WEDDING ANNIVERSARIES.

The first anniversary of wedding Is
the paper wedding; it is seldom OBJ
served, it seems bit soon to expect
ones friends to repeat their presents
but when Observed the occasion may
be made highly enjoyable. Need less
to say, the giftsare always of paper.
The wooden wedding is the fifth an
niversary Of the marriage. and on this
occasion it is custom for guests 10 send
some gifts in wood to host and hos' ess.
The tin wedding is celebra ed ON the
tenth anniversary. On this occasion
the presents should be of tin.
The crystal wedding celebrates the
fifteenth annivery, when gifts of glass
ware may be made.
The silver wedding comes on the
twenty.fifth anniversary. The presents
should be silver q silver-plated arti-
cles, though on nohe of these occasions
are such gifts obligatory.
The golden wedding is fitly so called
because it celebrates the fiftieth ami
versary Of the marriage. The gifts as
far as possible should be of gold.
