WEDDING GIFTS.
The Presents Made to Brides by
Vanderbilts and Astors
Russell Sage's Bracelets-HOv Weddings
Have Coma TO Be Mainstays of the
Trade In Jewelry-ways of
q Plutocracy.
IcoPYRIeHr, IssA.1


THE homes of Americas young mar
ried couples are the most beautiful in
the world. That is because wedding
presents have become almost national
institution"
One of New YorlS's merchant princes
was speaking.
Are wedding presents, then. of the
practical kind?"
The prince surveyed his domain be-
fore replying. His counters were jew
el-spread and heavy with caliph's
pride of gems.
NO. he said. THE force of my re-
mark is due to the impractical nature
of wedding gifts"
Reflection shows how true are his
words.
When the young city man comes back
from honeymooning, his bride invari-
ably says:
what beautiful things our friends
have given us! There is the music box
and that chinaware.
See, we have silver clocks and porce-
lain vases. We must furnish the house
so as to enhance the loneliness of all
these"
Thus is noted the great change in the
nature of wedding gifts, a change al
most wholly due to the rise TO social
power Of such families as the Wander
bits, the Astors. the Whitneys, the
Sloans, even the Goulds, and it must
be acknowledged that the taste dis
played nowadays is better in every
way than the taste of twenty years
ago.
Thus, at the recent wedding of Miss
Elizabeth Elkins that was, the daugh-
ter of President Harrison's secretary of
war, the bride received such gifts as a
japanese lamp, over ten feet tall and
studded with tips of the precious
metals, which was sent by Mrs. and
Mrs Edwin Gould; silver pitcher al
legorically designed and of the most
skilled workmanship, the gift of MIR.
and Mrs. George Gould; a silver tea set
and silver tray patterned after the re-
naissance designs in such things, from
Coils p. Huntington; a silver tea serv-
ice complete, presented by Mr.. and
Mrs. Andrew Carnegie; silver bon
bon dish, wrought in the Benvenuto
Cellini style of metal decoration, from
ex-President Harrison and over seven
hundred other articles, from gold
watches to prayer books, every one of
which possessed an aesthetic, rather
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1894-04-19

than a practical value, with the excep-
ton, perhaps, of the prayer books.
Nor is this wedding different, in point
of gifts to the bride, from most of the
marriages celebrated among people
who have friends in the plutocracy.
When Capt. Edward Jaffray married,
Mrs. Frederick w. Vanderbilt pre-
scented his bride with g watch studded
with diamonds, and the other gifts in
cluded diamond necklace, silver sets,
bracelets and rings.
The present taste aud usage are
largely due 70 the influence of en-
ample. For instance, before William
Waldorf Aston sailed away TO England,
many New Workers got into the habit
of presenting brides with morocco
bound books in editions de luxe, gift
which Mr.. Astor seemed to think very
appropriate. The only book bestowing
plutocrat of note just now is George
w. Vanderbilt, and his good Judgment
in this respect is beyond question.
Yet Mr.. Vanderbilt does not confine
himself to books alone.
Mrs. Cornelius Nanderbilts favorite
gifts to bride are ivory-tipped, hand
painted fans and silverware. Once she
presented bride with an opera-glass,
beautiful affair. it goes without say
ing.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Jacob Astor are,
perhaps, the most noted among donors
of jewelry to the newly-wed Their
taste in silver goods is conspicuously re-
fined. Some silver cups with gold
Innings given by this young couple
have been greatly admired. Numerous
diamond lockets and brooches of ex-
quisite design have been gifts from
them. The price paid for such articles
is not a permissible matter for investi-
CATION, but it may be said that the
jewels we've in every case of the first
water.
Mr.. Astor does not bestow many
gold pencils or penknrves upon brides,
after the fashion of numbers Of So
ciety people. On the subject of such
gifts, the earl of Craven said in New
York last spring:
ut seems to me that pee pie who give
little things like pencils and paper
cutters have no show with others. who
4
guests have eyes only for the snowy
presents when they are all spread out. ;"
The remark was made in the pres
ence of numerous guests and attracted
great attention.
Mr.. William G. Whitney and his
daughter. Miss Pauline Whitney, are
among the most successful makers of
bridal gifts. One novelty was a rich
set of silver candlesticks, presented to
a couple whose honeymoon was passed
in country house up the Hudson.
This was in accordance with the Gus
tom of using candles in place of gas or
lamps in such retreats Noteworthy
Whitney presents have been carriage
watches of quaint design. gold mesh
purses, one Of which had setting of
pearls. and some triumphs in bracelets

