329 A Wedding. HE wedding was solemnized in a floating chapel built for the occasion. This clever ruse was made necessary by the bride having only limited divorces @ which did not permit her to marry again anywhere except on the high seas, and also by the groom not daring to come within the jurisdiction of the courts of New York. His effulgence, the extremely right reverend bishop of the diocese, conducted the ceremony, and was never more felicitous, When he pronounced the benediction on the kneeling pair, the aristocratic congregation were deeply affected, and cheered loudly. The bishop thanked them feelingly in behalf of himself and Jehovah. Daring theceremony the ushers passed highballs and cigarettes, a chic innova- tion especially welcomed by the younger women present, who were not accus- tomed to sitting so long without drinking or smoking. Another new feature was the cake- walk recessional, When it seen to what advantage this enabled the bride to display her exquisite lingerie, great surprise was expressed that nobody had thought of it before.

HE Korean merchant coming over to America to get idols made for his heathen cus- tomers is a thorongh, albeit late vindication of Christianity against the aspersions of the Demetrius who persuaded the silversmiths of Ephesus that Paul's religion would hurt their business, We have no reason to feel ashamed of our religion, from the point of view of trade. Vastly more money has been made by Christians than by the adherents of any other religious system. A Mistake. 7 EW ARRIVAL: I, sir, was a TRICK FOR TRICK Brigadier-General in the Amer- “acu!
