AIter you hre se"'So, NC eaiui
'if the window is down ask me to
put it up. You had better ask in a
whining tone, and then I'll reply
very grufIly, oh, don't bother nee.
You are big enough to wait on your
self. If I'm reading, ask me numer-
ous questions. Every time you 90
so I'll either not reply at all, or else
speak very snappishly. But don't
mind what l say keep on botbering
me, and then I'll finally get up in
an angry mood and walk away and
get another seat. If We can carry on
that part successfully, people will
imagine we have been married long
enough to celebrate our tin we'd
ding"
eyes" said the bride, "that will do
vety ywell in the cars, but at the ho-
tells we can't pursue the same little
schemes. The hotels are what |
dread the most. We must have some
scheme for keeping the people there
from knowing that we are q newly
married couple"
ooh, said Burney, Chat will be
easy enough. Whenever we go out
I'll slip out one door and you slip
out the other. We can arrange a
meeting place far enough away to
keep the people at the hotel from
getting down to our scheme. And
then at the table instead Of noticing
me you'll be looking at every other
woman in the room. Remember, dear,
it is at the table where most couples
on their wedding tours attract the
most attention. We mustn't consult
each other about the bill of fare, and
we mustn't order the same dishes. I'll
leave you to shift entirely Tor your
self and you must appear not to con-
cern yourself about me. And, by
the way, yor mustn't dress like bride.
Yon mustn't wear any bridal inery."
ooh, dear, can't I wear that
lovely white bonnet Tn 2oing to be
married in ?"
mo, that will at onoe proclaim you
to be bride"
"But do want to wear my bonnet.
If I can't wear it on my wedding tour
| dent want the tour"
After considerable talk it was de-
cided that the bride could wear her
lovely white bonnet, but the bridal
veil was to be left at home,
Burney was married early in the
morning. and the happy couple were
at once whirled to the Broad street
station to take train for New York,
Their tickets were already purchased
and they passed direct to the cars.
"Now, remember" said Burney, aa
ne ssSted his wife, remember that
we are to act as old married people.
Don't forget to growl when SIT
down"
"Why don't you growl?" he said.
"Why, dear, I forgot what TO say"
"Hoah, not SO loud. Don't, what
ever you do, call me dear again.
That isn't tho language old married
people use when they address each
other"
1t was several minutes before the
train would start and Burney wanted
to saunter out into the depot and
come rushing back just as the train
was moving off. But the newlY-msde
bride wouldn't hear to any such ar
rangement. She was afraid that he
actually would get left.
1t wasn't until after the train start
ed that Burney and his bride showed
any of the actions of old married peo-
pie. When they did commence, how
ever, in their zeal to carry out the
spheme successfully they overdone
the matter, Three times lis wife
asked Burney to put up the window
and three times he gave her very sur
ly answers. The last timethe was SC
savage that the bride forgetting fol
an instant that his roughness was on
ly assumed, allowed the tears to spring
to her eyes. At this instant gen
tleman sitting in the opposite seal
arose, stepped over, put up the win
dow and then looking Burney fair il
the eyes, he said:
"Sir, you are brute. No mar
with the least spark of honor woult
act towards woman as you have
done to the lady sitting by your side.
