seemingly unimportant triles, but which,
she knows full well, will make or mar the
wedding, so she feels a little ike Martha at
present, careful and troubled about many
things" For, let me tell you, Margaret Is
not an ultra fashionable damsel, who has
etiquette at her finger tips, and knows ex-
actly what to do under any conceivable cir
