A Misplaced Love
Letter
Who was it that put a love letter in the contribution basket at the last Mass at
Old St. Mary’s on Easter Sunday? There are only one or two who know, and they
won’t tell. Suffice it that ‘twas a very charming girl of striking brunette
beauty, a belle of two seasons whose name is never missing from the “among those
present” at the smartest affairs and one of the catches of the town. She was so
absorbed in her devotions when the contribution basket was passed that instead
of the envelope containing her Easter offering she dropped in a love letter.
When the good priests of the Paulist church discovered the mistake they hastily
returned the letter to its envelope without reading it of course. But enough had
been scanned to make it certain that it was a love letter. There’s a romance
here which will probably run its happy course in due time. The young lady can
have her love letter by applying for it. But will she go after it?
