Pretty Wedding Gifts.

WHEN one is called upon to choose a
w wedding present it Is sometimes
not the easiest matter to decide exactly
what would prove the most acceptable.
Presents should suit the income Of the
young couple as we'll as the purse Of the
donor.
Every young housewife is interested in
new articles for her home. A half dozen
casseroles would delight any woman.
They are placed in little silver filigree
baskets after the food is ready to serve.
Another desirable article Is an ice pitcher
which contains q receptacle which holds
the drinking water. Usually such pitch
ers are sold with a half dozen goblets of
similar pattern.
One clever girl made unique kitchen
picture for q prospective bride. On a
sheet Of very heavy white paper she
wrote with a typewriter the various
weights and measurements. times for
cooking foods and a few good kitchen

What Do You Do With
Your Coat of Arms?

recognition-if it has been borne by one
Of your name?
The most approved usage of arms per-
mits their reproduction on family silver,
on stationery and as panels for wall deco
rations. The day of the steel engraving
Of the family arms, which hung solemnly
on the library wall like a membership
certificate In a secret society, is about
past. But family arms reproduced in
their correct colors on parchment can
he artistically used as panel wall deco
.ations In dining room or library. panel
well executed can be let in over a large
fireplace, itself suggestive of the cheer
and continuity Of home life, with good
effect.
Correct usage. SO far as the use Of
coats of arms on stationery is concerned,
uals. The arms may be placed at either
side or In the center of the top of the
sheet of paper, and they may be placed
In the same positions on correspondence
cards
Usually only one color-gold, silver or
blue among the most effective-is en-
ployed. This is for a very obvious rea-
son A separate die must be made for
reproducing each color, and each die costs
from $1S to SO to make So If a coat
of arms containing argent, gules and err
mine were reproduced in its proper col
ors i. would have to be made with three
dies-one for the argent. or silver: a Sec
ond for the gules or red, and a third for
$40 or $50 for the making of the dies.
The coat Of arms can also be engraved
in black and white for a bookplate. This
emblem. with the name of the owner of
the book-supposedly descendant of the
man who earned the right to bear the
arms-below. makes a very effective and
individual bookplate
Many old coats of arms have been
found on old family silver. and as 1t is
quite possible that some time baby s
porringer or a little child's mug dated
1913 will be as interesting as one marked
lib is to US. persons who wish to pre-
serve old family traditions and emblems
may well use them their silver They
should always be used unostentatiously,
not deliberately sprawled over the whole
surface of the silver they decorate but
daintily designed and applied in a small
space.
