seeing that the bride receives the gifts

The maid of honor begins long before

has not the least idea what to give
More than likely the friend will come
upon one article in the list which it is
especially pleasing to him or her to pre-

made between the friend and the maid
of honor, and the friend goes shopping
in glad spirit.
The hunt is not for vague and prob

All suspicion Of indelicacy is removed
from the arrangement by having the maid

of price often can be left to the donor Of
the gift. Thus. a wr0ught-irOn lamp
may cost 81 or 500. And so may a desk

1888 by w. T.. Vanderbilt at salary OF
$4,000 a year Stories differ as to how
he came to give up his place in Mr.. Van
derbilts household. Joseph's own story
was that one day Mr.. Vanderbilt called
upon him to supply a dish Of corned beef
and cabbage; that Joseph sarcastically re-
ferred his employer to his gardener and
declined to further serve him Another
account IS that Mr. Nanderbil's idea re-
garding the proper cooking Of the can.

ment. Still another story was that after
few months the Vanderbilt stomachs
Febelled against the undue amount Of
paprico sauce and other Latin condiments

leaving Mr.. Nanderbilt's employ Joseph
determined to open mems restaurant
