WOULDN'T HAVE IT.
An American hotelkecper, according to a United States authority, thought it useful and justifiable to address a newly-married couple thus:-" Going to stay hero a day or two ]" " Yes." Having registered at my hotel you (robably intend to remain there V " Yes, sir." " Well, I want to say a word to you. I don't want any duckydeary nonsense around my house. I want no squeezing hands on the balconies, or feeding each other at the table." The groom let his hand fall from his bride's waist in a slow and painful manner, and the stranger continued—" The first time you call her peaches and cream, or she calls you darling, out you go !" "Y-yes, sir." " She's no sweeter than ten thousand other girls, and you are no moie of a darling than I am, and I won't stand love-sick nonsense." He walked away.
