AN EFFECTIVE CLOTURE.

A lady entered railroad car and took
seat in front of newly married couple and
was hardly seated before they began max
ing remarks about her.
Her last years bonnet and coat were
fully criticised with more or less giggling
on the brides part and there is no telling
what might have come next if the lady had
not put sudden stop to the conversation
by a bit of strategy.
She turned her head, noticed that the
bride was considerably older than the
groom, and in the Smoothest of tones said:
Madam. will you please ask your son
to close the windew?
The"son' closed his mouth and the bride
no longer giggled" New York American
