have seen at once that her destiny

ents were of do help whatever; they
would oaly say that whichever of the
two young men Charlotte preferred
would be sattofnetory .to (hem. Tlw
fact was that both the Johns bad

As for the rival lovers, whatever
they may have had of deadly anl-
moaity lurking in their hearts, out­
wardly they were as friendly as could
be wished, and played the game open­
ly and squarely.
To be perfectly
candid they were both a trifle con­
ceited and each felt a considerable
degree of confidence that bls own
superior merits would, finally, become
so apparent to the lovely Charlotte
that she could hardly fall to give him
the preference.
Charlotte began to realise that It
was sbout time she came to a de­
cision.
She had been holding die

now.
she was . perfectly sure that
she wanted one of them and she had
begun to realise that by dallying too
long she might possibly lose them
both.
Yes, she mast 'make a decision.
She went into conference with herself
and concluded that, in all probability,
she liked John Hawksbury beet He
had sung a little love song to her
the night before which touched her
heart.
The two Johns were accus­
tomed to propose at regular inUfvals
and Charlotte said to herself: “Yaa, I
think the next time Hawkabury pro­
poses I had better accept him. Let
me see—that would be next Wednes­

Roman Wedding »
Among ancient writers on the sub-
ject of the “Weddlhg Cake," Quintus
Curtins Is probably the most definite
and reliable, for he quotes clearly the
laws of Romulus, based upon those of
the Etruscans and tin* other races
whose advent preceded the founds
tlon of Rame. In those days It ap
pears to have been customary for the
families of the "young people” to en
ter Into certain prenuptial agreements
for the fdture provision of their son
and daughter—much as "showers" are
given to a bride at the present time.
These agreements were ratified at the
marriage festival, and accompanied by
a lavish outpouring of corn, oil and
other kinds of flood, a ceremony which
practically constituted the wedding
itself.
