"'Oh, Dan it is the most fascinating thing in the world. In four
months I may be standing at the altar, dressed in filmy white,--I

husband to pet, and chum with,--I am awfully happy, Dan, honestly I am.'

mushiness. But he thought it was becoming to me. He said I got
prettier every day. I would not even let him touch my hand any more.

allowed little privileges like that. Now it was all off. Dan might
rave and Dan might storm, but I stood firm. He could not touch my
hands! I was consecrated to my future husband.

"'The principle is just the same.' Then I would dimple up at him.
