This is the eternal message
of wedding gift, and for
that reason it should be
chosen with the greatest of
loving care.
The ideal gift should do
these four things:
/. Express the personality
of the giver.
2. Fit the ideas of the per-
son who gets it.
3. Stand distinc c tive,
whether it costs little
or much.
A. Add S o m h i ng of
beauty or usefulness to
it's new environment.
People sensible of these
facts like to choose their gifts
from the wealth of treasures
Au Quatrieme, where there
are beautiful things, gay
things, amusing things, dis
( tinguished things-some of
them modern, costing as little
as 81 and some of them with
the intrinsic value of rare
antiques.
1t is a pleasure to know
that every gift selected Au
Ouatrieme is beautifully
packed and carefully deliv-
cred on the exact date given.
Never was there a collec-
ton more fascinating to
choose from than the one Au
Ouatrieme offers to-day. In
coming steamers have stored
the shelves with new and
lovely glass; the potteries of
Italy and France have sent
over charming bowls and
plates and candlesticks, and
all the out-of-the-way corners
have been ransacked to find
the old bibelots that are now
here,

When You Put On

Wanamaker dinner coat,
you touch the springs
which drop the commercial

1t is pleasing to be con-
scious of the fact that the

are-the three things demanded by the
world of the leadership of the religious
journalist, DIR. E. c. Wareing, president
