of good looks. What some lack in beauty
they make up in wit, for it is seldom both
are found in very marked dtgree in one
woman, or man either, for that matter.
Miss Birdie Hull, whom everybody
knows who has ever visited The springs, Is
a general favorite here even among the
lady guests. A number of ladies are here
for the summer, and the list comprises some
of the finest in the state, among which may
be mentioned: Mrs. Campbell cFarlane,
St. Louis; Mrs. ]. 3. Read, Sedalia; Mrs
Max Rice, Kansas City; Mrs. Brown,
Monroe City; Mrs. Smiles, Kansas City;
Miss Annie May Fox, Paris, Mo-; Miss Ida
Bailey. Monroe City; Mrs Keller, Lexington,
Mo, Mrs. Price, Weston, Mo-; Mrs Stoutslrees,
Kansas City; Mrs G. H. English, Kansas
City; Mrs. McHenry, St. Joe; Mrs. Thorn
as, Carthage; Mrs. Il. G. Vest and Mrs.
Barrett, of Sedalia. One may look long
time before finding list of nicer ladies.
Another source OF amusement TO the
quests is the semi-daily arrival of the stage
from the railroad station. The stage may
be seen some time before it reaches the
hotel entrance, and the first sight OF it is
heralded by some enthusiastic visitor, and
the tact is soon spread among the Others,
so that when the stage arrives the whole
number are assembled on the corridors 10
welcome the newcomers. The Italian band
strikes up with its strains of delicious mu-
sic, the newcomer is recognized by some
one, and hearty hand shaking and intro.
duction follows in quick succession. II
the last arrival happens to be man well
known, the meeting is lively one, and
every one seems in a hurry to grasp his
hand; but should the new guest
be some obscure country editor
or only the proprietor of little
plumbing establishment in some small
village like Chicago he becomes the prey OF
the others, who tear him TO pieces, meta
phoric.lIy speaking, and digest him par
ticIe by particle. Some dude, who parts
his hair in the middle and wears pants
made on the pipe-stem plan, finds that his
diamonds are made of paste, and can be
had in any toy shop for thlrty-two cents a
gross. Some young lady whose clothe- are
made by Worth. and fit her as though she
were moulded and run into them. after a
critical examination discovers flaw on
his Immaculate shirt front, or that he uses
hair oil bought in country grocery store
The last arrival never fails to make SEN
sation of some kind, and partly the fault i!
his own. Ii he be very wealthy and
high toned man he comes up the steps a.
though he owned township and had biz
taxes paid in advance. If he be some pool
clerk from a country general store, come
down to stay a week, he shufies up the
steps in a timid, half-scared manner, a
though asking pardon for intrnding hi
worm-iike body into their majestic pres
ence. His first object is to see the LANDLORD

A REAL ROMANCE.
A Pleasant Story Surrounding the
Marriage of Two Loving
Young People.

Grace Cruikshank is not q very pretty
name. but was the name If very pretty
Scotch lassie.
Grace resided with her parents near
Elgin, Illinois. Last winter her health
was Door from long confinement and ardu-
Gus study at school. Her parents sent her
to Albuquerque, N. NJ, to visit friends and
for health, thinking that change of air
would benefit her.
She departed, and ere long letters we're
returned that she was improving. She
could climb the steep mountains and ride
the agile burro equal to any OF the old
mountain ladies'
A young gentleman appeared on the
scene about this time, as they generally do.
His name was NJ. ]. Mack, United States
deputy surveyor, and he put himself for
ward and sought Miss Grace in marriage.
He pressed his suit, and she, with that
modesty which 80 becomes an 'expectant
bride, was little ofish at first but finally
consented.
In May last Miss Cruikshank returned
to Illinois. She was met at the railroad
station, and before she had finished kissing
the family, she whispered in her older SIS
ter's ear, "I'm am going to be married"
Sister would not believe it until she had
shown her the engagement ring, her in
tended husbands photograph and q lock OF
his hair, which is of dark auburn color.
Thursday, Juns q, 1883, was the day Sc
lected for the celebration of the nuptials.
An elaborate and expensive trosseau was
purchased in Chicago, and many hands
made light work of the preparations as the
day for the wedding approached. A letter
came from Mr.. Mack saying that some
members of his family were at the point of
death, and it was impossible for him to
leave.
1t was finally determined that rs the off,
Ger could not leave his duties, Miss Grace
should 20 to New Mexico and meet her
lover there.
A few days ago two young ladies could
have been seen at the c. & A. depot, Chi
caso, securing checks for huge trunks TO
Santa Fe, n. N.
They were Grace Cruikshank and her
sister.
| A representative of the BAzoO cleaned
all this information from the expectant
bride, IS she vas whirled along in q pleas
ant Horton chair car, dividing her time
reading, eating bananas and looking at
the scenery which skirted the rivers and
ravines in Western Illinois and Eastern
Missouri.
NJ. ]. Mack and Miss Grace Cruikshank
were married yesterday at Santa Fe. The
u BAzoo trusts that their lives may be one
perpetual honeymoon.
