a horror of being blue stocking and
read few books. But you delight in
society. That is your real field As
for religion-well, you sometimes think
of it, that is all You don't really care

Then she scrutinized the hand of the
Brooklyn girl more closely.

Ministers have quite as many touch
ing incidents as funny ones in their
duty of performing the marriage cere-
mony for "all sorts and conditions of
men," One such is told by a clergy
man who lived at some distance from
the populous part of the town, and
who was therefore accustomed to sug-
gest some conveyance to those couples
who did not come in a carriage. A
mlddle-aged man and woman who
looked as if life might have been rather
hard for them, came one night to be
married. The ceremony over, the min
lister said to them:
"Now, I'll tell you where to take a
car. You know we are a long distance
from anywhereW
The man turned to his bride with a
look of sudden sweetness.
'Oh, no" said he gently. ~ guess
we won't ride. Wen just walk alonga
spell and talk it over"
