XII.

(Wednesday, June 4.)

SHE--Madison 7-9-3-1-y, please. Is that you, dearest? Oh! Carroll, I'm

all so topsy-turvy I don't know what I'm doing. But I just couldn't go

to bed without talking to you again.

HE--You know I'm glad.

SHE--And I----Oh! I'm so full of joy I can't wait for tomorrow to come.

Doesn't it seem like a dream to think of our being married? It's all so

strange, and yet I'm so happy! You don't think me unwomanly for telling

you so, do you, dearest? I'm so frightened, and yet my heart is

beating--trip--trip--for you. Can't you hear it?
