Page "belles_lettres" Paragraph 585

By the time Lilian had been graduated from public school, her parents were doing quite well.

Her mother was a good manager and established a millinery business in Milwaukee.

But her father was not enthusiastic about sending young Paula to high school.

`` This is no place for a young girl '', he said.

The parents compromised, however, on a convent school and Paula went to Ursuline Academy in London, Ontario.
