A Fashionable Bride,

The time appointed for the marriage
ceremony in the church was 5 o. clock ia
the afternoon. Borealis Brown, the
bridegroom, and Aurora White, the
bride were in a close carriage ten blocks
away at six minutes before 3.

would have felt just like dropping
through the floor. don't You know, II
she had walked up the aisle on time.
Don't you think, my dear, it would
be better to be ten minutes latep'' said
she, leaning against him In kind of a
harmless hug.

Give minutes, then?"
Now, my darling, don't coax"
''Just as you say
She put her hand carelessly on his
shoulder, and then let it drop slowly
along down over his coat to a small
pocket set in at the waist seam, where
it fingered for few seconds. ~
You have the ring where you can
find it readily" she remarked, laying
placidly back in her seat There is
nothing SO awkward as to tumble for
the ring at the altar, you know"

I told you," he said, confidentially. 81

He thrust his fingers into the pocket
madly, again and again, but the ring
surely was not there. He made wild

Aurora's residence. He ordered the
coachman to turn about. When they
had gone back almost to the house q

in that very spot two minutes ago.
"Well," he remarked, looking at his
watch again, '.you viii have your way
after all. We can't get to the church
before ten minutes late, anyhow"
ITO be sure"
Acute presence of mind Is character
istic of brides. They may blush, but
they know what they are about Their
eyes may be dim with tears, but they
can see a misplaced thread in their
dress. Two blocks from the church
Aurora expressed a fear that she was as
pale as ghost

He threw his arms around her, drew
her to his breast with the grip of a
