are true there is a woman in that city
who can refrain from talking for FIVE

PLANS THAT WENT WRONG.

Showing How Hard Il Is to Drive
PIks Into Matrimony.
Once UPON a time, before everybody
had learHed to attend strictly to his
own affaifs. man and maid were in
love with each other, but, though this
was patent to all their friends, neither
OF them knew it. However. their
friends said unanimously: I'VE will
demonstrate it to them and write a
triumphant G. e. D. upon their we'd
ding morn"
Therefore, the maid never was in.
vited 9nywhere that she did not find
the man invited also; nor was the man
invited anywhere but that he found
the maid likewise guest. Further.
more. the man always was detailed to
take the maid in to dinner, and they
could not so much as glance at each
other without everybody else having
an errand out of the room. and society
became a vast mandatory of oppor.
tunities for them to revel in each
others company alone and undis-
turbed Now, before this had time to
becbme habit with them, both the
man and the maid penetrated the dark
plot.
Mhereupon the maid tossed her
head. saying: They needn't think
have only one chance" and immedi.
ctely betrothed herself to an impeculi-
ohs fortune hunter whose only rec
ommendation was his title.
And thereupon the man hastily mar
ried himself to grass widow from
Chicago. whose reputation, they do
say, was responsible for the big fire.
| Consequently all their friends nod

TO each other, Didn't tell you so?"-
