Dora Says I Wonder If I Will Ever Get Married

 Dear Readers,

My mother thinks I should never have attended Bryn Mawr College. She says only old maids do things like that. I've always been interested in archaeology, but naturally I would like to meet a young man, too. I haven't been out much. I've sailed a ilttle on the Delaware with young men from Haverford College. But my father insists that he wants me to meet someone whose father is in the auto business. You see, my father, Winthrop Benley, has made his fortune selling tires. He's the President of  Benley Tire and Rubber, one of the largest companies in the  United States, and it's headquartered here in Pittsburgh.

But who would I ever find like that? I've never met another young man whose father is in the same business. My father is dragging me to England to meet Sir Adolphus, but I hear he's already married. Besides, he's my father's age and much too old for me. After all, I"m only twenty years old. Besides, I wouldn't want to marry somebody who lived in England. Everybody I know is right here in Pennsylvania. And I'm an American through and through.

Sincerely yours,

Dora Benley
P.S. Maybe I will meet somebody on my transatlantic voyage on the Lusitania.
