PREPARED FOR JUNE BRIDES
The Smart Shops Are Filled With Special Stocks Designed
chased to Furnish Gifts for the Long Array
Of Bridal Festivities.
of Bridal Festivities.

many brides have been made happy with
the quaint carved boxes laden with Law
ender scented linen. ;. One young woman
is so fortunate as to have her grandmoth-
er's chest and in it several pieces Of linen
woven by the busy fingers Of that grand
mother. The bride has daintily wrought
the initials of her mother and those of
herself beneath those of the weaver so
that the three generations which have
used the white webs will be remembered
In spite of the fact that the silversmiths
talk largely of the new things for the
June brides, there really is not much
which 1mpresses one as novel, The gray
finish silver, which is still the favorite,
comes in possibly few new patterns but
as one man said no one wanted anything
yet but the colonial and the ancient shapes
In both silver and cut glass are selling
just as we'll as they did a hundred years
ago.
At the recent wedding of popular girl
and young clergyman there was such a
deluge OF gifts that a week before the
wedding the bridal couple and their rela-
tlves stopped in despair. There was no
place to put the dozens and dozens of
everything which came by mail, by ex-
press and by special messenger. No more
boxes were opened and the final DISPOSE
ton Of the gifts in the modest home pre-
pared by the bridegroom became a serious
question. For a while it seemed as though
a larger house would have to be taken
but by CAREFUL planning the wedding pres
ents have all found a place altho six
solid silver tea services are too many
for one family, as the bride frequently re-
marked.

recent bride found it rather a vexati ous
one: It was the gift of a bachelor uncle
who looked at the world thru blue glasses
and found everything blue. He presented
his niece. with a check for $500 and then
asked her kindly. to prepare an itemized
account of how she spent it and hand it
to him as soon as possible. The spending
of that check has, been both a pleasure
and torment to the bride and the item

his wife and five children on a farm two
miles from Cranky, Mass. His delusion
Is that he has suit for untold millions

authorities have laid a plot for his life.

himself from their persecution Dressed

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
TO REPLY TO HEINZE
Bureau Smarting Under Charges of
Broken Faith Preferred Recently by
the Montana Magnate.

Director Charles d. walcott, of the
Geological Survey. has directed 5. f.
Emmons, in charge of the investigation
of metalnferous ores. to frame a reply
to the charges Of broken faith brought
against the Survey. and Walter Harvey

Heinze. tie mining magnate of Butte.

When Mr. Emmons completes his re-
ply it will be submitted 10 Director
Walcott. and. II he so directs. viii be
issued as a circular. as were Heinze $
charges. and probably given 10 the press
for publication.
The trouble arose over an alleged
breach of contract by the publication Of
a Survey bulletin containing information
about properties belonging to Heinze.
He says Mr.. Weed was permitted to
gain this information after a promise by
Director Walcott that no report contain
ing it would be printed until all litiga-
ton over the properties had beon con-
cluded. This promise, Heinze says, was
expressed in telegram.
II is held by the Survey that the prom
Use covered only litigation then pending,
and that no mention was made of litiga-
ton In which the bulletin was used as
evidence.
The charge of broken faith against the
Survey is particularly aggravadng. as
the Survey has taken especial care al
ways to live up to its promises TO mine
owners. Otherwise. II would be impos-
sible 10 make the necessary investiga-
lions of the mining districts.
