will be a wedding after the usual cut
and dried fashion. 1t happened this
way; a young man of the 100 or 125
: dollar salary class suddenly began to
devote himself pretty exclusively to a
good looking West side girl. Every
time he set himself to considering the
question of proposing marriage to her
( he got d vision of himself in evening
dress nervously parading to the
strains of Lohengrin. and his fortitude
broke down in front of that prospect
Finally he did ask the girl to marry
him, but he stayed nobIy by her after
her consent was given, in an effort to
convert her to his no-show theory. He
explained that he could not bring him

of satin and lace and tulle, rented
palms, flowers and music, craning

The young man sailed home in a big
bubble of air. Then he came to earth
in time to figure up the cost of
runaway marriage and a housekeep-

footed it up. The figures scared him
half to death. He wadded up the
paper and threw it on the bureau,
where it remained until the next day,
when his mother tidied up the room.
She read it and calculated pretty ac-
curately what it meant Then she

ding will come off all right, but it will
be strictly according to the rules laid
down in the Ladies' Home Journal, and
the low cost of weddings will lose an
other champion.
