Nor only have We become grossly

have prostituted them from their
original sacred meaning to the fla
grant display Of modern fashion. The
wedding gift of modern times is os-
tentatiously displayed In many in
stances to the gaze OF the curious and
invites the criticisms OF the vulgar.
On such occasions guests do not dis
cuss the devotion of givers to the
bride but the chief theme OF discus
sion is how literally some have ven
tured In the gift line and how meanly
others Of ample means have exhibited
their generosity. The fitting sequel
OF sueh exhibitions Of the prostitution
OF the sentiment that created gifts
comes in many instances in the specu-
