The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1883-10-24

song She was determined TO be married in
Church. and 20 have SIX trademarks and
SIX bridegroems, and flowers and music
and things till you couldn't rest. The
only thing that troubled her was making
up Der mind who 10 invite. Mother
wanted her 10 invite Mr.. and Mrs. Mead
den aud the seven McFadden girls, but Sue
said they had insulted her, and she couldn't
bear the idea af asking the McFadden tribe.
Everybody agreed that old Mr.. Wilkinson,
who once came 20 party at our house with
one boot aud one slipper. couldn't be invit-
ed; but IL was decided that every one else
that was on good terms with our family
should have All invitation.
Sue counted up all the people she meant
10 invite,and there was nearly three hundred
OF them. You would hardly believe il, but
she told me that must carry around all the
invitations and deliver them myself. OF
course couldn't do this without neglectinS
my studies and losing time, which is always
precious, so thought OF plan which would
save Sue the trouble of directing three hun
dred invitations and save me from wasting
time in delivering them.
got to work with my printing press, and
printed dozen splendid big bills about the
wedding When they were printed cut lot
OF small pictures of animals and ladies riding
on horses out of some OLD circus bills and past
ed them on the wedding bills. They were per
fectly gorgeous. and you could see them in
good places all over the village
The next afternoon father came into the
house looking very stern and carrying one
OF the wedding billsin his hand. lie hand
ed il 10 Sue and said Susan, what does this
mean2 These bills are posted all over the vii
lage. and there are crowds eff people reading
them" Sue read the bill. and then she gave
an awful shrek and tainted away, and /
hurried down TO the postoffice 10 see If the
mail had come in. This is what was on the
wedding bills and am sure it was spelled
all right:
Miss Susan Brown announces that she will marry
Mr.. James Travers
at the Church next Thursday at half past seven
sharp
All the FTien DIS of the Family
With the exception OF
the McFadden tribe anil old Mr.. Wilkinson
are invited
Come early and bring
Lots OF Flowers.
Now what was there to find fault with in
that? IL was printed beautifully, and every
word was spelled right. with the exception.of
the name OF the Church, and / didn't put
that in because | wasn't quite sure how to
spell IT, The bill saved Sue all the trouble
of sending out invitations. and it said every
thug that anybody could want to know
about the wedding Any other girl but Sue
would have been pleased, and would have
thanked me for my trouble, but she was as
angry as if had done something real BAH.
Mr. Travers was almost as angry as Sue. and
II was the first time he was ever angry with
me. ] am afraid now that he won't let me
come and live with him. He hasn't said a
word about my coming since the wedding
bills were put up. As for the wedding, it
has been put of, and Sue says she will go to
New FORK 10 be married. for she would per-
iectly die if she were to have wedding at
home after that boys dreadful conduct
What is worse, am to be sent away to
boarding school, and all because made a
mistake in printing the wedding bills with
out first asking Sue how she would like to
have them printed
