Mrs, Vandyke Brown (ajsthclic) : “Well, you’re the last person I should have thought of meeting here,. Mr. Smith! I thought you hated pictures.” Smith (rosaic): “So I do; I detest ’em. Must do ’em though—subject for conversation. Hate music, too—must do opera, though ; same reason.” They had been married but. a fortnight—one happy, happy fourteen days —and were spending the honeymoon at beautious Shanklin. As they sat side by side on the soft sands, while the sun shown gently o’er her fair head, and the wavelets lapped musically at their feet, Anuelina address Edwin with a pretty pout. “Do put down that stupid paper, and pay me a little attention,” said the bride. “My ownest” said the bridegroom, .“I’m paying you as little as I possibly can.”
