Most mar ried women repent at leisure, whether they married In haste or took their time about It. "I sometimes think that the longer an unmarried woman contemplates the man she is going to marry, the less she knows about him.

I'd have my whis kers and hair trimmed, and my shoes shined, and my teeth manicured, and I'd be wearing a collar as white aa the driven snow, and a handkerchief In keeping. It seemed the natural and proper thing to do, yet I was working a flimflam game with th# best Inten tions In the world. “The more Arabella considered me, the more she was convinced that I was a marvelously neat and tidy man, and she was so Impressed that she married me without the slightest hesitation.

Charles C, Pinckney was one of three envoys sent by the United States ie France -hi «5T. to settle disputes which had arisen between France and the United States. The American grievance was caused by the seizure of American vessels by France. The French grievance was that commercial privileges had been granted to England. Talleyrand, the French foreign minis ter, refused to receive the envoys, but It had been conveyed to them by secret agents that before any settlement could be reached It would be neces sary for the United States to pay a large sum of money, which was, In fact, little more than a bribe. It was then that Pinckney made his fa mous declaration that the United had "millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute.” Much Affected. “Come, now!
