Mr. Winton arose. "'Come to me arms,'" he laughed, spreading them wide. "I
wonder if Douglas Bruce knows what a treasure he is going to possess!"
"Certainly not!" said Leslie emphatically. "I wouldn't have him know for
the world! I am going to be his progressive housekeeping party, to which
he is invited every day, after we are married, and each day he has got a
new surprise coming, that I hope he will like. The woman who endures and
wears well in matrimony is the one who 'keeps something to herself.' It's
my opinion that modern marriage would be more satisfactory if the engaged
parties would not come so nearly being married, for so long before they
are. There is so little left for afterward, in most cases, that it soon
grows monotonous."
"Leslie, where did you get all of this?" he asked.
