A Quaint Idea.

A new idea was introduced in the display of the wedding gifts at a recent New York wedding—the duction, namely, in exquisite miniature, of the gifts that were too huge to be displayed ''u 'the black oak tables in the hall. Z* 1 Thus one/of the gifts was an old RbigHsh manor house. Reproduced to the last detail in a two-foot model, the gray manor house of the sixteenth century struck, amongst the pearls and chiseled silver, an exceedingly picturesque note. Another gift was a very low gray torpedo touring car. of sixty horsepower. The model, a perfect one, set on a gold-mounted dressing case, made all the guests's mouths water. The bride’s brother’s gift was a rid-, ing horse, an Irish hunter. The model was done in clay by a girl sculptor. There were several other gifts also reproduced in miniature, among them a mptor boat and a biplane.
