Quite Too Cautious.

Philadelphia Record. A well-to do young Philadelphian of a somewhat sensitive disposition left for Florida, recently, on his honey moon. I He regis tered with-his bride, who was accompanied by her maid, at one of St. Augustine’s palace hotels. The young couple imagined they would feel much more at ease if the fact that they were but recently wed was kept a secret, they agreeing that their actions should in no way afford a cue to curious or inquisitive people. So they earnestly admonished the maid not to tell anyone that they had just been married, warning her of the consequences if the fact should become known about the hotel. Everything went along smoothly for three days, and then the young couple suddenly discovered to their dismay that they were being closely scrutinized by every guest in the house. In the dining room scornful looks were cast at them by the ladies, and there was no mistaking the fact that they were the subject of considerable comment, which they felt certain was uncomplimentary. They held a consultation and called the maid. She was closely questioned as to whether she had answered any queries concerning them, and after a good deal of fencing, finally blurted out: “They kept telling me that you were just Tnarried, and I got mad and told them they were liars, that you weren’t married at all.”
