sense and happiness. You must tell me if these things interest you before next month, when I will write again. Because now I must end this letter. Your affectionate Godmother, E. G. IV FEBRUARY, 1913. I am so glad, my dear Caroline, to hear that you were interested in my last letter. It is an important subject--marriage--and one I want more fully to discuss with you. No one accomplishes any rôle successfully without some preparatory training--and the rôle of a married woman requires a good deal of thought bestowed upon it before it should be undertaken. As I said in my last epistle, the affair is a bargain, in which too often the modern young people refuse to recognize any of the responsibilities. Let us, for the sake of our argument, suppose, Caroline, that you have fallen in love with, and married, what appears to be a suitable young man in fortune and character. We will pretend that he is the eldest son of some one of importance, and in his turn one day will occupy a great position.
