Acknowledging Presents.

Every girl should consider it her
duty to acknowledge her wedding
presents at once, and her pleasure to
make these notes as personal and ap-
preciative as possible, says the Phil
adelphia Press. Mention the name OF
the gift, so that your friend will see
that you really know what she sent
you, and will not feel that it meant
no more to you than lone of many"
If you haven't had time to acknowl-
edge all your presents beforehand
keep a list of them, and have your
mother write these friends that her
daughter will take pleasure in thank
ing them as soon as she returns from
her wedding trip.

Regained Appetite by Reading.

There was once a man who had lost
his appetite. He regained it by the
simple method Of reading a chapter
of Dickens before dinner every day.
Sometimes he would read about the
Christmas dinner Of the Crummels,
and again he would read about an
other characters enjoyment of butter
ed toast; but always the chapter
would be upon something good to eat.
The very thought of how others enjoy
ed their food would awake in this
hypochondriac a hunger that made
his dinner pleasure instead of a tor
ture.
