"Quite true, my friend. Reach what

that history knows many beginnings.

A Hotel Incident,

They were spotted for a bs1dal couple
As soon as they entered the dining room,
but the walters were too busy to notice
them, and all the tables were filled. So
they stood just inside the door holding
hands.
After awhile the head waiter saw
them from the other side of the room
and beckoned them, being afraid to
leave the place that had just been va
Gated.
The newly married man dropped his
BRIDES hand and started across the big
dining room as if it had been skating
rink. When half way across, he turned
and skated back to her.
Maria" he said in loud, manly
tones, don't ye stir from here till get
back"
"Naw, Pete" she responded. "but
don't We be gone long.
Again he acknowledgement the dining
room and returned to Maria, where she
stood blushing and bridling by the door.
''Stay right here" he urged in loud
whisper; "ef ye don't, yen sure get
lost I'll come back in minute, when
see what that fellow wants.
But the waiter came up at that mo-
ment and took the two of them in tow
and landed them safely in the places he
had secured for them. -Detroit FREQ
