Genoa Marriage Brokers.

In Genoa there are regular marriage
brokers, who have pocketbooks filled
with the names of manageable girls Of
the different classes, with notes of their
figures, personal attractions, fortune and
other circumstances. These brokers go
about endeavoring to arrange connec-
tions in the same offhand mercantile
manner which they would bring to bear
upon merchandise transaction, and
when they succeed they get commits
sion Of 2 or 3per cent upon the portion,
with such extras or bonuses as may he
voluntarily bestowed by the party. Mar
riage at Genoa is thus oftentimes SIM
ply a matter Of business calculation,
generally settled by the parents or rela-
tions, who often draw up the contract
before the parties have seen one another,
and it is only when everything else is
arranged and few days previous to
the marriage ceremony that the future
husband is i$roduced to his partner for
life Should he find fault with her man
ners or appearance he may annul the
contract on condition of defraying the
brokerage and any other expenses incur.

to do the driving himself on the way
home and to have Mrs. Peytee on the
seat beside him. The reprehensible fact
was that the bit of tussle had stirred
the colonel's blood and made him feel
10 years younger.
Harry, too, was considering the posi-
bilities Of the homewar7 Grip. The 9TH
er young man was a gentle, good natured
young fellow. Harry resolved to make
a confidant of him and beg him to sur
render the buggy and Charley to her be-
trothed. The other young man imme-
diately, blushingly and with the eager
ness Of embarI assment consented. He
had no sooner done so than he was trou-
bled for fear his surrender was unworthy
a properly high spirited man. He knew
he had heard of blood flowing about
smaller matters, but he realized his own
incapacity for living up to some high
ideals and was helpless against his own
human sense and sympathy.
Though quite i'll the dark about some
trifles whose amazing potential impor-
lance we have seen, Mrs. Peytee conf
IDENTIFY and correctly announced the en-
gagement Of lis daughter to the colonel
on the way home, and that announce
ment formed the point of departure for
a conversation that was exactly to her
mind.
