Lord Londonderry. persists in het determination to marry Alan Muts, fan alr pilot. Lord Londonderry wil for give his consent.
Deax Sir and Fellow-parent,—I, too, have known how sharper than' the serpent's tooth it is to have a thank: less child. My one ewe lamb Chrysalis, I had marked out as the wife of some distinguished savant, but the child has formed an attachment with a young male who, I understand, is engaged in the national work of sun-bathing during the day and attending the cinema during the evening. He Is described by my erring daughter as "bone from the teeth up, but such a dear."
Having, however, some worldly knowledge, in spite of my degree of Lift, D. and my preoccupation with Texicographic and etymologic matters send under separate cover monograph on the "Uses and Abuses of the Gerundive Participle"), T have refrained from any declaration that the favoured youth is not entirely compos mantis, and particularly that her attachment is against the wishes of the family, as the female tem-erament is so constructed that any Such intimation would immediately convince Chrysalis of the necessity for defying the family. Having informed her that in my opinion he is very estimable young man, of re-Spectable parentage, and that the only thing against him is that with his mentality he will hardly be in a position to buy cinema tickets and Chocolates for a wife within about 35 years, if ever, I can see that I have shaken her.
However, I say to her, "Go ahead, my dear, and marry him!"
She now suspects that I wish to get rid of her at any cost.
