Wedding Bells

R. Chaplin and Miss Louise EStella CreaI. The church was tastefully decor ated and included an arch of pepper boughs, and natural roses, from which was suspended a boat filled with rose buds and ivy. The altar rail was also covered with evergreen boughs and roses. From the arch to the rear of the auditorium, ribbons were extended thus forming an aisle down which the young couple came, to the inspiring strains of the Wedding March, from Lohemgrin, rendered by Mrs. Winsor, of Yuma, who presided at the organ. Preceding the happy couple were little Rose Parks and Estella Smith, who, as tiny maids of honor, scattered roses in their paths. They were met at the altar by the Key. Hugh B. HOllings- worth, pastor of the Christian Church at Holtville, who, as the handsome young couple stood under the beautiful arch, pronounced the impressive and mystical words which made them man and wife The bride was dressed in white and carried a bouquet of white carnations. The groom was dressed in the conventional suit of black. The church was well filled with the friends and relatives of the high contracting parties. After the ceremony, many and hearty were the congratulations extended the happy young couple The first train after the ceremony bore them away for months honeymoon, which will be passed at Santa Barbara, Los Angeles and Coronado Beach. The happy couple were the recipients of many beautiful and useful presents from their many friends and relatives. Upon their return from the honeymoon Mir. Chaplin will reside in Imperial where in partnership with his father he will engage in the real estate busi- ness.

Lady Ermyntrude, had Just been pre-
sented, though young even for such an
initiation. Her future was subject Of
frequent discussion in what is called
society" Whom she would marry and
when she would marry? Large ques-
tions-and then there were some who
fancied she would never marry, and
why? Because she was eccentric. Ec-
centric in what? Well. they say she
had ideas of her own. That is certainly
s-rious. Tonight it might have been
expected that she would have been by
the side OF her mother as Lady Ber-
tram received her guests. but Lady Err
myntrude had an instructive feeling
that Lady Bertram was not particular
ly anxious for her contiguous presence,
and she found 1T more amusing to move

sion some from that suItry land hand
ed round in order to prove the pre-
eminence Of Clapham Common.
The evening was short, and went off
pretty well. The young ladies had
sweet voices and were skiIlful musi-
clans. They did sing some psalms,
but his lordship did not find it out
He sat on a sofa in the evening be-
tween Mr.. and Mrs. Falconet, Jo-
seph Toplady on chair opposite to
them, looking earnest and rather
grim. They discussed his new life in
the House of Commons. and Joseph
took the opportunity Of .remarking
that he had received some new infor-
nation respecting the slave trade in
the Red Sea, and thought Of bringing
the matter forward. Il think would
leave the Red Sea alone" said the
Earl. eIt was a miracle that saved us
from being drowned in it before"
Mrs. Falconet looked grave, and her
husband quickly turned the CONVERSE
ton by remarking that there was
great difficulty in settling the habita-
ton Of Joseph, now that he had be-
come a Parliament man. He wished
to live at home, but that seemed in
compatible in the long run with the
late hours Of the House of Commons.

the Earl, "I had to rough it, for 1

try the Albany?"

comet, that Joseph might have found
an abode with some serious family"

Lord Bertram, they still, with frequent
kindness, would observe that he was
the most fortunate Of men. But Lord
Bertram was one of those who under
stand women and he was a favorite
with them.
Tall, pale and somewhat fragile, but
of a distinguished mien, her large dark
eyes, full of inscrutable meaning, while
a profusion Of rich brown hair, all her
own, veiled in a straight line her we'll
nodded brow and shaded with rich
masses her oval cheeks, Claribel re-
ceived her guests; her voice low but
musical and quite distinct, though she
scarcely condescended to raise 1t be-
yond a whisper. She listened rather
than conversed. but could seem deeply,
or what is styled intensely, interested
with her companion. and generally her
self summed UP with an epigram. or
what sounded as such. Then the ia
vored guest might retire and record the
words of wit and wisdom in his journal,
il. he kept one.
1t was amusing, unobserved, to watch
the various modes with which she well
ccmed her guests. Generally speaking,
the mass, of either sex, passed by her
absolutely in fear and trembling. The
beautiful head, grave almost to sad
ness, with a slight touch of celestial
pride in the recognition, just divinely
inclined itself, but occasionally her
countenance became animated, phos-
phoric flame shot forth from those eyes
of Olympian repose and she held forth
the most beautiful hand in the world
for them to touch, and even to press.
These favorites were almost always
men, statesmen of both sides, who
habitually consulted her, theological
professors from foreign universities or
wild radical poets, who found occa-
sion, notwithstanding their screaming
odes to coming men and coming times.

on a Sunday and then proceeding to
some distant hotel An enormous and
illimitable city stretches out before you,
apparently without an inhabitant. The
windows are closed. the shops shuttered
up, and in mighty thoroughfares,
groaning on week days with the weight
Of wains and carts and carriages and
streaming with population, perhaps the
hanson cab that you have been for
tunate enough to secure when you dis
embarked is the only vehicle visible
and no voice is heard except perhaps
your own giving unintelligible direc-
tions to some obstinate or silently
supercilious driver.
In the present case, however, the in
dividual who had secured the cab had
a companion, for when they had landed
he had courteously offered seat in his
vehicle to one whose acquaintance he
had only made during short voyage,
but whose conversation and manner
had interested him.
There is nothing to me more strik-
Ing ana SO ullG4pCClCQ dS tLlS appear

came here with the persuasion that the
English were rapidly renouncing not
only their own religion. but the re-
ligious principles altogether, and 1 find
a scene which, for the cessation of
labor, could only have been equaled in
old Jerusalem"
Manners and customs outlive super
stitions," said his companion, a man
who, If he had lost his youth, was in
the prime Of middle age-of middle
stature, still slender, with an inscru-
table countenance, for the color of his
eyes seemed to change while he spoke.
On the whole, it might be described
as a compact face, the features regu-
lar but inclined to delicacy, the brow
square and the mouth resolute. In
these days costume is little guide to a
mans station, except to the very prac-
ticed, and after voyage the most
fashionable and fastidious are some-
what soiled and shattered. Neverthe-
less, it would be at once felt that the
manner of this person was high-bred
natural. easy and yet dignified.

time to carry her theories into practice.
Fortunately. she had become acquaint-
ed with Fraulein Won Weimar. who had
gained her confidence and her heart by
her appreciation Of Lady Bertram's re-
sfstless influence over men. This last
ascendant power, however, was OF so
fascinating a character and 1t absorbed
the life of Claribel to such degree
that In due course she found it was i'm
possible to spare any longer any por-
ton Of her existence even to the sweet
tongued and subtle mind of Fraulein
Won Weimar. So after some scenes and
much unnecessary diplomacy on both
sides this lady became THE guide. the
preceptress and inseparable companion
of Lady Ermyntrude.
Her pupil had not the lustrous beauty
of her mother. and yet her appearance
was hardly less striking. She had a
beautiful figure, rare to see any one

that Lady Bertram was not a devoted
mother. She was a perfect parent-in

delight that was alike proper and prac-

to the queen of beauty, of fashion and
of genius.
With her own sex she was courteous,
but rarely cordial except with some
young ladies who were her worship
ers, and certainly except with her own
family, whom she habitually welcomed
with a courtly embrace. 1t was a di-
vine condescension. and meant to inti-
mate what she was in the habit of as
serting that there was no family in the
peerage which, for blood and historical
achievement, could for a moment be
classed with her own.
