OF WEDDINGS. od Nes BY ROSE TERRY COOKE ‘From Harper's Bazar. “You don’t say 802” Grandma Pine looked sharply over her spectacles at pretty Nanny Campbell, who sat at her feet on an old-fashioned “cricket,” the blaze of the open fire playing on her bright blushing face, and lend- ing a richer shade of gold to the crown of fuffy hair that hid her white foreiead. Nanny had come up to Traverse to spend Thanks. giving with her grandparent. She came the day before, bur her father and mother could not leave ll the next morning. Dr. Campbell was too busy ‘@ man to spare more than 3.day from his practice; and Nanny Wag giad (o4 for she hada great plece of yaygs ty tll a. Yes, with a deeper glow than the firelight on her drooping face, she imparted the wonderful intelligence that she Was engaged to Jack Norton, and was going to be married on Christinas, Now grandma wasnot really much surprised, for Jack Norton was the son of Dr. Campbell's oldest and vest friend, and the children had known each other always. Grandma, with the forecasting wisdom of old ladies, had Prophesied to herself this result years ago, yet she thought she was surprised to fad her proph- ecy fulfilled, Perhaps it never would have been had Nanny And Jack lived next door to each other always; ‘but when they were yet children Mr. Norton had left Ridgefield and gone to Boston to live. And Jack, moreover, had been sent to Germany for his preparatory studies, and to England for his col- Jegtate education, so he was as good as a stranger ‘when he cme home to share his father's business; and when he saw pretty Nanny, who had blos- Somed from @ plain angular little girl into a lovely young Woman, he fell in love with her after the 00d old fashion, and she returned his passion ‘with all the faith and fervor of a girl's first serious affection, They had deen engaged several months, but Nanny had not announced the fact to any but her father and motner.

A Wealthy Woman Witha Mania for whe Runs His Economy—The Mouse by Clock What a lucky thing itis that the people in this World of ours are not all ailke, says the Boston Herald. There would no scandal, no gossip, noth- Ing to talk about, no relish or zest in life, if «ll our neighbors looked upon things from our point of view, and always agreed with us in every ques tion that arose. Now, there, for instance, is old Mra. Welling, of No. 990 Commonweaith avenue, whose figure is as well known in soctety as Dr. Johnson's was on the pavements of London. She has her pecultar- ities, like the rest of us, and Is so far conscious of them that she laughs with everybody at the con- sequences they bring upon her head. With a good position, plenty of money, an induigent husband, and no reason on earth for anything of the kind, she has a positive monomania for economizing, and the maneuvers she goes through and the suf- fering she endures to save a single penny would be simply ludicrous if they did not occupy her whole Ume and attention to the exclusion of more im- portant affairs.

Dr. Everett Adams did not forget his admiration for the “first brid maid” when U wedding was over. | He became more and more devoted, and the Bext September society in b— was pleased but not Surprised to hear his eng: ent to Miss Van Alstyne announced. By a rather odd coincidence their wedding too was fixed for Christmas Eve. Alida Van Alstyne was very wealthy, if she was very sensible. She hadas many “maids” toattend her as Nanny Campbell and she gave them their dresses. ‘They were of high in the neck and long-sleeved, the quaintly cut basques trimmed with white tur, a broad band of it edging the short full skirts; poke bounets of ‘the saine satin, wreathed with short white ostrich Ups and bunches of white roses on the leit shottider, completed the charming and wari cos umes. Not one among the pretty group had ever looked 80 pretty or been more comfortable.
