Honeymoon Guest.
John Burroughs, on those rare occasions when he comes out of his shell and visits his fellow mortals, is the most genial and kindly of literati. If it were any one else than he this story would be surprising.
A wedding in which literary New York takes a keen interest will take place in about ten days, and will unite one of the cleverest of women writers and editors to a man equally clever, and the happy honeymoon will be spent at a cottage in the mountains, with John Burroughs as guest.
A third party at a honeymoon! It is unheard of! But even so. The lady in the case has met Mr. Burroughs in the mountains and his kindly eyes and hair, gray with the snows of sixty years, and his talk of birds and fishes had made her wish to see more of him, a wish which her expectant husband shares. And as literary people laugh conventionality to scorn, why not? I think a honeymoon could be spent very pleasantly hearing John Burroughs talk about squirrels in his own beloved mountains.
