Tho recent wedding In New-,Yorkn at which tho bridesmaids wero rppro- sentativo of six nationalities, and j each felicitated tho bride in tho .Ian. guago of her own country, was ah odd affair, but probably not-so well, received as the speech of a young Englishman who was called upon to-toast to-toast "The bridesmaids." Apprised of his ordeal In advanco ho had devised an escape, and with S tho single statement that silence was ' golden be brought from his pocket a set of gold bangles, which ho bestowed bestow-ed upon tho attendants of tho brido. At a wedding feast at Dol, In Normandy, Nor-mandy, Hie demand for a speech re- suited in the production of a guitar, upon which tho speaker accompanied himself while ho chanted tho praises of the bride. Had he stopped thcro all would havo been well, but he changed to a praise of his store, and the, guescs threw him out of tho house. Doubtless a similar fate should ' have befallen tho sharpshooter who wrote the name of the bride upon tho wall with pistol bullets, to tho serious damage of tho wall paper. Almost as odd was tho performanco of a German music hall performer, who, when called upon for entertainment, entertain-ment, mounted tho table upon his hands and balanced himself upon ( glasses, cups and other furnishings. , New York Herald. a |
