Well Meant, but Rude.

The wedding was over and the guests had departed, when a terrific din broke upon the stillness. The tooting of fish horns, the beating of tin pans, and the ringing of cow bells could be distinguished clear-, ly, while agonizing screeches from unidentified Instruments and the diabolical noise produced by drawing a scantling across one edge of a dry goods box contributed their share to the volume of sound. The bride, a young woman recently from Boston, tur pale. “Harold,” she said, turning to the bridegroom, “those friends of yours doubtless mean well, and I appreciate their heartiness and sincerity, but I shall consider it a great favor if you will go out and request them to discontinue their eplthalamlum. It is quite too boisterous and may attract attention.”—Chicago Tribune.
