Dora Wonders If She Is Cut Out To Be Lady Ware
Dear Readers,
Am I cut out to be Lady Ware? No one I have ever known has had a title. It would seem rather odd, and it certainly does not seem very American. But when I marry Edward I will be in line to become the next Lady Ware when he becomes Sir Edward Ware. His mother will then become the Dowager Lady Ware.
Can I hostess parties and have everybody curtsying to me and calling me "milady"? It sounds like a fantasy and not reality. But when I think of Edward heading for the Dardanelles where real battles are going on right now, it does not seem like a fantasy at all. It seems all too real, just as the Lusitania seems all too real.
Sincerely yours,
Dora Benley
