preached as soon as they entered the
kidded hand for the invitations. With the
dignity betting 80 ceremonious an occa-
sion. the gentleman went in his pocket and
handed the usher a couple of car tickets.
The mistake was remedied and the usher
took the lady and sailed up the aisle, with
the gentleman following after.
1t was q beautiful wedding. with spring
flowers, soft music and many lights: the
Inn hrid a
girlish dream.

stood up throughout the service and walled
off the view from those in the pews be-
hind.
ion. who had effectively deprived the people
back of her from getting a glimpse by
humping herself on the woodwork end Of
the pew and craning her neck over the
aisle
But 1t wasn't the wedding that made the
indelible impression. 1t was that mistake
about the car tickets. They giggled over 1t
from Lohengrin to Mendelssohn. They
were giggling over It as they swooped down
on the blossoms that the little flower bear
ers had scattered before the bride, and
when they had showed their way through
the crowd and Joined two more OF their
kind at the church door they giggled a
great deal more.
And they didn'rIook like young women
who were easily pleased, either.
Which shows what car tickets can do.

An aerial screw propeller for flying ma
chimes has been Invented on somewhat new
lines by European aeronaut Major
Hoernes. Instead of revolving at a con-
slant speed. 1t is driven by series of i'm
pulses which Is said to greatly increase It's
effectiveness. This Is said to be due to the
fact that the air Is capable of compression
while the conditions of a propeller working
