Are newly-married people bash
fulg"
That depends. The widowers and
widows don mind il, but the young
people are n little coy. Al Niagara
Falls we had most OF the new couples
late in the season, when the regular
boardcrs had left. ! have seen n many
as a dozen at a time file into the dlniag-
room. irving TO look rs If they had not
been married YESTERDAY, but casting
furtive g~lances about 10 see If they were
suspected. The men were specially
watchtul lest somebody should be
oyiing tie brides. One day | thought
we should have a fight in the dining
room. A strapping big fellow from the
West in a new suit of store clothes sat
down To the table with his bride. a buN-
um brown-eyed beauty. She looked : %
fresh and rosy that she could not hut
attract attention, and she got it. Every
gentleman in the room took more han
one LOOK at her. and she knew il. OF
course she did not object. lut the man
began to get angry. He did not like to
speak to the bride about il, because she
was evidently not displeascd. Finally
he got up and walked To the nearest
gentleman whom he had observed and
said:
look here, stranger, I'd like TO
know what you are staring at my wife
tor??'
..Your wife, Allow me To congrat-
ulate YOU, my dear fellow. You have
got the finest wife in the city, said the
gentleman addressed. The fact is. |
thought she was your sister. Excuse
me il I was rude; but if you don't want
people to look at your wife, you really
must never take her out in public. No
oifense meant, sir
The bridegroom went back TO his
place. but he took good care at the next
meal to put his wife with her face to
the wall"
(which do you think take to the new
conditions most gracefully"
women by all odds. The men are
always betraying themselves. They
want to talk about it; they are full Of
the subject. Women are more artfuL
and have more adaptsbility to new cir
cumstances. But with all their arts,
they can't deceive the old hotel clerk,
and it is very seldom that we don't turn
in a few dollars extra To the house on
account Of our knowledge"
Another popularity of the newly
married couples who go to hotels. con-
tinued the clerk, lis that many Of them
live in the city. They always come
equipped for a long journey. They
have left the wedding guests with the
announced intention of taking a long
journey. conspicuously displaying, per-
haps, their railroad tickets. and have
been driven by way Of the depot to a
first-class hotel previously selected. l
knew of one case where a bridal couple.
to avoid detection. actually boarded n
train and started apparently on a jour
ney. but took at the next station = train
back to the city. and stopped at a hotel
q few blocks from home. Then the
wedding guests were permitted 20 stay
at the feast as long as they pleased.
without disturbing any body."-N. y.
