THE HEIGHT OF HER AMBITION.

Description of the Unalloyed Happiness
anu the Attire of q French-Canadian
Bride.
AT one of the smaller landings,
where the boat did not usually stop
unless signaled, a man was seer stand
ing ge%sticulating wildly. The Captain
came forward and with an amused ex-
preston of c~ountenance informed the
passengers that he knew from the ex-
cited state the Individual was in that a
wedding party was coming on board.
And his prognostication was DON verb
fed, for as soon as the boat touched the
landing q motley procession came
trooping down-old and young and
mlddle-aged, from the infant in arms to
the aged couple, who, John Anderson
like, were tottering down. The pro-
cession was headed by the bride and
groom, the latter looking excessively
uncomfortable and out of place in his
''dressed-up" condition; but the bride
presented a great contrast to her new
made lord; her dissatisfaction was SUI
preme. As the Captain remarked: eff
you really want to witness happiness
and contentment, you must see a
French Canadian bride from the rural
districts. She has attained to the
height of her ambition; she is at last
kdecked out in bridal ~tinerv." She went
ttraight for the saloon after coming on
board, and looked around a little ner-
m,pusly at first, then sat frigidly down on
ths extreme edge Of the nearest bench,
and cast down her eyes, as was sup
poset, in blushing modesty. But no!
it was not modesty; it was her shoes
upon which her admiring glances
directed.
The rest of her costume was COM
monplace, consisting of a black dress Of
some cheap material, which one of the
ladies designated as cluster" She
wore a hat trimmed with a wreath of
tawdry-looking pink and blue artificial
flowers. while bows of yellow and
green ribbon relieved the somber hue of
the dress. But it remained for the shoes
to give the true bridal character to this
somewhat remarkable toilet. They
were of white kid, low cut, with huge
r~osettes on the instep. Her pedal ex-
tremities, which were of rather colossal
proportions. were augmented by home
knit wooden stockings. which appeared
just a trit1e incongruous. Her husband
soon joined her, and took a seat beside
her, and as he sat speeches., with his
wife's hand lying in his own, it is sup
posed that he, too, was lost in admira-
ton and wonder at the beauty of the
slippers. A half hour later found them
in the same. position, with the bride
still casting loving glances at her feet.
When the newly-wedded pair left the
boat they were met by an old man and
a young girl, who, by the way they
embraced the bridegroom. were set
down as his father and sister. The
former took the bride gently by the
hand, who received them with rigid
stateliness. The girl timidly ventured
to kiss her newly made sister. The
caress was passively permitted, not re-
turned and afterward deliberately
wipedjo off with a blue cotton pocket
handkerchief. The last seen of the
kid shoes they were almost invisible
