After the
 Wedding


 bounced into the car. Beg pardon, Stell, for steppin' on you" she con- tinued, stumbling over Miss Larson g feet and lunging into a seat next to that young person.
 Miss Larson opened one sleepy eye. "Oh, did you step on me?" she droned yawning widely and undisguisedly. q didn't know it."
 Sure 1 did," responded Miss Con- nelly. T thought I'd better wake you up and tell you about it You can go to sleep again now"
 Miss Larson opened the other eye. T wasn't asleep, Nell Connelly," she said, indignantly. II guess a persons got right to shut their eyes If they want to. My eyes ain't very strong and the light hurts 'em."
 Don't let's waste our perfectly good time fightin' with each other this morning." said Miss Connolly. "If we do we won't have time to knock the weddin'."
 Say" began Miss Frizkie eagerly, didn't you pretty near die over the way Names hair was fixed? Honest to goodness, when get married I'll have hair dresser fix my hair up swell If 1 don't have so much as pork chop to eat for year."
 ''I thought her hair looked pretty good for Name" said Miss Larson, sleepily. Tt always looks like she'd slept in it."
 Her dress was a peach, though, wasn't it?" said Miss Frizkie. At least 1t would have been If 1t had had any fit to it. All that hand em- broidery and that bead trimming must have cost pile.'
 Hand embroidery!" calculated Miss Connolly. That's all you know about it, Jen. I was over to look at Names clothes Tuesday evening and 1 felt of it good, and 1t wasn't no more hand embroidery than nothing"
 Well, she must "a got corner on this years crop of beads" said Miss Frizkie. What do you think I said to the lady that was standin' next to me when Name came into the parlor? give her a dig with my elbow and 1 says, Say I says, Name must have got mixed in her dates and thought she was a Christmas tree
 My! The lady got as red as any thing. I designed that gown, she says, snitfng up her nose at me, mad as she could be.
 'Land 1 just faded away like I'd been blown off the landscape"
 It's a pity you couldn't learn not to have such rude manners, Jen," said Miss Connolly.
 'T guess if 1 could just learn to shut up and keep shut up it would help some," agreed Miss Frizkie, good naturedly
 Name didn't have such an awful lot of presents as l thought she would" Miss Larson opened her eyes long enough to remark. II kind of thought she'd have a lot more'n what she did"
 Some of em was expensive though, I guess" said Miss Frizkie Now, I bet that cut glass pitcher and them glasses cost $20.'
 "Nix on that" said Miss Connolly, decidedly. T picked up every one of em and run my finger over 'em and they wasn't sharp like cut glass ought to be They was real smooth"
 Well, that shows how you can fool me-" Miss Frizkie admitted. But then I'd whole lot rather have a showy set like that than some little dinky piece that wouldn't make no show at all.'
 Same here" said Miss Larson Anybody would, of course. l guess Names mas folks are pretty we'll fixed anyway. Her mas brother gave her that dandy set of knives and forks that was layin' upon the dress CT with the plates with the hand painted fruit design up 'em.'
 "Nothin' much to them," said Miss Connolly. II guess they didn't cost moren about $5. They was plated and it wasn't a flrst-class plate, either"
 "Plated?" cried Frizkie. How do you know they were plated?'
 Why, I took 'em out and looked at them," replied Miss Connolly, placid ly. You can't fool me. All the sill yer things there was plated except that little pickle fork that the two Ryan girls give her, and l seen them on sale last week over to Green
