NO MERGER.
j. p. Morgan Co. Do Not Intend to
Unite Property with Bell Co.

New York, Dec. 1,.-No additional
detils concerning the purchase of the
two Independent telephone companies
in Ohio We're Obtainable Thursday at
the office of J. p Morgan & Co., EXCEPT
the statement that no merger of the
newly acquired properties with the Bell
Co. is contemplated.
Members of the Morgan firm were
non"committal regarding the report
that the independent companies in the
Central West are likely to be taken
over. Despite denials of any absorption
or closer working agreement between
the Bell Co. and the independents, it
is considered significant that Henry p
Dawson, of j. P. Morgan & Co., was
recently elected director of the
American Telephone & Telegraph Co.,
which controls the Bell Co.
In the financial district it is believed
that the gradual absorption of the
more active Independent telephone
companies in various parts Of the
country is under way with the ulti-
mate purpose of some day Welding
them into one comprehensive whole.

FOR THE BRIDE.
Linen and Silver.

According to etiquette. a brides be-
longings. whether they be personal o,
for the household, should be marked
with the initials of her maiden name.
Sentlmentalists who yearn to have the
new initial appear unfortunately must
control expression of the wish until
they send gifts that are not connected
with the wedding.
The sole exception to this rule is an
English custom which permits of the
brides personal and house linen being
embroidered with the letter of herineW
name.
A compensation for those who are
disappointed, should there be any, is
that table linen bearing the maiden let
ter, if used twenty years later. indi-
Gates rousseau, and the associations
are pleasant for the woman no longer
a bride; the same is true of all her sill
yer.
The latter is supposed to be given by
her father and mother, but if for any
reason they are unable to make such
present the discrepancies should be
filled by near relatives. Jewels or
large silver pieces may come from the
bridegroom's parents, but articles such
as forks, spoons and ct ceteras are
personal, and for the brides immediate
family to provide. House linen comes
in the same class, but there is a CLEAN
of comfort for the girl who has only
limited income and must meet the in
finite number of expenses incident upon
her wedding, for the trousseau and
house linen supply is no longer as large
as was considered imperative years
ago. For instance, two dozen hand
towels, with half dozen bath towels.
are enough for a moderate household.
Six sheets with eight pillow cases. will
do for many months. Two pairs of
blankets. three breakfast cloths, three
dinner covers, with three dozen nap
kins. should keep a small. simple table
provided with fresh linen until such
time as the size of the income increas-
es. A couple of bureau scarfs and an
equally small number of other linen
pieces such as are required through the
house complete neat little outfit Of
which a girl may be proud.
If she has half dozen of everything
pertaining to personal linen she may
consider herself equipped for months.
A number sufficient for daily needs In
the house saves the trouble of keep
ing track of large supply. To renew
or increase the number one or two at
a time is pleasant way of spending
money. and one that may sometimes be
enjoyed without draining the purse.
