Chicago T;mes-HeraId.
One of them had been away and the
other was meeting her at the railroad
station; they greeted each other with
great effusion.
"Oh, you dear thing" cried the trav-
eler, "how are you? I am dying, ac-
tually dying, to see you and hear all
about it. The last letter I had you
and Fred were quarreling horribly be-
cause you wanted to be married in
church and he refused"
81 know; he insisted upon our being
married at home just because he had
the whopping cough; wasn't it horrid
of him?'
Indeed it was. But it is all settled
now, is it not?''
"Oh, quite; you see
81 know it would be; lovers quar-
relS are not serious. He wanted to
be married in the morning, too, while
you were bent on an evening we'd
ding; he preferred travelling gear, while
your heart was set upon full dress
that was all, though, 1 believe-no, he
wanted to be married on Tuesday and
you on Wednesday. Do tell me how
it was settled %
ooh, that wasn't nearly all. He in
sisted that Ida should be bridesmaid in
spite Of all l said, and, wasn't it mean?
he actually objected when 1 wanted
Joe to be his bsst man. Then I wanted
to go to Mexico on the wedding trip,
while he was determined on Canadian
tour
But you have arranged it all now?''
Indeed we have; there will be no
more"
I'm glad of it, Did he agree to
board at a hotel afterward, or did you
consent to keep house? And, oh, tell
me, did he promise to call your mother
mamma or did you give in to his adj
1 can't rest until 1 hear all about it,
ooh, we settled that as we did all our
differences, in just the easiest way;
We
that he insisted upon letting all your
friends know that none would be well
come, while you naturally wanted
everything you, could get; Did you
quarrel much about that?'
Indeed we did, without coming to
any conclusion. Finally we agreed to
call in joe and Ida and talk it all over
with them. You see, l knew Joe would
agree to everything sad, ana L also
knew that Ida was aware that l
knew she wanted to be in my place,
and 1 thought she would be careful.
But don't you think, the mean thing
just agreed with whatever Fred
thought best-so it did no good at ALL
Well, thank goodness, it is all settled
nowr'
well, you needn't be so mysterious;
here I've been half an hour trying to
get a plain answer to a simple ques-
ton and can't succeed. How did"
''Why, Fred and Ida are to be mar
ried on Tuesday morning, in travelling
dress, and so to Canada on their we'd
ding tour: on their return they. will
keep house, and he is always to call her
mother Mrs. Fitz-Brown.' They are to
accept no presents and
well, upon my word. And what, II
you please, is to become of you, with all
your lovely trouSseau?'
.Oh, that is all right. l am to marry
joe in full dress, on Wednesday even
ing; we go to Mexico on our trip; on
our return we board at a hotel. Joe
has promised to call my mother mann
ma as long as he lives. And, oh, Dora,
1 want you to come right up to the
house with me and help TO address the
invitations; we want to get them out
in good time, so that none of our
friends can find valid excuse for not
sending us a preseT-A Oh, l tell you,
am the happiest girl on earth, for l am
sure of having things just my own way
for the rest of my natural lie.
