A bridal couple who put in several days recently taking iu the sights of the capi tal enjoyed themselves immensely until tho day preceding their departure. It then occurred to the bride that she had not called upon "deal Fanny," who had been her chum during her days at the seminary. Now, Fanny was still enjoy itig single blessedness, and this may have had something to do with the anxiety of the bride to call npon her tnaidcu chum, lieorge demurred feebly, but at last con sented to pay a formal call. The bride dressed hctsell iu u fetching gown and placed upon her saucy heard a Parisian dream in I ho way of a hat. The hat was one of thoso indescribable creations of the milliner's art, a mass of flowers wilh a bird or two partially concealed in tbc foli age, so to speak. The pair went gagly forth aud in a hotel coupe were soon at the door of Fanny's residence. Their cards were taken and they were ushered into the drawing room. While awaiting the com ing of her ft ienti the bride's attention was attracted to a large cage containing a splendid parrot. She chirruped cooingly to the imprisoned bird and wi-hed she might take him out of bis cage and ciress mm, deurgo remarked that he 1 inked tame enough and suggested the opening of the door of the sage. Suiting the action to the word, he opened the door and the released bird calmly walked forth and strutled ab"Ut, blinking bis beady eyes knowingly. The bride, with usual c ills of "Pull, pretty Poll!" coaxed the bird toward her, and poll proceeded to iuib up the rounds of the chair upon which the lady was silting and perched er-elf upon the arm of the chair. The irrot uttered guttural cries of "Polly, 'oily," this word seemingly comprising r entire vocabulary. The bird accepted tho caresses, and apparently a t was serene, but without an instant s warning she uttered a scream of rage aud Hew at the lady's headgear, ighting fairly thereon, and then for a minutes the mr was ul!ed wall uyu g athers and bits of fl iwers, while tl e iiiii-p!ere was Iralur-u by scroti!!. s from the bti le and diseonlant cries fn in the patrol, lieorge attempted to come the rescue and had his face badly serai, li.-'l l- r Ins pains I he lady dually onk the bird Iiiomi fi.im the fl wi-r gar n she was wearing upon her hat and in nie one wil l da-li I "r tlielr-'til door, .owed closely by the bridegiooiu. Once on the pavement, they became somewhat Minposed and determined to return to their hotel to repair damages. They did not tarry long enough tosee"deat Fanny." The sudden wrath of the bird w evidently caused, (leorgc thought upon fjeciiiiu during calmer moments, by the fact that amid the flowers in his wife's hat there nestled a stuffed Carolina par ked, which the parrot took to be a real live rival and proceeded forthwith to tnolish.
