Quietly one morning, in the presence of intimate friends, and quite in the old-fashioned way, the two pairs of lovers walked up the church aisle to the minister in waiting. The ladies wore rich traveling-suits, and carriages waited to convey the immediate members of the family to the wedding breakfast.
There were the young ladies in trim traveling-suits, in what is called compact fighting trim; ladies in mourning; ladies in winter wraps; ladies in Scotch wraps; young men with shawl-straps and opera-glasses, standing, legs astride, consulting maps and imparting information; the usual sweet pale girl with a bundle of cat-tails and a decorative intention; and the nonchalant young man in a striped English boating cap, who nevertheless spoke American when he said anything.

Then, with hands that stung, Helen packed the traveling-suits in the bag. "There! But what an awful mess!" exclaimed Helen. "Oh, Bo, our pretty traveling-dresses!" "We'll press them t-to-morrow on a l-log," replied Bo, and she giggled. They started for the road. Bo, strange to note, did not carry her share of the burden, and she seemed unsteady on her feet.
