A romantic incident connected with
the recent marriage of two popular
young people of Bridgton, Me-, has
just come to light. 1t seems that in
the very beginning of their courtship
some six or seven years ago, during
one of the young mans visits to the
home of the young lady who finally
became his wife, he CHANGED to take
from his pocket SO gold piece which
the young lady got into her posses
sion. He made a brief attempt to
regain it, but gave it up and in
joking way said, Keep it to pay the
minister with
The years went by and the COLDER
eagle was entirely forgotten by the
young man. On the day when the
marriage ceremony was to take place
which was the opening of the presen,
season, the bride-to-be produced the
identical gold piece and the minister
received it for his fee.-Kennebec

only a few months, went home and

vitation to bachelor dinner he ex-
pected her to object. Instead she
urged him to go.
The dinner over, one of the party
remembered that the Arion ball was
being given and proposed that they
all go. The proposition was accepted
but not without hesitation on the part
of Banks. Once at the ball, however,
Banks became as gay as the gayest.
His scruples were forgotten, and he
enjoyed himself to the limit until he
saw in the gay crowd woman who
seemed strangely familiar. She was
masked, but she wore the costume his
wife lately had purchased for an ap-
preaching private masquerade He
could swear to the costume.

this really was his wife, who he had
supposed was home asleep. The wom-

Landlady Knew Him Not

James was confirmed old bachelor
had been for long time-and will
probably remain single all his days. A
gay boy always, polished gentleman
of the old school, often seen at dances
and receptions, and yet he never mar
ried. Folks thought he was stony
hearted. and yet he was not devoid
of sentiment.
For twenty-five years he roomed in
the same house, and he had that rev.
erence for his landlady that a doting
son has for his mother He fairly
worshiped the old lady, and any man
who said anything about her that was
not complimentary might as we'll get
ready to fight II James was within
hearing.
James was an inveterate poker
player, and that means staying out
late at night. And yet the old bach
elor wouldn't have his revered land
lady know this for anything For
years it had been his trial. his study
to make her believe that he kept good
hours, and now he had to scheme to
keep her in ignorance of his true life

When Judge Ashman of Philadel-

to try life in pension. He had been
told of nice house, but had also been
told that the hostess spoke very lit

walked there from the hotel where

The lady had listened politely to
every syllable, and then she said in
the purest English, Pardon me, sir,
but will you please tell me again just

Where is the American heiress who
can boast a trousseau of 800 cos
tunes, in which every stitch has
poetic and symbolic significance? A
wardrobe of this kind is the posses
sion of Nine. Wong. the wife of the
vice-commissioner from China to the
st. Louis worlds fair. These wonder
full dresses were unpacked the other
day at the Wong residence in st.
Louis. No two of the gowns are alike
and many of them are woven in an
entire piece. The exquisite workman
ship on the robes is beyond the power
of description. All are embroidered
in so delicate fashion that an artists
brush could not have delineated them
more perfectly. Each flower and en-
blem worked on the gown of a Chi
nese woman of rank signifies some
beautiful sentiment. A robe embroid-
cred with plum blossoms speaks the
poetry of lie. The phoenix, with its
outstretched wings. denotes welded
happiness. To the uninitiated eye
this wealth of embroidery is the per-
lection \of the artists skill. but to the
Chinese husband each sprig and bios
som, bird and butterfly carries its
own message of love.
