Rura l Simplicity.

Country Bride (in dry-goods stofe) —I want to look at some summer silks. Clerk —Yea, ma’am. We have them in all shades —elephant’s breath, London smoke, terrapin’s memory. Browning’s muse, animal fat, shrimp pink, onion gin, pug’s nose, copper red—all the latest styles, ma’am, and warranted to wash. Country Bride—Oh, I don’t want anything fancy. Show me a plain red an’ yaller plaid — New York Sun.
