was about to be married, and these two
were reviewing the contemplated aHaH
from more than one standpoint.
! OF course, the trousseau was the
first theme. A seven years apprenticeship
in a milliner's and dressmaker's estab-
lishments, would not make it possible for
me to reproduce a fraction of what l
overheard in a brief half hour. The young
ladies knew l was within hearing, so the
deeper mysteries were left unspoken, but
what l heard, could it be reduced to can
vas, would make a picture of radiant

Then the fortune that the bride would
receive, the home she was in future to

Both talked at equal speed and their
words for a while aIternated, but soon
one began to say: She ought to be-"

this was the result:

While they were talking, my thoughts
wandered away to this bride of ours
which is to enter into the union in the
autumn. Who can fifty describe her, who
can depict Alright her robes, jewelry. her
