You certainly live and learn, but, my
goodness. it's not possible TO know
everything, is It? / have been astounded
for several days over a story recently
heard from the wee bird. The bird was
out at luncheon and was talking to a
bride-to-be, who has since been married.
All the girls were eagerly asking ques'
tlons of her about her wedding plans.
What are you going to wear? How will
You arrange your veil? And a dozen
other questions. Well, she answered
Them all satisfactorily until the bird re-
marked, What flowers are you going to
earry?" The bride laughed and said'
It's funny, but you know 1 don't
know!" well, don't know" said the
bird; Il suppose wants to surprise
you with them; there is so much cut and
cried in the wedding preparations OF to-
oay; he probably wants you to guess
about something" "Oh, no, that's not
~ said the bride. Neither Of us know
What they are to be-you see an old
peau OF mine has asked II he might send
me my bouquet, so 1 am letting him.
what on earth do you think OF that
my dears? Do you know, even though
laughed over 1t, somehow 1t does not
seem so awfully funny. To me it's bit
sad' but then perhaps Nancy and her lit
" bird friend have old-fashioned ideas
soout love and the JOY Of having ones
bridal bouquet from the One Man. Well
maybe we are old-fashioned, but I'm
rather glad to be II carrying flowers at
Vhes wedding received from former
snitor in preference to the accepted one,
the new-fashioned way to do.
NANCY wYNNE.
