MAGA ZINE PAGE, Wedding Gift Acknowledgments BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. HE prompt acknowledging of wedding presents is an impor- tant duty of a bride. This is not only & ccurtesy which can- not be neglected without em- barrassment, but its neglect sometimes becomes & serious matter with firms which have sent out the gifts. The head of one of the finest silversmith shops in this country said to me re- cently that frequently they were put to endless _trouble by neglect of such ac- knowledgments.

Then, when the bride does send the required perscnal notes of thanks “she can refer to the book to refresh her memcry. As the gifts are set down in the order of their being received, they can easily be acknowledged in sequence. To facilitate recording of gifts there are volumes de lux which come for the express purpose. A bride treas- ures this handsome book and puts it away as a happy reminder of the wed- ding and her thoughtful friends. But it does not need to be an expensive record book. Any well bound blank | book can serve the purpose and it, too, will be prized. | fards of formal acknowledgments can be bought aiso. Blank lines are left for the name of the giver and for mention of the gift received from the sender and for the bride’s maiden name, for jt is she who receives the | presents. Or long-hand notes can be | sent, which are equally formal. They | state that Miss So-and-So gratefully | acknowledges the (naming the gift) from (name of sender) and will send | & personal note later. These formal notes of acknowledgment are a great | help to the bride, for they release her | from immediate letter writing and they satisfy senders that the presents have | been received promptly.

N the year 1812 Minor Spicer lived in a little house on the southern l shore of Lake Erie with his wife and children. There were two other white families nearby, but a band of Indians could have overcome the little settlement. One dark night a call came from the front of the cabin. Spicer picked up his rifle and opened the door. There stood an Indian, who had dismounted from a horse he had been riding. Over the back of the horse was a slain deer “Injun tired, cold, sleepy,” said the stranger. Spicer thought that the Indian might possibly be a spy, but he invited him to spend the night in the cabin. After tying_his horse and unloading | the deer, the Indian entered. He could | speak few English words. but he pointed | | to the deer and then to the fire | “He is hungry,” said Mrs. Spicer, and | she prepared @ slice of venison for the guest. He accepted it with seeming pleasure, but he ate only a little of it The rest he slipped into a bag. “Ha!" thought Spicer. “He was only making believe that he was hungry.
