ALL GRlST FOR THE BRIDE
Other Women In the House Have
Small Chance of Receiving Bun
dies That Are Sent Home.

An uptown woman who nearly got
stalled In Ninth street car with
bundle Of merchandise gave this rea-
son for carrying home her own par
cells, according to the Philadelphia
Public Ledger.
There is a prospective bride In
our boarding house." she said. "Ev-
erything in the dry-goods line Is grist
TO the mill of the woman about to be
married. Other women who have the
misfortune to live in the same house
shop under diilculties, The only way
they can insure the enjoyment of
their own purchases is to carry them
home.
III the things are delivered the
bride snaps them up, Possibly she
has no real shcpliiting propensities,
but circumstances combine to make
her a thief. Servants bring to her
room all parcels OF whatever size and
shape that come TO that front door.
So many of the things do belong to
her that to read the label or listen to
what the delivery boy says Is consid-
cred superfluous exertion. And the
bride is equally disdainful of a pre-
liminary examination. Egestically she
rips off wrappers and digs into con-
tents,
Yesterday / heard her raising the
roof because q certain shop had sent
her six pairs Of black silk stockings,
instead OF the pink. blue and tan she
had ordered. After she had sent the
stockings back and had the money re-
funded | discovered the stockings
were mine I cannot afford to CON
tribute these parcels to the brides
wardrobe, so I am carrying them
home"

of honesty is increasing in New York,
at least In this locality. This morn
ing | called the attention Of a sales,
man to a small mistake he lad made
IN giving me change, The mistake be-
ing in my favor The proprietor,
who was standing near, said 10 me:
You're honest You'll get along all
right. Not so many years ago the
thought that seemed far too preyaicn.
in this country was that only some
clever form of dishonesty could get
along all right The - reliant who
could trick a customer was supposed
to be the smart fellow, and it was as
sumed an honest person was sure tc
get the little end OF everything. | am
delighted to find even one man who

FOUND AN ECONOMICAL PAIR
Most Joyous Occasion OF Life Failed
to Make Them Loosen Up," to
Young Ciergyman's Dismay.

A clergyman in Cherryyale tells
Mrs Moffett that when he vas a.
struggling young preacher and mar
riage fee locked like several square
meals to him, he vas called upon 70
offciate at the wedding Of wealthy
young farmer to the daughter Of an
other farmer, also very wealthy and
widely known In tho county. The
night Of the wedding was a stormy
one and the train to the little country
station was two hours late. so the
preacher hired a rig and drove the
entire II miles, getting there Just in
time to miss supper. The wedding
was a brilliant affair and after the
ceremony the groom called the min
lister aside and told him how much
he appreciated his coming through the
storm and handed him 50 bi.l-not
enough to pay the team hire. As the
preacher sat stunned, gazing at the
money, the brides father came in and
the groom left. "iIow much dil he
give you?" asked the father. Only
two dollars" replied the preacher.
"Why. that is a shame" exclaimed
the father "After all your trouble,
too. He's terrible close with money,
Don't say word to any one, but take
tais." And as the old man slipped
away the preacher. much touched,
opened his hand anddfound 81 bill.
