NEW YORK, April lS.-A new wedding
PRESENT has the light in the shop windows
Of Gotham. 1t is "Only pansy blossom"
The flower is of china and is shaped exactly
Ike pansy, with uprolling leaves. 1t is
placed in very beautiful case lined with
mede, and. alongside of it, is laid
royal Worcester china spoon. This all
sounds tame enough, but the glory and the
novelty lies in the case itself.
In Imitation of the beautiful jewel baskets
4 gwen by royalty the dealers have manu-
4 featured in small and select quantities the
loveliest casket that eye hath ever seen. The
outside is of brass, and on top, in hammered
work, there is some well-known legend,
H Illustrated by a line and a text. On one
H recently bestowed there was picture of
Brunhilde being awakened by Siegfried.
Brunhilde, clad in armor, lay upon couch
surrounded by wall of flame. Siegfried,
sword in hand, bent over her. Underneath
was the line, This is no man"
Nearer home in its folklore comes the
sleeping beauty. Upon this casket beau
tlful girl lies asleep on divan. The hero,
exqulsitely dressed stands by her side with
uphfted hand. The girl looks as if sbont
to open her eyes. Beneath this is inscribed
the line, And loi The girl awoke."
All the young women are hard drinkers
nowadays. They consume tea, coffee, choc-
olate, broma and cocoa in proportions
wholly beyond their natural craving, and
even in greater quantities than health and
the family physician advise. The reason is
not far TO seek. A great and wonderful
passion has arisen for the collection OF
family teacups. One must have as many
OF these as one can get, and in every variety,
description and design-the qualnter and
more unique and more interesting the bet
ter. Having the cups in her possession, a
women is driven to them. How can she
display the beauty and delicacy of china
ware as we'll as well as when holding the
delicate material In her hand9 And so this
accounts IN part for the reason that every
body offers everybody else cup Of some
thlng on every possible occasion.
One goes to make a call, and behold, a
cup of cocoa is brought out in the finest,
most delicate china ever seen.
That cup came from Venice" remarks
From VeniceT' exclaims the guest.
No, not exactly from Venice. That is,
the cup did not come from Venice. but the
picture upon it did come from there.
GU see, when we were travelling last
year l took my kodac along, and
snapped off pictures Of everything that
seemed interesting to me- The negatives 1
brought home and had developed in this
country. 1t seemed pity to have the pho
tographs simply mounted upon cards to be
framed or laid aside upon a table Pictures

very incest china teacups that could be
found and took them to a photographer:
After much consultation upon ways and

nice method for transferring the photo
