fashionable wedding than the BRIDE
groom's. but in this case it was diff

when at length he was arrayed, he
looked himself over in his dressing
glass and voted the reflection perfect,
all but the hair; that was too long.

bridesmaids costume. The carriages

.Winkie, slipping on an old coat and
hat and making rush for the BARRIERS,
where fortunately, he found the artist
uneHgaged.

breathlessly.
Clippers smiled little slyly and
set his machine so that the stubble on
all parts OF Wrinkles head was less
than the thousandth part of an inch in
length when he sprang before the
glass to admire himself.

/. several shades whittier than that which
was spread over his features.

feeling in his breast he made for the
street where he encountered one OF
his friends on the way to the wedding.

grin "Its none Of your business. II

just entered one of the carriages to be
driven to the brides residence, as he
reached the door.

sprang agilely aside. Got your hair

shrilly. Wrinkle made u dive at his
pet pullet intending to devote enough

slipped upon bit of ice and he fell
and struck his face upon the corner oil
step and almost drove his nasal or
gan up into his brain.
He ardibly groaned as he picked
himself up, and the driver Of the
waiting carriage responded with a
e hoarse laugh. Wrinkle gained the hall,
triple bolted the door. and climbed the
stairs, leaving trail OF blood behind
him.
Ten valuable minutes were spent in
bathing his injured proboscis, ten
more in changing his stained linen,
and readjusting his wedding garments.

old bruiser tinge to it. His head was
as white and shining as that OF white

The hairdreser stepped TO side door,
