ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.
The following answers to correspondents contain a great deal of useful information, and I publish them in order to avoid the constant annoyance of writing the same in substance to so many inquiring friends.
"Sweet Sixteen" writes from "Hold-up Hollow."
I am betrothed to a noble youth from Rice Lake, Minnesota, but he seems too have soured on his betroth.
"At first he seemed to love me according to Gunter, but he has grown cold. About the first of the round-up he went away, and I soon afterward heard that he was affianced to another.
"I understand that he says I am not of noble lineage enough for him. It is true. I may not be a thorough-bred, but I have a pure, loving nature, which is now running to waste. The name of my beloved is De Courtney Van D'Edbeete. He comes from the first families, and O, I love him so!
"Can you tell me what to do?
"Sweet Sixteen."
