done in all American cities and as

asked if it was proper TO send a
gift to a bride when one is asked

silver be engraved. Her answer
which appears in the November

Gift when one is not invited to
the reception. One can, however,
do so if there is any reason why
one wants to. or If circumstances
have limited the reception to only
the family. Silver used always to

of the bride. But as this is rather
