Just you say you have left it on the women-folks to settle the wedding"
 MT. Clark recsived hls orders meekly. He hoped he would not be called upon to combat the eloquence of Mrs. Ie Roy. He doubted that he could hold out against it, unless his wifs were by to back him. He sighed. He hated to see Eliza fretted. It was his nature to take things as they came, but it was certainly not hers. But he had never seen her so completely upset as she was now.
 Some mothers would have been elated at the prospect of daughters marrying above her, as the phrase goes, but of these was not Mrs. Clark. She was sat isied with her own station in life. She preferred to keep to her own ways, and that other people should keep to theirs. She felt that she was as good as any body else, and she did not desire to be thrown with people who held a contrary opinion.
 The next morning came pleasant, cordial note from Mrs. Le Roy, asking the Clarks-father, mother, daughter -to tea with her that evening.

 George walked home with Eddie tn husband and wife were together.
 "I've done it." Mir. Clark said, des perately, as soon as they were fairl started. "She was too much for me I couldn't help it."
 " You didn't agree that perfect stran ger should give away Eddie ?''
 "Yes, I did. After all, what matte does it makef Anyway, it can't b E helped now; and it's nothing but form anyway" B
 "Our only child F groaned Mrs Clark, with tears. Her heart was yer sore. At that moment she would ia rather Eddie had been going to marr Joe Thompson, clerk in ..her father store, who had been in love with her fo
