APPROPRIATE GIFTS.
With the smaller gifts displayed alta
recent wedding, there figured a silver
and copper saucepan, with spoons,
ladle and SKINNER intact. The same,
however, were not exhibited in native
simplicity, nor We're they more than
slightly suggestive of the kitchen uses
to which they will Infinitely descend.
Not to disagree with it's more decora-
tive surroundings, the saucepan was
effectively covered with copper-colored
plush, drawn round the edge with
MORE ribbon. The other implements
were decorated with ribbon in two
colors. And, further to remove any
suggestion of the prosaic, a vase of
lovely exotics was temporarily placed
in the interior.-Nea0 York EUening
