not deter her in the least. Still we have got through four days of married life without open warfare, and I rather hope that we shall continue on an amicable basis. I'll admit to you confidentially that every day seems to make life sweeter and happier. It's not that I love more but that I am comprehending better how powerfully much I have loved and do love. Honestly, I'm just beginning to realize what an immeasurably lucky chap I am. Why, Daphne is so much better and finer than my "ideal" that I never expected to find that I still wonder at times if some one is going to shake me and tell me I've been imitating old Rip Van Winkle. And she - I do believe she is in love with her husband. She says so, and acts very much so. How wonderful it all is! We have done nothing much but revel in the delight of being together. When I am away, as I have to be most of the day Daphne has no one to take her places. She seems to be enjoying, nevertheless, the opportunity to sleep and read and write without a lot of pupils to bother her. That should be something of a vacation I should think. One night we went to the theater, but other times we have come home after dinner, I to study and Daphne to knit or read and be companionable. There is something I wish you would
