This is a love story. It features all of the usual ingredients – a fellow who falls in love with the sister of his college roommate, a secret engagement, a lengthy absence, the feeling by the father that his daughter could do better that the one she picked, and finally a successful marriage. It was only natural that when the young soldier found himself working in St. Louis, he would visit the parents of his old roommate. He met his roommate’s eighteen-year-old sister, Julia.
