Soc ought 10 have besn married Q
long While ago. That's what everybody
says as knows her. She has been en-

have wanted Der 20 get married, % l
could 90 and live with her and Mr..
been for q mistake made she would
have been married yesterday. ind Il
dreadfuliy hard to be resigned. Bat
We ought always TO be resigned to every
thing when we can't help IT, Before
90 any further | rnnst tell about my
printing press. Il belonged TO Tom Mo
Ginnis. and he got tired of II and sold
1t 70 me real cheap He Was going 70
write 70 the "Young People's' POSSIBILITIES
and offer TO exchange il for bycicIe, q
81. Bernard dog, and twelve good books,
bat be finally let me have IL for a dollar
and half. Il prints beautifully, and l
have printed cards for ever 30 many
people. and male three dollars and
seventy cents already. | thought il
would be nice to be able 70 print circus
bills in case Tom and I should have
another circus, 90 vent 10 the city and
brought some type morenaninch high,
and some beautiful yellow paper.
Last week il was agreed that Sue and
Mr.. Travers should be married without
waiting any longer. fou should have
seen what state of mind she and
mother were in. They did nothing hut
buy new clothes. and sew and talk about
the wedding all day long. Sue was de-
termined to be married in church, and
% have six bridesmaids and SIX bride
grooms, and flowers. and music, and
things till you couldn't rest. The only
thing that troubled her vas making mp
her mind Who to invite. Mother wanted
to invite Mr.. and Mrs. McFadden and
the seven McFaddep girls, bat Sue said
they had insulted her, and she couidn't
bear the idea Of asking the McFadden
tribe. Everybody agreed that old Mr..
Wilkinson, who ence came 70 q party at
our house with one boot and ono slip
Der, couldn't be invited; bat 1t was de-
cided that everyone elss that was on
good terms with the family should have
an invitation. She counted up all the
people she would invite, and there were
nearly three hundred of them. You
would hardly believe il but she told me
/ must carry around all the invitatiOnG
and deliver them myself. VI course
could not do this without neglecting my
studies and losing time, which is al
ways precious, 80 | thought CT plan
which would save Sue the trouble OF di-
recting three hundred invitations and
save me from wasting time delivering
them. got TO work with my printing
press and printed dozen splendid zig
bills about the wedding. When they
were printed cut a lot of small pic
lures of animals and ladies riding on
horses out of some old circus bills and
pasted them on the wedding bills. They
were perfectly gorgeous, and you could
see them four or five rods of. When
they were all done made some paste in
tin pail and went oot after dark and
pasted them in good places all over the
village. The next afternoon father
came into the house locking very stern
and carrying one of the wedding bills
in his hand. He handed il 70 Sue aud
said: "Susan. what does this mean
These bills are pasted all over the vii.
lage, and there are crowds Of people
reading them" Suc red the bill, AND
thea she gave an awful shrek and
tainted away, and / hurried down Il
the postofiice TO see IL the mail had
come in. This il what was on the wed
ding bills, and am sure it was spelled
all right:
Miss Susan Brown announces that sh,
will marry Mr.. James
Travers
at the Church next Thursday at half
a - -
All the Friends Of the Family
with the exception of
the McFadden tribe and old Wilkinson
are invited.
Come early and bring
Lots of Flowers.
Now, what was there to find faul
with in that? Il WAS printed beautiful,
and every word was spelled right, will
the exception of the name of the church
and didn't put that in because WASH
quite sure how to spell it. The bill
saved Sue all the trouble of sending on
| invitation Q, and IL said everything tha
anybody could want to know about th,
wedding. Any other girl but Sue woul,
have been pleased; and would hav
thanked me for all my trouble. bat sh'
was as angry az IL had done something
real bad. Mr.. Travers was almost a
angry as Sue, and il was the first tim
he was ever angry with rue. | an
afraid NOW that he won't let me eve
come and live with him. He hasn'
said word about my coming since th
wedding bills we're put mp. As for th
wedding, II has been put of. and Su
says abe will go TO New York TO be maj
ried, for abe would perfectly die IL sh
were to have a home wedding after tina
boys dreadful Conduct. what ia wors<
l am TO be sent away to boarding schoo
and all because ] made q mistake il
printing the wedding bills without frs
asking Sue how she would like to hav
them printed.
