vestibule, nervous individual, who every
body guessed could be none other than the
groom, walking first impatiently, then re-
signedly. up and down near her. the church
full of people, whose heads turned round
at every stir near the door, all of whom
did not know that it was not the principals
who were missing. One lady of a practical
turn of mind, determined to solve the rid
die, and she was heard saying, as she con-
cluded not to wait for the ceremony:
Great land, too much trouble to get
man to marry nowadays to be kept waiting
for another to give you away. l would not
wait second, If I was dead sure of the
groom and the minister"
This waiting is downright risky business.
as one young lady could testify, who was
desperately in love with an awfully nice
man, who was right up to the very latest
thing in love-making. She dillied and dali
lied just a little, not to look too grasping
when the offer came. and let the affair
rest at what is considered an understand
Ing phase of courtship which generally
ends in white satin and orange blossoms.
They do say she had gone SO far to order
some wedding finery. AS model of hus-
handy devotion and affection for his first
wife. the man was really fit for a glass
case and exhibition. She did not announce
the engagement, he was still wearing
mourning in his best clothes. Mr.. Model
went to Washington ball. These balls
are dreadful things for making a man
come to rapid conclusions: He forgot all
about the little understanding, and a
pretty girl, whom less than a week later
he had asked to be his wife. They will be
married next month. The other girl! Per-
hapS she never existed, or. II she did, 1t is
hoped she will hustle around when she gets
an offer again, and not give a man so
much time that he will keep changing his
mind and the location Of his affections just
to keep 1t employed.
