the more quietly it is done the

satisfactory to think that the tendency
nowadays is all in this direction. There is
one story to the interesting effect that in
some cases not even the modern swell bride
and bridegroom know where thew are
going. The matter is all arranged, it is
SAID, by the best man. After the ceremony
be puts into the hands Of the bridegroom a
schedule of arrangements that have been
made IN his behalf, with the necessary rail-
road tickets. This is doubtless pleasantly

grooms nowadays who yearn for their
newly found happiness to be made a sub

hotels and railroad conveyances of the
land, they will be gretified, probably. with
out making any special effort. There seems
TO be something about q newly married
couple which is unmistakable and only the
brides who make a tremendous effort
to conceal the fact of their bride
hood will be disappointed. Their
efforts to impress people with the fact
that they have been married for several
years, instead of several days, usually
meet with disastrous failure. The clerks in
hotels and the porters of drawing-room
cars have been asked frequently how it is
that they are able to distinguish newly
married people with so much certainty. The
proprietors and railroad conductors on the
cars declare that it is owing almost alto
gether to the constant and tender devotion
paid by the man to the woman which IS
noticeable SO far as young husbands are con-
cerned. but with experienced husbands it is
noticeably absent.
FUNNY THINGS WILL HAPPEN.
In answer to a question of this sort. the
hotel clerk has usually lots of stories to tell.
He says that he is able to spot newly mar
RED couple partly because Of their new
clothes and partly because Of their new bag
gage. Then Che groom is apt to give the sit
uation away. He will drive up to the ladies'
entrance Of the hotel and leave his wife in
the parlor while he goes to arrange for q
room and will engage a single room,
wholly unmindful of the lady whom he has

and is only pacifed when explanations are
forthcoming. A hotel clerk in town tells
one story Of a man who not only forgot to
register his wife'S name, but was SO en-
barrassed that he was not able to register
even his own name. Finally the clerk was
compelled to tell him who he was, and ne
explained that he had been recently mar
ried, and that would account for his mental
alteration.
One of the funniest wedding trips that
probably have ever occurred was one which
the couple finished with a trip back to Bos-
ton over the Fall River line. The bridal
couple had started out with what they con-
sidered money enough to take them through,
but had spent great deal more in New
Yark aud in other places than they had
counted on, and finally, after paying their
hotel bill in New York, found them.
selves with just enough money to pay
fares back on the Fall River boat.
As evening approached they discussed
their situation and what they should best
do. Finally the COCOON courageously stated
the case to an officer, to whom the idea of
young man getting financially busted" Oh
his wedding trip was an entirely novel one,
and he bee me so much interested from the
mingled humor and pathos of the situation
that he offered to give up his own room to
the couple, and did SO. When the groom
got back to Boston he sent the officer the
money equivalent for the stateroom accom-
mediation he had SO obligingly made over to
him.
