We waited for an evening when sever al aunts and what not were visiting at the house. The family usually sat in the back parlor lookihp put on the little conservatory, while JenEs received her visitors in front. AS 8 rule the sliding doors were open; when George came, they were shut. Jennie's broth CT arranged wires to the handles of the doors, and, on the day in question, stood by one line, he by the other. George had arranged a signal,
 stAs it happened, one of the aunts was talk ing about Jennie and the men attentive to her, when we heard the signal. The sliding doors opened with a rush, and the whole family looked in upon most touching scene. George had one knee to the ground, and Jennie was smoothing his hair away from his forehead, just ready, SO 1t looked, to give him a chaste farewell salute. There was hush, cry from Jennie and the doors clapped to again. The aunts did not know but that the theatri- cal scene was an odd method of announcing her engagement devised by Jennie. They certainly did not appreciate the agonies she was suffering. George rushed from the house and according to previous arrangement, in- formed several gossips of the engagement. The next day Jennie had mail as long as your arm, all congratulations on her engage ment, and had to submit with good grace. That is the way George got her"

Some people call her Q steel-trap, and think he is caught. He want ed her and no one else-and be has enough ten- derness for two. But see l all the regular players are gone the devil is at rest among the tailors in their box and the waiter is nod. ding in his chair. Let us be 0ff."
