A novel method Of securing wedding
present has lately been practiced in
Topeka. Heretofore wedding invitation
was the proper and effectual method of
solicitation. and when you accepted an
invitation you carried with you or had
sent on ahead a half dozen spoons or
the smallest piece of cut glass YOU
could persuade yourself would do. But
now SuppOSing the case of a bride who
prefers to choose her furniture to suit
her own taste She is wise enough to
know that a dust pan would do her
more good than ten berry spoons and
that there would be more comfort in a
mend1ng bag than in half a dozen
pickle dishes In this case mot alto
sether imaginary the prospective
mother-in-law has all the business
acumen usually credited to her class
30 she gives a party before the we'd
ding (the wedding by the way is to he
a small one and only a few guests are
lnV1ted) to which every one she has
ever known or ever hopes to know is
asked All those persons who intend
ed giving present to the BRIDE are
requested to enclose with their cards a
clean looking bill land that didn't mean
a cooing-dove bill either. The party
came on, and in counting up the re-
turns il was found that the gate re-
ceipts amounted to more than a hum
dred dollars. This is probably a small
part of the value of the gifts that
would have been received if the old
fashioned methods had been followed,
but hundred dollars worth of some
thing you want is equal to five times
the amount invested in a collection of
side-board ornaments that are good 10
look at but too nice to use. A sensible
girl viii select a nother-in-law with
original ideas and then find out if she
has any eligible sons.
