HOW II ENDED
Everybody Was Happy and Two Weddings
Took Place.

One of them had been away, and the
other was meeting her at the railroad sta
ton. They greeted each other with great
effusion.
ooh, you dear thingr' cried the travel
er. "How are you? I am dying-actually
dying-to see you and hear all about it.
The last letter I had you and Fred were
quarreling horribly because 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
whooping cough. Wasn't it horrid of
hi1n?''
"Indeed it was. But it is all settled
now, is it not?"
ooh, quite. You see''-
81 knew it would be. Lovers quarrels
are not serious. He wanted to be married
in the morning, too, while you were bent
on an evening wedding. He preferred
travelling gear while your heart was set
upon full dress. That was all, though,
believe. No; he wanted to be married on
Tuesday, and you on Wednesday. Do tell
me how it was settled.
''Oh, that wasn't nearly all. He insist
ed that Ida must be bridesmaid in spite Of
all I said, and-wasn't it mean?-he actu-
ally objected when I wanted Joe to be his
best man. Then 1 wanted to go to Mexico
on the wedding trip, while he was deter
mined on Canadian tour
''But you have arranged it all now?p
"Indoed we have; there will be no
more
I'm glad of it. Did he agree to board
at hotel afterward, or did you consent to
keep houseg And, oh, tell me, did he prom
Use to call your mother mamma, or did
you give in to his addressing her as Mrs.
Van Tompkins? I 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
"And about the presents. I Remembers
that he insisted upon letting all your
friends know that none would be welcome,
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, I knew Joe would agree to what
ever 1 said, and l also knew that Ida was
aware that I knew she wanted to be in my
place, and 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 good
ness, it is all settled now"
"WelI, you needn't be so mysterious.
Here I've been half an hour trying to get a
plain answer to a simple question and can't
succeed. How did,
on Tuesday morning in travelling dress

On their return they will keep house, and
he is always to call her mother Mrs Fitz-

you please is to become of you, with all
your lovely trousseau?'
ooh, that is all right am to marry

We go to Mexico on our trip. On our re-
turn we board at hotel Joe has prom
ised to call my mother mamma as long
as he lives. And, oh, Dora, want you to
come right up to the house with me and
help me 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 present. Oh, tell
you am the happiest girl on earth, for I
am sure of having things just my own
way for the rest of my natural life. Chi