of gold chains, silver hand mirrors and
ornaments set with precious stones.
In this they follow the traditions OF
the old French aTistoePacy.
As result of all tlis it may be asked
If there has yet come 10 be a recog-
nised etiquette of wedding pres
ents in this country. Hardly. To be
sure, some manuals of polite deport-
ment undertake to state what NAV
with propriety be given to bride by
such and such one under numerous
varying conditions. But practically no
rules are followed. This is the situa-
ton in England. If you happen to
be rich you must pay the penalty of
that fact by being princely in your
present TO the bride. If you are poor
the bride hares the consequence of
that circumstance by putting up with
humble offering.
Altogether, the NJ ing of wedding
presents has come 30 be. in this coun-
try at least, the maiDstay of the trade
in jewelry.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1894-04-19

being popular with the younger ele-
ment in society. The Wetmore gifts
are. as a rule, hair ornaments of gold
and precious stones, chatelaine,
brooches and other objects of personal
mind always that tt is the bride who is
to be pleased. In this respect they are
marked contrast to Bishop Henry c.
Potter, who as spiritual adviser to
more plutocracy sinners than any man
in America, not 10 mention the FREE
suency with which he administers the
sacrament of natrimony, has seen
much of wedding presents, and rich
ones at that. The bishop believes in
simplicity and utility in all such things,
and has even endeavored to effect re-
form by word and deed. Yet his efforts
seem to have no effect. When he
makes gift to a bride it is often a
manual of devotion or a gold cross. Or
it may be tray or a cup. Unlike his
brother of the Anglican communion,
the archbishop of Canterbury, he never
presents brides with broad volumes of
his owp sermons.
wealthy as they are, the Rockefel-
lers rarely make rich wedding pres
ents. One reason for this is that they
have not the social fever and are never
brought into contact with people who
would inject them with the present
gift mania. Another reason is the fact
that the majority of the Roekefellers'
friends are poor people who would
have no earthly use for diamond
studded watches and pearl adorned
purses. Yet John d. Rockefeller makes
wedding presents. One was $1,000 in
cash 10 the son of friend of poverty
days, and another consisted of house
and hot to a young couple in whom the
Rockefellers were Interested.
1t win probably excite wonder when
il is stated that Russell Sage has been
guilty of a wedding present. The idea
OF this person actually giving some
thing away is ineongruons. Yet he pre-
sented the two Gould brides with
gold bracelet each.
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Clews are liberal
present givers TO brides. They have
presented some exquisite fans and
brooches. numerous gold and silver
mugs and trays, and on more than one
occasion diamond earrings. The Cou-
derts are another family of bride es-
teemers. Their presents take the form

La Partie Rustique was given by the
Social Union of the First Universalist
Church last evening at Captain and Mrs
A. J. Newberry's home, No. VI Clinton
place.
Everything was arranged in the old
fashioned, rustic, century style. The
menu consisted of pumpkin pie, ginger
bread, cookies, doughnuts, milk, cheese
and everything else that would amply
satisfy rustics appetite. The order OF
dance, together with the menu was
written on imitation birch bark paper,
which was adorned with a wild daisy
pinned in one corner. The dancing was
also intended to be ancient. The order
included the polka, Virginia reel, the
schottishe and attempts were made to
make the dances as rustic as possible;
but the guests were not accustomed
to the lod time movements, and soon
glided into the 1.-TWO Step" and other
modern dances. Miss Jessie Marvin
played for the dancers. Mr.. William
Marvin gave reading entitled,5 "The
Courten,' by Lowell. The "Old Oaken
Bucket was sung, and Mrs. c. H. Vail
