at dinner in the large dining room and
the news had become known 10 al of

couple appeared before the dinner was

table under the steadfast gaze OF every
one IN the room. They seemed to be
badly ratified and sat neryOusly silent
until their order had been filled. 1t
was then that the groom introduced hls
bride TO another lady at the table. In
doing so, however, he overturned a
larre goblet of milk into ms darling 5
black silk dress. A deathly silence fol-
lowed and then a suppressed utter.
