I have not lived to be over thirty, @ear Leslie, without realizing the ®errible risk a man runs when he @ries to be the deus ex machina in the married life of two people. These two people may be his dear- est friends, as Jack and you are mine. His impulse may be as mine is, only to creat =& better under- standing between them—to promote their happincss, and yet his judg- ment as to how to go about it may be a mistaken one. However, I am going to trust to my impulse and send you Jack’s let- ter. I do not think it needs much pomment. I must, however, give you a fow of a man’s reactions to it. Other- wise, I am afraid that after reading it you will be as much in the dark about Jack's personality as you arc now. In the first place, Jack's letter was written to a man—a man who had | known him intimately all his life— a man had been his through good and evil report, a man who knew him so well that he could not lle to him, a man who loved him Leslie who i Evening Pumps Like Sandals The mew pumps elaborate and sketched come 1 the evening cost trimmed with gold kid.
