said to a reporter:

on the very eve OF the senatorial ball

Higgins intends to keep silent when the
time comes for his legislators to an

Fred e. Bach. a New Castle county

As to Wedding Gifts

The season of weddings. fashionable
and otherwise is upon us and the ques-
tion of what to give is agitating many
prospective guests. Friends make sug-
gestions without end, but somehow
none Of them seems to suit and then
the inevitable clock or cut glass bowl
or piece of silver goes to add to the
duplicate woes OF the BRIDE A good
idea for the donor is to consult the
salespeople, who as a rule can offer
suggestions without end, the majority
Of which are eminently practicable
There are a thousand and one things in
the shops which would make fine we'd
ding gifts and which would be
snapped up in short order, did the
shoppers but know about them, so one
can readily appreciate the wisdom %
taking the salespeople into ones con
fidence.
One of the latest gifts exploited fol
brides is the handkerchief set The
handkerchiefs. of the sheerest linen anC
finest lace are seven in number anC
marked for each day in the week. On
man who receives a large number o
wedding invitations and who usual.
sends a picture to the bride, is par
ticularly happy in the choice OF hi
subjects. This does not always holt
good, but he explains his success b.
saying that he never presents pictur
that he would not choose for himself.

There probably is not a man in this
country who is better versed on the
Chinese question than General James
H. Wilson, of this city, who has lived
there and written an interesting book
on his impressions of the Oriental en-

are substantiated by Mrs. Estelle B.

Foochow, for twenty years. Mrs. Bald
