' 1 in'ii-ilillillllli II llil Ill liiliyill III IIIIMtUIMI I 1 N selecting a wedding fcift your first thought must be of quality. No matter how small the articles may be, if tlio qunl- ifr i nnnnrnnf fin rnmotnhrnnpn ic Ail re to prove lasting and more appreciated. Especially where the expenditure is a small one, discrim inating judgment should bo used in selecting the fcift so it may not lose its identity among tho many ether fcifts. Few &ifts carry so much of tho wedding sentiment as silver and cut glass. They are most dear to tho heart of the bride and remain among her most cherished possessions. Tho reason for this popularity lies in their ever broadening field of design, purpose and usefulness. There need never be monotony in gifts if silver and cut glass are chosen. There are many other suggestions horo that aro beautiful and useful, and which hold their worth indefinitely. No matter what you buy it is wisdom to buy it here, for then , you are assured that your gift will stand out among others and remain constantly in tho thoughts of the happy couple.
