Stratton, Jr.; Richard Cannon of Danville, Illinois; Mr. and Mrs. Albert Reed, Mrs. Fred Barnham of New Orleans, and Mrs. Charles Fraser of Orange, New Jersey. , Mrs. Asquith, who is just now in the limelight In England as the wife of the prime minister, always gives books as wedding gifts. It makes no difference how illustrious the bride may be, she gets a book from the famous Mrs. Asquith. Every one in London ,who follows her caprices is now following her choice of wedding gifts. If you can not afford silver and gold, make it your maxim to give a book or an edition of books on all occasions. It makes gift-giving half the trouble that it is when you rush around town to try to get something that may suit each bride. Whether or not the couple to be married cares for books is not the question. Every one should care for books and every one must have them. If they are not read they are decorative. Don't make the mistake of sending a volume of well-known poems. It is not polite. You must suppose that every bride has such literature. If you can send sets of books
