SHE FORGOT THE STORY.
Romance of Diamond Lost Completely
in the Flood of Social Gossip
TpoofoD Do,fy.fT,.


The church is filling fast for the we'd
ding of Reginald Spicer and Angelina
Mayburn, and the young lady friends
of the bride are fluttering in the pews
in that state of delicious excitement
into which the feminine soul is inevita-
bly, thrown by marriage ceremony, no
matter how remote is the personal in
terest involved therein. Kate Vaughn
and Aggie Morton are together on the
broad aisle, in a position which enables
them to see everything with the utmost
ninuteness.
Kate-Oh, and they do say that that
diamond star which Mrs. West wears is
only Rhine stones. Do you believe it?
Aggie-How horrid people are! Do
they really say that?
K.-Yes, they really do.
Al don't believe it. She has had 1t
too long; and, besides, that Is the star
that they tell the queer story about.
K.-What story?
A.-Haven't you ever heard it9
K.-No, never did.
A.-Well, do think that is funny.
K.-But do tell me what it is.
A.-Why, you see this young man-it
was in New York, you know, and it was
ever so many years ago. You know
Mrs. West came from New York.
K.-Yes; her mother was my cousins
aunt.
A.-Wasn't she your aunt, then?
K.-Of course not. How horrid OF
you to think could have an aunt so old
as her mother would be!
A.-Oh, never thought Of that. But
how could she be
K.-Why, it was on the other side of
the house, you see, and my cousin was
nearly as old as my mother.
Allow funny. Don't you think re-
lationships are real funny?
K.-Yes, do.
Ais Angelina Mayburn really any
relation to that girl in Philadelphia that
Reggy Spicer flirted SO with last winter?
K.-Pm sure l don't know. Agnes
said she'd find out, but she didn't.
Ais Agnes going to Bar Haroor
this summer?
K.-She says she is, so suppose she
isn't.
A.-Why, Kate Vaughnl What a
horrid thing to say.
K.-Well, don't care; it's just so
every time. Do look at Fanny Packard.
She has on that old green silk that she
had made over for three summers.
A.-And the Rhinestone comb.
K.-On what was the story you were
going to tell me about Mrs. Vests star?
A.-Oh, yes: forgot what we were
talking about, Well, there was this
handsome young man that all the girls
were in love with; and at last he got en-
gagged to one of them.
K.-Yes
A.-And she was an awfully proud
girl.
K.-Oh, know the kindl
A.-And-
K.-Oh, there is Mrs. Throckmorton.
Did you know that they say that she has
been living at Newport just so that she
can get a divorced
A.-No; really?
K.-That's what they say.
Al don't believe it.
K.-Why not?
A.-Why, he has always been just de-
voted to her.
K.-I dare say that was all blind.
1t was probably put on in public.
Al don't care; he was an awfully
handsome man.
K.-She isn't much to look at.
Avery likely that was the trouble.
K.-How?
A.-Why, a homely wife is always
Jealous Of handsome husband.
K.-She generally has reason to be.
Why in the world doesn't the bride
come?
A.-Oh, something always happens at
the last minute.
K.-Oh, how nervous it would make
me.
A.-To be married?
K.-To 90 through the wedding.
A.-There are the Jones next to Mrs.
West.
K.-Oh, you didn't finish about that
star.
A.-Oh, / must tell you that, for
really it Is a remarkable story. Now
