OF the hotel. huge white pink in his but
ton hole, a large pun scarf on his bosom
and his very swellest morning rig on. an
asked impatlently about the carriages
He had q very long talk with the clerk on
this matter, and IL was evident from lis
manner that he was very much excited OF
very much ratified. or both.
There was an air OF Importance about
him that made IL quite apparent that
something OF moment was going on. In
fact, the great number OF people about the
piazzas, the number OF carriages on the
streets, and the general air OF expectancy
and the smart morning clothes that
everybody wore indicated that everybody
was out for some particular purpose.
Five drawing room cars loaded with
people had come up from New York on
the night before. for the event that was
TO take place at high noon in the prett.
Trinity Church was one that society h.,d
been looking forward to for the past sAx
months. ever since the engagement wa
announced at large dance at Mrs. Ham
lyn's town house in January; 1t was moth
ing more than the wedding OF Edward
Hunnewell Lawrence and Gladys Mon
tague.
Young Havermeyer was one OF the
ushers and he had been sent for by
Thurston, who was best man, to look up
some stray carriages. He did the bust
ness to his satisfaction and then rushed
of TO the church. Thurston and Lang
ford were among the other ushers. and II
was one OF the most charming weddings
that ever took place in the Berkshire
Mills. 1t was perfect June day although
N the west small thunder caps lurked.
1t was wedding OF roses. Red roses
pink roses, cream roses, American beau
ties and Jacks" In profusion everywhere
Everybody who cares to remember such
things remembers this wedding. Every
body remembers how the bridal process

everybody remembers how charming the
bride looked, her dark face showing TO
perfection amid the filmy lace Of the
bridal veil; everybody remembers how
proud and happy Langford looked as he
marched up the aisle shoulder TO shoulder
with Jack Hamlyn who had just returned
from road, and who was soon TO be his
brother-in-law; everybody remembers
how triumphant, how tender, how brave
and handsome Lawrence looked as he
proceeded down the aisle with the bride;
all these things are an old story to So
ciety.
And then the reception at Mrs. Hamlyns
where they received under a huge bell
made entirely of roses. the dancing on the
lawn and the merrymakng until late in
the afternoon. Everyone remembers this.
but no one knows what happened when
the bridal couple got into the carriage to
drive 20 the station.
Gladys began crying and Lawrence
asked her what was the matter. IL is
said that all brides cry wnen they &c
away, but perhaps this Is not true. A,
any rate Lawrence asked her what was
the matter.
II was thinking OF last summer" she
said. And thinking how sorry felt fol
that poor Dir. Dsvarls."
You needn't feel sorry for him." said
Lawrence. "for hes the swellest vlollnisi
In Europe to-day"
Yes. yes" she answered, but made
him fall In love with me-"

long as you didn't fall in love with him
But don't let's think OF that"
And they dldn'ti
