A correspondent from Moret and Stren recounts a strange tale of a bridal couple living in a Texan cottage. Wrens nested outside, the family furnished a pot shelter, and the male sang as the nestmates fed. The wife Titty-tea arrived as the nest grew, and the tale follows their courtship and home life. A town girl who eloped with a farmer is later mentioned returning with her husband to settle a large mortgage.
