But it should be carefully chosen so that it will be both suitable and pleasing. Thoughtful study can make a gift more than a gift; it can be made a compliment to the recipient. Vyedding Gifts

1. Wedding gifts should be sent early; three weeks before the wedding is not too soon. 2. All wedding presents are sent to the bride aqd are her personal legal property, but in her notes of thanks she expresses the gratitude of the groom with her own. 3. The wedding invitation does not call for a present; only intimate friends send gifts to a bride being married the second time. 4. All wedding presents should he set out at the wedding reception in a manner to display each to its best advantage. 5. It's perfectly proper for a bride to exchange wedding presents when she has a greater number of any sort—say twenty salt cellars —than she can possibly use. Next: Etiquet of introductions

Miss Lee Denies Being Man 40 Years of Age

O OME of mv readers have been O wondering whether l am not a man. I am not. Neither am I 40. as one reader suggests. Whether I am more than 40. or less, does not matter. Picture me as it pleases you—married or unmarried, blonde or brunette, tall or small. I work at The Times office eight hours a day. and, when your problems are especially knotty, longer. To me, you readers are very real, for letters tqll much between the lines. My Dear Miss Lee: I really believe you are a man about 4U years old. Hut if you are a “Miss,” you certainly have been Hitting bac k and listening How disgusting these letters from “flappers” and "sheiks must be to you. My interest first was aroused when you etuek up for us boys who really ean treat a girt ‘ nice" if she wants to h>- treated so. The troupe is, most surls will look for a livelier fellow. iir : s don't seem to be serious or “level* headed” until they p< t married. X-RAY. You did not X-ray nte correctly, after all. I find very few of the letters disgusting. Even if l were a “man and 40,” I think I still :-hould remember try “sheik” age (not called that then) well enough to sympathize with the “flappers” and “sheiks,” even though I must laugh at them some times. That’s the trouble —often we take them too seriously. Question of Marriage Dear Miss I.re: lam a woman of 24. r married when 16 and have a girl of 5. My husband deserted me in 1020. He returned about a week later and tried to get me to live with him, but I refused. Sometimes I think I could JoVe him ag-aln if he would love and support me and my sweet baby. Ho never would provide as he should, lie never has tried to see tho child. I have a chance to marry another man. Would you advise me to. or to see my hueband? Wo are divorced. E. V. C. If you could bring your family together again, you should, for your child’s sake. But don’t remarry your former husband unless you feel sure he has changed his attitude. Do not marry the other man. You do not love him. or you could not speak of your former husband as you do. Chance to Help Dear Miss Lee; I wonder whether vou couli. help me. T have not had steady work for almost a year, f have taken bookkeeping and also have done clerical work. Everything goes against me because I am a cripple. My father is dead and I need work so badly because I have to keep my younger sister ill school. K. M. I will do all I can to help you. And 1 fed sure my readers will do what they can. Will you please send me your name and address? Readers, I try to help you. It’s your turn now. Quite a Gamble I>ra;? Martha Lee: I am 23 and in love jKUhifr man of 3d. He says he loves me. Do

YOUNG ARTISTS IN PLEASING RECITAL Matinee Musical Closes Series of Winter Concerts, Two young musicians, Miss Mary Louise Gale and Mrs. Rosetta French, were presented in the last of a series of artists’ recitals Friday afternoon at the Masonic Temple by the Matinee Musicale.

LETTER FROM MARY ALDEN PRESCOTT TO HER SON, JOHN ALDEN PRESCOTT. My Dear Son: I confess I had the greatest pang of my life when I read the enclosed clipping announcing your corning marriage to the daughter of some family totally unknown to me. I had always dreamed that my son would be the first to confide to his mother when he found a girl that he would like to marry. It had been one of my illusions that you would bring the girl to me, your mother, before you even asked the momentous question. You might have your impulsive choice confirmed by the mature judgment of the mother who has your best interests at heart. The enclosed clipping was sent to me by dear Priscilla Bradford, who is visiting your third cousin, Mary Alden, in Sharon. , Belongs to Smart Set Priscilla writes that your fiancee. Miss Hamilton, belongs to what is called the smart set of Sharon. She describes them as “a little coterie of people who all have a good deal of money, which in most cases must make up for a lack of birth and breeding.” She did not say that the Hamiltons

are one of these “cases,” and I cannot bring myseif to think that they are, for surely a lineal descendant of John Alden could not select a wife from those who by accident of money only have become a part of that more or less spurious class we call American aristocracy. I am grievously hurt, John, that you have seen fit to let your mother become aware of this momentous event in your life through another. Surely, after you, I am the one most interested. Priscilla said in her letter that you probably had written me, for, ever since Leslie (what a queer name?) Hamilton (is she a descendant of that illegitimate Alexander Hamilton who fought a duel with Aaron Burr?) arrived home, there has been nothing in the society columns of the newspapers except accounts of the parties that have been given for her. and the elaborate trousseau she is preparing. Purchased Night Dress She even sent me a clipping which said that Miss Leslie Hamilton had purchased a night dress which was the replica of the wedding night dress of a recent royal bride. I cannot bring myself to send that to a man, even if that man be my sen. I hope that Miss Hamilton’s father has properly avenged this insult to his daughter ere this, upon the editor of this terrible newspaper. ' John, up to this time, the women of your family have always prided themselves that their names have appeared in the newspapers only three times, and then only with a dignified reticence—once when they were born, once when they were married and once when they were buried. I cannot get used to this blatant notoriety with which the modern young woman rushes into print. It seem sto go with the paint and powder and vulgar dressing which is affected by the modern miss. I was always in hope that when the time came for you to choose a wife, John, your choice would fall upon dear Priscilla Bradford. She has all the characteristics that go to make up a good wife. You have known her since you were children, and she would supply that stability of character that I arn seriously afraid you lack. Deserve Consideration But, alas, mothers are not consulted nowadays. I have known very little about you since you entered business at Albany. I expect I am old-fashioned and out of date in both principles and ideas, but at least. John. I deserve some consideration from you, for I am your

j NIGHT WIRE FROM JOHN VI DFN PRESCOTT TO MRS. MVRY XLDEN PRESCOTT. Forgive me, mother dear, for not writing before, hut I wanted to send you full particulars when I wrote and I have been so busy’ that I did not seem to find the time for a long letter. Letter is now in the mails. Do not let the insinuations of that nar-row-minded Priscilla Bradford prejudice you against the sweetest girl in all the world. The paragraphs Priseilla sent you were just bits of the modern newspaper sensationalism. Leslie probably is the most popular girl in Sharon, and as such every movement of her adorable eyeslashes would he considered news at this time. Rost assured, mother dear, I would not have married Priscilla had she been the last woman on earth. I know I am shocking you with this telegram, hut I am incensed at Priscilla Bradford, and even a little annoyed at you. my dear mother, that you could not understand the animus of her communication. A'ou will understand when you see Leslie why I love her, but T am sure you will not understand any more than I do. why such a wonderful girl as she could consent to marry such an average chap as your son JOHN.
