ELSIE AT THE WORLD'S FAIR. CHAPTER I. HUGH LILBURN was very urgent with his be trothed for a speedy marriage, pleading that as her brother had robbed him and his father of their expected housekeeper-his cousin Marian-he could not long do without the wife who was to supply her place. Her sisters, Isadore and Virginia, who had come up from the far South to be present at the ceremony, joined with him in his plea for haste. They wanted to see her in her own home, they said, and that without remaining too long away from theirs. Ella finally yielded to their wishes so far as to complete her preparations within a month after the home-coming from the North. The wedding was a really brilliant affair, and followed up by parties given by the different members of the family connection; but no bridal trip was taken, neither bride nor groom caring for it, and Hugh's business requiring his presence at home.
