and Just as he was turning into Sixth street

The announcement will presently be made
of the engagement of a lady well known in
ST. Paul society 10 man prominent in the
business world Of Chicago, sc this story had
better be told now. The lady in question has
her charms but she is no longer In the chew
ing gum stage Of youth. She is very clever,
and has had all sorts Of admirers. but she
had come TO be regarded as a confirmed
bachelor girl.
She Is q good business woman, yet last
winter when one Of her chums was married
and she helped choose the rousseau she
went home tired one night and heaved a
little sigh which made her fond father ask
what was the matter. She said she wondered
II she would ever have to 90 to the trouble
Of picking out her own outfit, her friend had
gotten such a delightful lot Of things.
The father IS well-to-do and very proud of
his daughter. He told her on the spot that,
as she was going TO Chicago to accept an
excellent business opening that had come to
her he would stand treat for an outfit which
she might regard as a trousseau, If she liked,
and she might have carte blanche in the
ordering Of it. She Rugged him and declared
him 'jolIy good old fellow" after the
fashion OF bachelor maids.
Then she went out and she didn't do much
of anything 10 his bank account, But he
was game and paid the bill, and she went out
If town in a blaze Of glory and millinery
and things such as would have done honor to
any bride.
She was away exactly five months when
word came back to papa that she had con-
cluded that there was nothing in being
bachelor maid, and that she was going to
marry the president of the concern with
which she had engaged in a business way.
Papa thinks It rather joke him, and
he told the story himself. But there viii be
a sequel, for who ever heard of a bachelor,
or any other sort of maid, getting married
without an outfit made solely for that occa-
sion?
