GETTING MARRIED.
)i,.w Nice dil ls Behave When One of Their
S* t Marries.
Youth's Companion.
Evelina in engaged. Indeed, she in
shortly to be married. Her “set,” of
whom she 1h the first to take this impor
tant step, are greatly fluttered by the
approaching event, and talk it over on
every possible occasion.
Hue of them nays it is dreadful for an
v.iiknown man to come from away out
West and carry off one of their girls.
They will never see her again—never!
wiM come home to visit, probably;
but a girl who is married tell “him”
everything, and the lost interest in peo
ple. and isn’t the same at all; and they
,„ a \ as well make up their minds to lose
her. once for all.
Here there is a chorus of sights and
groans, and another nice girl says he
isn't much to look at, either, she has
seen his photograph. He has pale eyes,
and a ridiculous little mustache that she
knows by his looks that he is extremely
proud of. Why Evelina wants him she
enn't imagine. He isn't handsome, or
I lieli. or heroic, or anything else interest
ing. He is just a common-place young
man.
Some one here timidly ventures to re
mark that Evelina is nothing very re
markable herself, and, perhaps a com
monplace young man will exactly suit
her. .
Silence follows this observation, and
the person who at length breaks it dis
creetly selects another branch of the in
exhaustible subject: Does anybody
know anything about the trousseau? It
appears that they all do, but the infor
mation possessed by one exactly agrees
-with that of no one else, and it is half an
Pour before they have sifted out the pro
bable truth from amass of conflicting ac
counts, all given at once and very loud.
When this most important point has
been debated and settled, they take
another half hour to ex press tlieir amuse
ment at the idea of Evelina's act ually
kit lug house; they say it is nearly as
absurd as to call her Mrs.
They then discuss the coming cere
mony, ami each gives at length a des
cription of thf manner in which her own
wedding should be conducted were she to
marry. Several of the girls say they
s’ t u 1 < 1 like to marry just to show their
what a wedding ought to be.
One remarks that she, too, would like
i that she might demonstrate to every
-I>i by that a bi ide need not be pale and
cc: say “I will*’ loud enough to be heard
I vend the first three rows, if she will
only make up her mind beforehand to
do it.
Then Evelina’s marriage really takes
piece. Sim is very pale, indeed, and too
nervous to attend properly to her train.
I’llt her friends forgave her these little
errors of conduct and admit that on the
whole she did very well. One of them
who steps down to the station and
st ;m<ls behind a pillar to see her start off
with her husband for their new home,
ever, says afterward that she had almost
forgiven her for choosing him.
lh‘ looked as commonplace as ever,
declares; only, when two people seem
{,s happy as they did, somehow you
buve to forgive them everything, and she
topes the other girls will stay single for
a Ling time to come; but, as to Mrs.
I v- iina, she wishes her good luck with
all her heart.
I his is about the way nice gilds behave
when one of their number makes a com
monplace young man happy.
