groom, says briskly: Take your position
here and places him on particular black
tile of the pavement. Turning next to the
bride, he says: 'Step with me to the other
/ side, please, here | will show you a Won
derful echo" and conducts her through the
maze Of other visitors to the opposite side
of the chamber. BY his direction she sets
her dainty foot on particular white tile,
near one of the granite pillars

vancng toward the lonely groom, SAY
something to her."
do you hear me, Madeline p asks the
] groom. At the same instant the brides
face lights up with delight, and, clapping
her hands in CLEO. she cries:
YES, but oh, how funny The idea! Dc
you hear me, too e.
Then she plies her lord with apparently
needless questions as to his health and the
like, aud with the slightest little touch OF
anxiety, noticeable in her eyes she mentally
| computes the distance between herself and
| him, as though smit with a shadowy fear
that he might run away and leave her.
| The sounds have Travelled over the heads of
all the other visitors, have sped up along
the high ceiling of the chamber, and come
down into the ears only of the bride and
groom.

The guide leads her back to her husband
in order to station them in the line of other
echoes, and in the eyes of the BRIDE as she
quickly rejoins her husband, you notice Il

BOGUS BRIDAL EXCURSIONS.
This and kindred other phases of the bride
question, appear SO amusing to native
Washing tonians that parties of unmarried
city girls are sometimes known to arraage
little bridal bogus excursions to the capitol
during the session of congress, attended by
young gentlemen of their acquaintance
whom they take into the plot. These girls
rig themselves up in a style as near
| like what they conceive to be the
regulation bridal custume in the country as
possible, and wear squeaky shoes, light
travelling wells and corsage boquets. Thus
attired, they mimic all the little dis,
tinguishing traits that they remember
| having seen in the street conduct of rural
brides, and the young gentlemen enter with
alacrity in;o Inc spirit of the sport. All
hands declare that il is lots of fun. But IT
is certain, nevertheless, that no innocen,
social diversions of that kind can simulate
the real bliss of the genuine brides and
groomS.
And thus the daily procession goes on
year after year, and will continue 90 move
on, a part, and a most interesting rart, of
the ebbing and flowing of the tides of life
the sweetIold story; "Old and yet ever new,
and simple and beautiful always; love
immortal and young in the endless success
sion of lovers"
