Wedding Gifts

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Do tell me. please. if it is al
ways necessary or called for"
to send a wedding present, Is
there any other question in the
world of good manners so per-
picking? One wishes to do what
is right, and still it is desperate
on the pocketbooky this sending
of presents in acknowledgment of
every wedding invitation that one
receives. Please give me a point
of view about this. READER.
Not so easy, lady, not so easy
to give a point of view about
this. And / agree with you that
it is one of the most difficult
questions in the world of good
manners. 1t is so largely mat
ter of personal reaction that it
is difficult for another person to
decide it. And even one, one
self. has to decide all over again
when the next wedding invitation
comes in. But there are a few
things that ] think very strongly
about on this perplexing subject.
In the first place, l do not
maintain that receiving an invita-
tion to a wedding means buying
a present. One sends, or should
send, a wedding present for the
same reason that one sends. or
should send, any other kind of
present-becaus one wishes to
send it.
If one is fond of the bride. or
If one is relation of the bride
or groom, or if ono is a close
friend of the family of either the
bride or the groom, it is probable
that one would wish 10 send a
wedding present to the bride. The
gift that one sends. large or
smalls, depends on ones means.
The spirit Of the wedding pres
ent is the wish that the giver
has, or should have, to be repre-
scented in some way in the build
ing of the new home. This spirit
should be kept as high and fine
as possible, and each giver should
help to preserve this spirit. The
