THE LITTLE BRIDE AGAIN.
A dear little bride in a railway carriage was like most little brides in desiring to avoid identification as such. The husband went out to get some refreshment at a stopping place. An old lady opposite talked to her. ”Y ou are lately married, my dear. I know.’* she said, kindly. ”Oh. no, we have been married a long time.’* returned the younger woman. briskly. ”Ah. excuse me. You are so young and you seem so happy.” ”Oh. we have been married eight, yes. eight years.” •’Have you any—” “Oh” (blushing furiously i. •‘no!” •*TVe!I. well! And I thought at first that you were on your honeymoon.” ”Oh. no. My husband will tell you —here he comes—that we have been married eight years. Haven’t we. ”Yes. yes, certainly.” he replied. "P>o you know. Katie.” he added with a wriggle. *T have some of that awful rice down my back yet.”
