Who Should Give Wedding; Presents?

Who should and who should not send presents? It is expected that none but relatives and intimate friends of the bride and groom and members of the two families shall send wedding presents, and the mere social acquaintance who violates this rule shows a woeful lack of knowledge, according to one authority on the polite convenances. As a rule. Jewels are presented only by relatives or the very closest friends, and the same thing may be said of small silver and furniture. During the last few years the custom of presenting objects of art In rare porcelains, ceramics and various metals, Instead of pieces of table silver, has greatly increased. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. .

DOOR DECORATION.

Wronjfht Iron Work Beeoalgf Vorr Fofilar For ThU Purpose. Special Interest usually attaches to the entrance of a house, and the popular demand for all kinds of decorative wrought iron shows to what an extent this interest has g?own In America, according to a writer in The Ladies’ World, who discourses on artistic door trimming of this description as follows: Beautiful examples of wrought Iron may be found on our public buildings and In wealthy homes all over the

ARTISTIC DOOR TRIMMINGS.

country. In the rapid spread of decorative Ideas the door, as presenting a smooth, even surface, Is one of the places on which decoration In wrought Iron shows to splendid advantage. Provided the ornamentation Is kept within reasonable limits and so as not to interfere with its usefulness, there Beems to be no end to the manner In which wrought iron may be applied with advantage to the doorway. Tlie ornamentation of a door should be intrusted to none but a competent workman. Otherwise the whole general appearance of the house may be spoiled. The first thought In the decoration of a door should be due regard for the general aspect of the house it Is designed to adorn. It will be readily seen that what would be suitable for a semidetached or country house would be out of place in a city block. The design accompanying this article conveys a definite idea ..of what is meant by artistic door trimming. The hinges, being the main feature of the door, should be, strong, in accordance with the weight and thickness of the door. The trimming may be flat or rounded up. as Individual taste may suggest, and be attached to the door with large wrought Iron nails or screws, the whole finished in dull black. The handle, as here shown, is smooth and of an oblong shape, as being preferable to the fanciful articles so much in use. If a quaint, old fashioned effect Is desired, have the manufacturer finish the Ironwork with a rough, uneven surface and show all the hammer marks or hand work. The Germans are very proficient at this kind of work, good Imitations of their old fashioned knockers, knobs, lamps, etc., having been successfully duplicated by workmen in this country. Soil was brought up from a depth of 826 feet from a coal mine In Belgium, and from it sprouted weeds of a species unknown to botanists.
