A recent wedding at Williamsport, Pa., bad a gloom cast over it by the discovery that, through some unaccountable mistake, the bridesmaid had been married instead of the intended bride.

A voice at a Chicago wedding interrupted the ceremony with, "I say it is the devil that has joined them, and the Lord hasn't had anything to do with it." The fugitive remark was from the bride's mother s**

Ho*vdid Ev«f get those hobbies A man grabs quilts and sheets at one clutch, yanks them down and dives into bed, but a woihan carefully turns down each cover, smooths off the pillow, tucks down the foot, and slides under the sheet as softly as a turtle from a log.

A large number of

young ladiea are studying stenography, but few as yet have become shorthand reporters. About twenty-five do the work of an amanuensis at salariee from 950 to 9100 per month. Mias Alios O. Note baa been engaged as shorthand court reporter for the past two years, commanding |1500 the first year.

American girts who Visit Europe xaranot fail to observe that they enjoy fat more liberty than falls to the lot of their European sisters. That frank intercourse between youth and maiden, tbat so gladdens our eyes at*home, is jthere nowhere to be seen. No pretty •oibool girl trips .to school with her devoted boy cavalier carrying her books bcMilde her.. No, young .wal ks^ out wHb partner at last night's German, to talk over the evening at leisure. No tparkling girl beanty sits surrounded by attendant alavea at the opera or a ball. The European girl is no better than a wooden puppet, polled about by bidden wires, and kept perpetually in a box. And this is the state of affairs tbat some demoralized imitators would fain see introduced at home. Profiting by the existence of those exceptional beings known as1 "fast girls"—the few tbat have turned fair freedom into unbridled license—they strive to prove our system a failure—forgetting that in one short century ot existence Ut has produced a aystem, beneath whose work ings the most timid maiden may prom enade the most crowded thoroughfares Of our great cities at all hours of the day, unmolested and unquestioned, or may journey through the length and breadth of our union in peace and safety, and it is not to be iightly oon demned. The woman in America who goes forth without a protector baa, instead of that one guardian, a million. It would be safer for an American girl to journey unescorted from New York to San Francisco, thsn it would be for her to promenade the boulevards alone, on a sunny afternoon, from the 'Madeleine to the Porte St, Denis. -inin''j

MARK TWAIN'S TIGHT BOOTS.

From the January Atlantic. Once, when I was a callow, bashful oUb, I took a plain, unsentimental girl a comedy one night. I had known her a day she seemed divine I wore my new boots. A,t the .end of the first half hour she said: "Why do you fidget so with your feet?" I said,' Did I?" Then I put my attention there and kept still. At the end of another half hour she said,

Why do you say 'Yes, O yes,' and 'Ha, ha 0, certainly! very true 1' to everything I say, when half the time those are entirely irrelevant answers?" I blushed, and explained that I had been a little absent minded. At the end of another half hour she said, "Please, why do you grin 30 steadfastly st vacancy, and yet look so sad?" I explained that I always did that when I was reflecting. An hour passed, and then she turned and contemplated me with her earnest oves and said, "Why do youcry all the lie?" I explained that very funny comedies always made me cry. At last human nature surrendered, and I secretly slipped my boots off. This was a mistake. I was not able to get them on again. It was a rainy night, and there were no omnibuses going our way and ss I walked home, burning up with shame, with the girl on one arm and my boots under the other, I was an object of compassion—especially in those moments of martyrdom when 1 had to pass through the glare tbat fell upon the pavement from ibe street lamps. Finally this child of the forest ssid, "Where are your boots?" and being unprepared. I put a fitting finish to the follies of the evening with the stupid remark, "The higher class do not wear boots to the theater."
