On the morning

Oh ShC ling VI
January 18th, there appeared in the
Toronto Globe the following notice
"Married-On the 10th inst, Miss
Virginia Schofield and Major Paul c.
Churchill, at the First Baptist church
by the Rev. A. E. Watson
A letter to Henry SchOfield, OF
Paris, announcing the event, soon
brought a reply, for Virginia was, as
Uncle Henry declared, the only one
left for him to take care of. He
wrote very effusively of his delight al
her wedding and proposed that il
Paul and she were to locate in Paris
and grow up with the country he
would bestow upon them such a gift
as would enable them to have a nice
home and live comfortably the rest
of their days.
This" wrote Henry, twill be my
wedding gife to you. I don't know
anything better for you to do, for
Paris has a delightful, wholesome
social life you will like, I know, and
with its wonderful, wealthy farming
community around, is growing fast
In fact, Paris is the most suitable
place for a young couple to start in
life that 1 know Of"
About ten days subsequently a
travel-wOrn party arrived in Paris
Henry, although 60 years of age, was
on hand at the L. & N. depot to
greet the couple, and as he shook
hands with both of them at once, his
face once more showed the CLEAN OF
youth and his feet were as spry as
he CALAMITY directed the, party to his
machine standing nearby.
WELL" said Uncle Henry, as they
rode over to the home, Il hope you
young folks enjoyed your trip South.
Didn't you find it little tiresome ?'
Il should say not" replied Virginia,
Il never enjoyed a trip more in my
life. We had cold weather all the
way down, of course, but the scenery
was the most beautiful 1 have ever
seen. 1t was simply grand"
I'm glad you had such nice
trip" said Henry, though 1 guess
you were glad to get here. Well,
here we are, and 1 have your rooms
already prepared for you"
This is the Hotel Windsor" said
uncle, as they entered. "They have
such a comfortable hostelry, and on
the American plan. They have NJ
rooms nicely furnished, that every
body that comes here says there
isn't more home-like hotel in this
part of the State. I've reserved a
suite for you ON the second floor and
you'll soon be fixed as comfortable as
can be-"
The party was cordially greeted by
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert C. Goggin, the
genial prOprietors, after which the
young folks were shown to their
suite, which greatly pleased Virgin
la by the comfort of it's furnishings.
Virginia and Paul appeared at 6
O'Clock, feeling much improved after
removing the stains of travel and a
short nap, and after enjoying one of
the Windsor's famous Sunday even
Ing dinners in the dining room they
repaired to the parlor, where Vir-
ginia entertained for an hour with
the brilliancy of her musical rendi-
tionS.
Il know I'm going to enjoy it
here," she said, as leaving the par
lor they entered their suite, "for we
have such lovely accommodations
here and everything seems to be so
Immediately clean. It's just as
comfy as can be-"
Il thought you would like it," re-
piled Henry.
The older you get the more you
will learn to appreciate good
hotel" said he. II have lived here
ever since your Aunt Jennie died,
and l certainly appreciate Mr.. Cog
gins efforts to make one feel so
thoroughly at home Their. dining
room cuisine, if you notice, was
above the average, as it is under the
charge of an able chef, whose years
of experience amply qualify him to
satisfy the epicurian demands of a
discriminating public. You know
this is one of the oldest hotels in
Kentucky, being formerly known as
The Bourbon House, and during it's
prime, was the centre of the ultra
social activities for 100 miles
around, as many an old Bourbon
Fair dance has been held here, by
those who have gone beyond 1t has
had the honor of being host to An
drew Jackson, General Winfield
Scott, the Breckinridges, the Clays,
the Bedfords, the Millers and many
others and in the old stage coach
days, it was favOrite rest between
Lexington and Maysville. I don't
care how elegantly hotel is
furnished, one never feels at home if
the wrong man is at the head of it,
