GETTING MARRIED.

How Nice Girls Behave When One OF Their
Set MarrIes.
Here is something delightfully."- sketch Y
and readable from Youth's Companion:
Evelina is engaged. Indeed, she is
shortly to be married. Her "set," OF
whom she is the first to take this import.
ant step, are greatly tiuttered by the
approaching event and talk it over on
every possible occasion.
One of them says it is dreadful for an
unknown man to come from away out
West and carry off one of their girls.
They will never see her agaln-nevrr,
She will come home to visit, probably
but girl who is married tells hun
everything. and has lost interest in people
and isn't the same at all; aud they may
as well make up their minds to lose hel
once for ALL
Here there is chorus of signs and
groans. aud another uIce girl says he isu' I
much to lock at, either; she has seen his
photograph. He has pale eyes, aud a
ridiculous little mustache that she Knows
by his looks he is extremely proud of.
Why Evelina wants hlm she can't ina.
CINE. He isn't handsome. or rich, Oh
heroic, or anything else interesting. lie
is Just commonplace Young map.
Some one of them timidly ventures to
remark that Evelina is nothing remark.
able herself, and, perhaps, common.
place young man will exactly suit her.
Silence follows this observation, and
the person who at length breaks it dis.
creetly selects another branch of the
inc xhaustible subject: Does anybody
know anything about the trousseau? II
appears that they all do, but the nforma.
ton possessed by one exactly agrees with
that of no one else, and it is halt ~ houl
before they have sifted out the probable
truth from a mass of conflicting accounts,
all given at once and very loud.
When this most important point has
been debated and settled they take AN

ment at the idea of Evelina's actually
keeping house; they say that 1t is nearly
as absurd as to call her Mrs.
They then discuse the ceremony, ant
each gives at length description of the
manner IN which her own wedding should
be conducted were she to marry. Several
OF the girls say they should like to marry
just to show their friends what wedding
ought to be.
One remarks that she. too, would like
it, that she might demonstrate to every.
body hat a bride need not pale, and eau
say Il will loud enough to be hear,
beyond the first three rows, if she will
only make up her mind beforehand to dc
it.
Then EVeliua's marriage really takes
place. she is very pale, indeed, and toe
nervous to attend properly to her train
But her friends forgave her these little
errors of conduct, and admit that on the
| whole she did very well. One OF them
who steps down to The station, and stan,

her husband for their new home, ever
says afterward that shs had almost for.

He looked as common place as ever
she declares; only, when two people seen
as happy as they did. somehow you have
to give them every thing; and She hope,
the other girls will stay single for long
time to come; but as to Mrs. Evelina, SHE
wishes her good luck with all her heart
This is about the way nice girls behave
when one of their number makes a com.
