A French Love Story.

Two wedding couples presented
themselves at the Mayoralty in q
suburb of Paris to carry out the
civil portion of their marriage con-
tract. They arranged themselves on
opposite sides of the mayors official
throne, and faced one another. The
mayor was asking a question of one
of the bridegrooms, whose attention
was thus distracted from his bride.
On turning round to look at her
when he had answered the question,
he caught her making Sleeps eyes
at the bridegroom opposite. Being
of jealous temperament he laid his
hand roughly on her arm and said,
sharply:
SMademoiselle, which of the two
birds are your You are mine, ]
believe !; then oblige me by confin-
ing your glances to me-
The bride was q young woman
of spirit, and, resenting the tone in
which the reprimand was made,
-retorted:
ssAh, monsieur, if you are Jealous
already, I am likely to lead pleas
ant life with youp
The jealous bridegroom made an
angry reply and then tie other
bridegroom must needs put his oar
in:
PAIL Monsieur, why should you
make such q fuss because Maiden
oiselle chooses to favor me with e
glance |?
Thereat his bride turned savagely
upon him and exclaimed: fla.
monsieur, it would seem, then, that
you like to have ladies make eyes
st you'll Now know what to ex-
pect from you but you might at
least had the deceDcy to keep this
proof of your faithlessness conceal
ed from me here
And with this fierce thrust she
burst into tears. In vain the mayor
attempted to pacify yoth parties.
The bridegrooms stormed at each
ether, and the brides between their
hystericsl sobs, mutually accused
each other of perfidy. What was
to be done7
At last the mayor, losing temper,
