piece Of linen, a Bible, two cookery
books, and Mrs. Somebody's Hints to
Young Wives. These. are certainly
very proper presents !, but, as a gene
raj thing, silver and jewelry are not
only expected but preferred.

place up town recently, where the
brides toilette was said to have been
the most elegant ever worn, while the

thing but beautiful Still she looked
well, and,itseems,-was- conscious
of the elegance Of her dress, that She
took full five inmates to come down
the Church aisle sso9ithat all might

are very much worn. We. have seen
them of all coiors9blue, gray, and
purple; but those. off brown are de-

rial, when made up, can hardly be
distinguished from real silk velvet.
Short vails, cut in points, with D gilt
bead or tassel on the ends, are very
much worn. q They.are becoming, and
much prettier than the long ones worn
last winter. ..f.
