The most aiiable of afable hosts, Geffroy met
them and politely glided them into the reception
room, before they were aware it. They were
amazed at the pretty furniture. The gents were
taken below to register their names, and did so
as quickly as possible. As soon as this was done,
the clerk, Mr. John Hcnre, addressing this hus-
band of few hours, asked:

That was enough for the clerk, and he roomed
the party accordingly. AS in the cars, the party

They did not go alone. Alarge party went with

increased audience in consequence, many of
whom were more diverted with the bridal party

they arrived. The next day they were early off
for home, in high glee over their bridal tour
