. "Now, mother dear," said the young man, "don't be angry with me for falling in love with her. Besides, you were a poor girl when you first met father." "Yes," replied Mrs. Retts, "so I was.
