The Winner.

There are brides and brides and
after all of them we often hear some
one speak longingly of "the old-fash-
Toned BRIDE" but the other day we met
one who certainly beat all the old
fashioned ones we had ever heard Of.
She was in a furniture store hunting
the furniture to put in their new
home. The clerk was vainly trying to
talk her into buying some which she
felt that they could not afford. AS
a particular lnducement he said: "But
really this is wonderful bargain, you
can't afford to let 1t CO."
The girl smiled at him. "But can't
afford to buy IT." she returned in a
perfect good humor, "and besides I've
got such a wonderful husband that
don't need other wonderful things
not even bargains"
