WIDDEMER, MARGARET (MRS ROBERT HAVEN SCHAUFFLER). I’ve married Marjorie. *$1.75 (3c) Harcourt
20–13699
Married in haste, Marjorie Ellison has had ample leisure to repent while her soldier husband has been away in France. Now on the eve of his return she is badly upset at the thought of the reunion. When Francis comes, it is as bad as she had feared. With the best intentions on both sides, he frightens her, and she hurts him. Hot tempers and strained nerves almost complete a tragedy of separation. But Francis is really in love with Marjorie and so he ventures on an experiment before giving her up entirely. In a delightful spot in the Canadian woods, his scheme is tried out, a scheme which leads through storm and stress to final joy and happiness for both.
“This will be liked by young girls and many women, though some readers will find it light and sentimental.”
