Expressions That May Be Overheard Again an
Again at Nuptial Events.
From the New Orleans Democrat.
The following remarks have mostly been sal
time after time at all our tony" weddings, an
will be said again and again on every such occs
sion:
Here she comes!
Pretty, isn't she?
Who made her dress?
Is it Surah silk or satin?
Is her veil real lace?
She's as white as the wall!
Wonder how much he's worth?
Did he give her those diamonds
He's scared to death!
Isn't she the cool piece?
That trains hOrrid shape
Isn't her mother dOwdy?
Aren't the bridesmaids hOmely?
That's handsome usher.
Hasn't she a cute little hand?
Wonder what number her gloves are?
They say her shoes are fives.
II his hair .sn'. Pc i,,;Gsrucu IN the middle!
wonder what on earth she married him for?
For his money, OfcOurse!
Isn't he handsome?
He's as h0mely as hedgehog!
He looks like circus-clown!
No. he's like dancing master!
Good enough for her, anyway.
She was always stuck-up thing.
She'll be worse than ever now!
