only way in which marriages arc

girl from a well-to-do family rarges
from fI0 to $50, and in special cases
a much higher sum is obtained. In
the villages the lowest price is abous
five pounds. 1t is customary for the
fathers Of the intending bride and

over the price to be paid for the lady.

shocked to see the youthful wife with

"Who would have thought that
Tom was such a villainp retorted the
confused visitor, interrupting the ex-

ooh, no" the young wife yentured
to explain again, "Tom is not so bad
as that, Mrs. B.. 1t was only in

The amused young woman tried
again to explain, and smilingly re.
sponded: "Tom didn't strike me,
Mrs. B."
'He didn't strike you? Then how
did he blacken your eyes3" inquired
the curious matron.
"0h," laughed the young lady.
