THE following, clipped from the
London Mail, tells of the inau-
Il gural of a custom which is so
sensible that some means should be
devised for its adoption in America:

miliar phrase in obituary announce
ments, and now mo presents, by re-
quest" has made its appearance in
the newspaper column in which fash
tonable engagements are announced.
The first bride-elect publicly to
emancipate herself from the tyran-
nical yoke of the wedding presents is
Miss Lillian Lutley of Oldham Priory,
Hants, who is to be married in the
autumn to Mr.. Harrington Morgan,
Judge of the civil courts of justice in
the Sudan. The engaged couple have
requested, through the press, that 90
presents be sent to them. Letters tx-
uressive of good wishes, they add, VIII
be very acceptable.
"There are many service people who
have lived to wish from the bottom
of their hearts that their friends had
abstained from burdening their lives
with well intentioned wedding pres
ents, and civil servants who go abroad
are l should imagine, in the same po-
sition" said the wife of a naval otf1-
cere who is a member of well known
ladies' service club.
presents in the form of checks are,
of course, acceptable, and jewelry does
not deteriorate with keeping, but for
a young couple to attempt to carry to
distant lands the heterogeneous col
lection of silver articles, silk cushions,
afternoon tea cloths and glass and
china with which their friends have
endowed them is to saddle themselves
with a very expensive and very use
less appendage.
''I know of woman who was mar
ried five years ago and the wedding
presents arc still at the repository
where they were sent after the cere-
mony," added this lady
The Washington Star mentions the

this respect already settled.

the residence of the late Charles Nord-
hoff, who built it, and later other own
