Giving Wedding Presents
The Tendency Now is to Give Presents Whose Quanti-
ty Far Exceeds Their Quaty--A Plea for Old Custom
of Suitable, Commonplace Gifts that Are Appreciated

he would take the wrong fork or
spoon.
There are elderly women in every
town who can bring out fine linens,
solid silver. we'll bound books, fine
CHINA and other cherished gifts from
their weddings years ago, but they are
exceptions To the general rule. The
old joke about the lady asking the
clerk to help her select something
nice and appropriate for a wedding
gift, and his ready answer, Madam
the ninety-nine cent counter is in the
basement" has only too much foun-
dation. There are some people who
cannot afford to spend more than
ninety-nine cents for some gifts. but
they rarely use good Judgment in
making. the small purchase.
A solid teaspoon is much better
than plated set of spoons, though
the latter exceeds in quantity. The
really appropriate gifts are eajoyed
on the great day and boarded for
ever after by the fortunate woman
who possesses them, but still the care
less buyer goes on. The very woman
who have a store of useless wedding
gifts hidden out of sight are the ones
who recklessly buy trash to send 10
their friends. Perhaps this is prompt
ed by the spirit of getting even,'
/ but it is hardly possible.
| Before starting out to purchase the
next wedding gift take down your
| bible and read over the Golden Rule.
| Ii YOU love fine linens. pretty china
and lots of reed'/ work why not send
| your friends gifts like those when
they set up homes of their own? Do
you enjoy tiny candle sticks with
paper petticoats, or silver bon bon
dishes of tipsy vases? Ii not why do
| YOU cumber the bride with such
| things when she would be SO pleased
with fine towels. solid teaspoons or
something to make the new nest CO.
zy and attractive? Your attic may be
stacked with all sorts of things that
never were useful or ornamental, but
don't take your disappointment out on
some other bride.

unfortunately it was cheap plate d

In some communities it is still the
style TO display the wedding gifts to
all the guests, but many people do
not. However,, the anguish in the
heart of the bride is the same whether
the array of useless stuff is hidden
from friends or laid out in full sight
to proclaim the need of common sense
when buying presents. While pickle
