EXCHANGING Wedding Gifts

no you think It is terrible for
bride to exchange her wedding
A> presents7 have eight cut glass
dishes exactly alike and I want to ex-
change four Of them for some spoons.
My mother was shocked when [ sug-
gested it and told her I would ask
you if it was not commonly doneT-
Duplicate. .
A bride very often does exchange her
duplicate wedding gifts and I do not
think that 1t is any worse than send
ing them on as gifts to other brides.
1t is pity that presents are so often
duplicated for the sentiment is lost in
the exchange. However, if you have
not enough spoons and have too many
cut glass dishes and are more practical
than sentimental, you are certainly in
the right to exchange them.

and the linen covers are made in the
form Of loose squares, which are tackled
on over. They are lace edged and en-
broidered with tiny scattered flowers
and quantity lettered notices. Set
among daisy heads is the legend:
"sweet little baby
Ere you think
Loving hand made you
This pillow Of pink"
For the little blue set, forget-me-nots
are used, and the words:
'IAttle pillow lined in blue,
Do Do you 70. think think you 1,sa can b be true, tru:
The words are entwined with the
sprays. The linen squares are tied on
with ribbon bows, so that they can be
taken off and washed, and the ruffled
covers, sensibly made in cambria, are
made to slip off the down pads under
meath SO as to be easily replaced.
The small, white linen shoe forms
come stamped for scalloped edges and
with patterns for eyelet, part Of the
pattern being so set as to form holes
for dainty ribbon laces up the front
They are the prettiest little things
Imaginable when worked and set upon
a tiny muslin sole bound and stitched
around on the machine and with a piece
of soft featherbone up the heel. Little
linen frocks also are cut out, traced
with daisy chains and other patterns
which are simple and quickly worked
Little kimonOS are made in white
albatross, worked in blue forget-me
nots, and lined in pale blue silk. The
outside and lining are held together by
scalloping the edges with blue silk
White linen bands, which turn ba&
from the inside of little Dutch bonnets
are also worked with a light scroll.

i. (. i.
Another urgently needed reform is in
the line Of expenditure. There is no
reason why our pleasures should cost so
much as they too often do. Because we
can afford to spend little, some of us
decline to be hospitable at all. YETI
there have been in New York and in
other cities, gatherings of refined and
agreeable people, evening after evening,
in the winters of the past, where the
only refreshments offered was wafer
and cup of tea, and where there was
no display, either of dress, of costly
catering, or Of riotous luxury in Amer
lean Beauty roses. Republican simplic-
ity should be Characteristic of our
hospitality when we dispense it in the
long evenings. There is the most win-
some attraction in the cordial greeting,
in the showing by voice and eye and
hand that the home is glad in its heart
beat when friends come in Of an even
