Beyond all doubt the pretty Irish bride is the rage of the hour.,"Papa will not thank me for making a noise.","Night has always the effect of making bad look worse," says Doatie with a sad attempt at cheerfulness. "Never mind; morning will soon be here again.","Yep, she's engaged to Jeffries," announced Griffin with great enjoyment. "Has Elinor heard?
