btk e Wedding “Well, what did you think of the weddin’?” cried Miss Connelly as she bounced into the car. “Beg pardon, Stell, for steppin’ on you,” she contin- ued, stumbling over Miss Larson's feet and lunging into a seat next to that young person, Miss Larson opened one sleepy eye. *“Oh, did you step on me?" she droned, vawning widely and undisguisedly. *1 didn’t know 1t.” “Sure I did." responded Miss Con- nelly. “I thought I'd better wake you up and tell you about it. You can go to sleep again now.” Miss Larson opened the other eye. “I wasn't sleep, Nell Connelly,” she said, indignantly. *I guess a person’s got a right to shut their eyes if they want to. My eyes ain't very strong and the light hurts 'em,” “Don't let's waste our perfectly good time fightin’ with each other this wmorning,” sald Miss Connelly. “If we do we won't have any time left to knock the weddin'.” “Say,” began Miss Frizkie eagerly, “didn’t you pretty near die over the " way Mame's hair was fixed?

All that hand embroidery and that bead trimming must have cost a pile.” “Hand embroidery!” ejaculated Miss Connelly. “That’s all you know about it, Jen.

The lady got as red as any- thing. ‘I designed that gown,’ she says, sniffing up her nose at me, mad as she could be. ‘It's modeled atter a gown ! that was imported straight trom Paris and you couldn’t find its duplicate In Chicago. I'm a high-priced modiste,’ she says, ‘besides being Miss Peter- son's own aunt.’ “Land! I just faded away Iike I'd been blown off the landscape.” “it's a pity you couldn’t learn not to have such rude manners, Jen,” said Miss Connelly. “I guess if I could just learn to shut up and keep shut up it would help some,” agreed Miss Frizkie, good-na- turedly. “Mame dldn’t have such an awful lot of presents as [ thought she would,” Miss Larson opened her eyes long enough to remark "1 kind of thought she'd have a lot more'n what she did." “Some of 'em was expensive, though, I guess,” said Miss Frizkie. “Now, 1 bet that cut glass pitcher and them glasses cost twenty dollars.” “Nix on that,” said Miss Connelly, decidedly. 1 picked up every one of ‘em and run my ftinger over ‘em, and they wasn’t sharp like cut glass ought to be. They was real smooth.” “Well, that shows how you can fool me,” Miss Frizkle admitted. “But then I'd a whole lot rather have a showy set like that than some little dinky plece that wouldn't make no show at all.” “Same here,” sald Miss Larson. “Anybody would, of course.

They was plated and it wasn't first-class plate, elther.” “Plated?” cried Miss Frizkie. do you know they was plated?” “Why, I took 'em out and looked at them,” replied Miss Connelly, placidly. “You can't fool me. All the sliver things there was plated except that little pickle fork that the two Hyan girls gave her.” “My!
