lish her in DIS soon as the nuptials were COM

Mr.. Youngmau reads over the list and tries
to remember that ne bought all OF these
things when he furnished the house, but he
can't.

order them yourself, dhrling?' he says.

them well enough
But might not get just what you want,
he suggests.
''Oh, you goose" she says, smiiingly,
throwing her arms round his neck and drop
ping kiss on his lips, you know I'd be sat
ished with anything you bay me.
II wouldn't be single again for anything.
unused Mr.. Youngmdn, as he trippei lightly
down stairs.
That noon Mr.. Youngman brought home
the desired articles and laid them On the
table. Mrs. Youngman looked over the arti-
cles and said:

tacks; those iron ones rust out so quick.
