But perhaps the Countess didn’t mean to suggest anything uncompii- mentary. “At what church will ue ‘ceremony take place’ as the news- papers say? she went on, “Is it to be @ fashionable one?” “No,” replied Smith, shortly, “Wed- | dings in fashionable churches are silly uniess there's to be a crowd; and my wife and I are going to collect our circle after we're married.
