Brides First Mistake.

An amusing incident recently took
place in a hotel at a popular seaside re-
sort. At one of the tables in the writ
ing room sat the young and charming
Mrs. Newlywed busily engaged on a
letter. Suddenly she stopped, laid
down her pen and gazed out of the
window; then she stared at the ceiling,
evidently deep in thought. Finally she
made number of jottings on the blot
ter beside her, examined them careful
" and at length resumed her letter.
A base and uncalled for curiosity
prompted the correspondent to take his
seat at that table not long afterward.
On the blotter. each word followed by
a formidable question mark, was the
mysterious inscription: "Happynes?
Happiness? Happyness?" And, alas,
Mrs. n. had made the first mistake in
her married life. The first two words
had a determined line drawn through
them.-GlaSgOW News.
