How Three Men Found Wives.

Recently, says the Louisville Post,
there was a gathering Of young mar
ried couples at the house of one, and
the conversation turned on the man
ner in which the wives had secured
their husbands. Each one had
different story to tell, and some of
the experiences related were very
amusing. One had paved the way to
the altar by making face at the fated
one because she thought he had stared
at her imprudently. He admired her
mettle and sought an introduction.
Another made the acquaintance of
the man who is now her husband by
accidently sousing him with pan of
dishwater which she tossed out of the
kitchen window into an alley just in
time to catch him as he was passing.
She was, of course, very sorry for her
and insisted on re-
pairing the damages as far as she
could, and did it so deity that he de-
termined to have her clean all his
clothes.
The one that was, however, voted to
be the most novel was the experience
of a young man connected with the
municipal government. The latter
was in the habit of passing, on his
way home, the residence of the young
lady who is now his better half, and
one evening, out of spirit Of mischief,
she accidentally on purpose" turned
the hose on him. He faced about,
blushed violently and stammered
"thank you" in response to her
rOguish smile, and from that moment
he knew he was fated.
