Show ' wmrnra joke that taxlzs. Detroit Fret' Pfessl' " " " ." , "A practical Joke 1 something; like ft firecracker," said a New York bridegroom, bride-groom, "it may start out all right and then refuse to- go off. When wt were married, two or three men that wt know made great threats about dolnr us op -as bride and groom; so, of course," wt were in much apprehension, fearful lest our trunks be painted white, or have blr wedding bells of bags of rice tacked all over them. Nothing of this kind' happen eed, however, and wt reached our destination, after the-wedding Journey, apparently undetected at -all events unmolested.- - ..-.-"In a few days, I received from the postmaster of our home city, a notification notifica-tion that a bir package of mall was held there for me, the same to be forwarded when sufficient postage was paid. On my remittance, there came along about ont doten huge cards which our Interested, Inter-ested, fun-loving friends had fixed up for our harassment. The cards were heavily printed with' black paint with these announcements: . "Wt art newly married," 'Make way for tht bridt and rroomr 'Here comet a wedding" party, etc.' But tht funny old boys who rot them up and directed them to us at all tht -hotels along our possible wedding route made tht fatal m la take of put-tinr put-tinr only one-cent stamps on the big bridal posters, and they didn't meet us worth a cent. .. - . ' ' "Wt are holding them, though; and tht first man of that, crowd "who rets married will have tht pleasure of eating eat-ing his own words, so to speak, with sufficient postage. In the meantime, tht bridal cards look very decorative hung on tht wall In our pretty little reception-room.".- : - ' ' . |
