q
at saw an unusual wedding present
the other day" said the brides friend,
telling of her call on the happy young
woman, land 1 certainly mean to act
on the suggestion the next time have
a gift to buy for a similar occasion. 1t
was an American flag. 1t is strange
that more people have not thought
of it before but I do not recall that
ever among the numerous displays of
wedding gifts that 1 have seen nave
I noticed our national emblem; yet,
when you come to think of 1T. what is
more appropriate? To be sure, there
is not so much opportunity to use one
in living in an apartment house as IN
a private dwelling in the suburbs, but
even so. there are times when one
feels lost not to have the colors to
fling to the breezes or hang on the
walls. and surely the giver of the flag
viii have the satisfaction of knowing
that his gift will not be duplicated
4 oil will
be admired! So, I say, the flag shall
henceforth be my standby in selecting
wedding gifts
