Show George Ade, at a picnic in a beechen grove at Hazelton farm, his splendid property in Brook, Ind., said of matrimony: "Strange is the instinctive dread that some men have of this institution. "Once, in a parlor car, a young bride said to her husband: " 'Jim, dear, our romance began in a parlor car. Did you know it?' " 'No. How so? asked Jim. ' 'Well,', said the young bride, 'you had your feet up, dear, and I measured you for that pair of red velvet slippers embroidered with the pink roses you know, don't you? that was the beginning, be-ginning, dearie.' "At this a young bachelor across the aisle who had his feet up was seen to shudder and draw them quickly down." Cincinnati Enquirer. aHBMBHHWaflaBHHBBHi |
