A Lancashire lady has been relating
a rather pretty story about u. factory
girl's way of answering a marriuge pro
posal made to her, says Pearson's
Weekly.
"The ouug woman could nut write
or read writing, und one day she
brought a letter to me to read for her.
It contained an offer of marriage.
"I happened to know that the writer
was a deserving young artesian, so 1
said to her: 'Now, you must consider
this mutter very seriously, und If you
like to come to me and when you have
inude up yutiriiilnd 1 will reply for you.'
"A day or two afterward I met the
girl again and asked ber If she wanted
me to answer Hie letter for her. "Oh.
I lint is all right.' said she, looking rad
iant and pleased. 'I've settled it. 1
answered It myself.'
" 'SVhy, how did you do It?' I atfctd
"And then she told lue tllut she could
make a capital 'I,' and that she stuck
on the paper a piece of wuol after It for
'wull' '! wool.' "
