these days stones are brought into
prominence to meet the demand for
variety, and such stones as the anne

the golden carnelian and many other
stones known as semi-precious are so
wonderfully cut and set as to greatly
increase their intrinsic value. These
stones r very fashionable just at

than any other stone. The greatest

The ONE orfwinal Gift.

When n hears of a Washington
bride who. has to find shelving for
thirteen dozen Of decorated chipa plates
and thirty-three bon-bon dishes, one
wishes for q little more origin atty on
the part of givers. Al check is always
original. Needlework Is coming In as
bridal gifts: house and table linen In
carved chests-nothing could be o
welcome. But even this should not
be overdone. 1T Lis barely possible TO
have too many doylies and table cen
tiers, luxurious and gratifying as these
dainty bits OF napery are. A French
count recently presented to his bride
not only an heirloom lace handker-
chief, but a beautiful bedspread In
finest cambria and costly lace. In the
middle OF the spread was embroidered
the family coat OF arms. Now a coun-
terpane of the sort worked by the
brides young friends would be d treas
ure, indeed, and would last, as only
linen cambria does last. for a lifetime.

ODD WEDDING CUSTOMS.
Marriage in wales Once Attended by

Until quite rectn date marriages
in the rural districts of Wales were at
tended by many curious circumstances.
When q wedding had been agreed
upon what We're called bidding pa
pers'' were sent round to the friends
of the parties, which requested the ia.
vor of the invited persons very good
and most agreeable company and 1t
was added, whatever donation you
may be pleased to bestow on us win
be thankfully acknowledged and cheer
fully repaid whenever called for on u
similar occasion"
THIS paper was signed by the betr) 9TH
cd couple and a double postscript was
added on behalf of each asking for the
return of ''all gifts of the above na-
ture," together with additional favors.
On the day of the wedding 1t was the
custom of the bride to be hidden away
by her friends, and four or five repre-
sentatives of the bridegroom would be
chosen to discover her place or conceal
ment, and bring her forth, which was
often a matter of considerable diff
Guilty.
subsequently the friends OF the bride
groom made an attack upon the escort
of the bride, and between the combat
ants the poor girl often got roughly
handled. But eventually she would ar
rive at the church and the ceremony
would be hurriedly gone through, after
which all the male friends would en-
gage In a furious race back to the
brides home, the victor being rewarded
with a pint of ale.
When the happy couple reached
home they seated themselves at a ta-
BILE, each holding a plate for the recep-
tion of the bidding money! Later on
practical jokes were largely INDUCED
in, the newly married pair being the
usual victims.

when we consider these bad times,
and the fact that one million pounds
sterling goes monthly out of the coun-

wares! Now that all cur leading drGp-
ers have shown a desire to patronize

material solicitude rarely exhibited in
animals for the young of other species,
took into her fold of newly-born
kittens a little orphan chicken, cher
ishing it as one of her own offspring.
The little waif was accidentally cast
upon the world, the egg which con-
tanned it being Matched in an unac-
countable way, without the warmth
always given by the mother hen. The
little kittens and their adopted sister
thrived in peace and harmony together.
OF course, the little stranger did not
eat at the same table with the rest OF
the family, but found its nourishment
from little insects, worms and crumbs.
But they baslsed in the sunshine under
the same material guidance, and
warmed on cold nights at the same
motherly breast. The strangest part
of all is that when the kittens arrived
at maturity the old cat parted with
them without murmur, while nothing,
it seems, can sever the ties that bind
her to the chicken, now grown to
stately henhood.
