Tell her, when you tell her anything at all, the exact truth. Be very
careful about this. Tell her particularly about your money affairs. Your
happiness depends more on food and clothes than you are now able to
understand. But if you put in solid blocks of truth for the basement,
the finer developments of your life will join on with precision and
effect. I know a young man who went in debt for a fine span of horses
and wagon. His bride supposed they were his own, and he "let her
suppose."
