Wedding of the Future.

Here’s a sample of a wedding notice ten years hence, as foreseen by the Atchison Globe: “The bride looked very well in a traveling dress, but-all eyes were centered on the groom. He wore a dark suit that fitted perfectly his manly form, a large bouquet decorated his coat lapel and in his daintily gloved hand he carried a bouquet of American beautiesi His hair was cut close and a delicate odor of barbers’ oil floated down the aisle as he passed. The young people will miss him now that he is married. He is loved by all for his many accomplishments, his tender graces and his winning, ways. The bride commands a good salary as a bookkeeper in St. Joseph and the groom will miss none of the luxuries to which be had been accustomed. A crowd of pretty young men saw them off at the depot. The driest place in the world is said to be that part of Egypt between the two lower falls of the Nile. Rain has never been known to fall there, and the natives do not believe travelers when told that water falls from the sky.
