Cherished gift
There's a particularly
happy reception awaitin
any gift of sterling. Fo
• silver's not only
lovely possession to b
enjoyed for its rich, lus
trous gleam and fine
craftsmanship, but a
treasure to be valued fo
its very real worth.
Sterling's a precious
metal with intrinsic value
and this value — high
now — gives every indica-,
tion of becoming higher
in the future.
Future heirloom
For the young couple,
this means that owning
sterling is quite a bit,like
having your cake and eat-
ing it, too. For while it's
used and enjoyed, it's also
an investment for the fu-
ture, and will some day
so become a cherished heir-
om loom to be passed on to
he the children.
ore Most brides, however,
e look at sterling with an
eye toward the immediate,
nt rather than the distant,
er future — entertaining
be friends and relatives, for
re instance, at those first
ft dinner parties. And noth-
t ing else conveys quite so
at well the special -occasion
r- atmosphere they want.
That's why every gift of
e sterling, large or small, is
e so appreciated at this time.
e Convenient gifting
e The bridal gift registry
r' offers an especially con-
ts
venient way for gift -givers a sterling d -to select is gif t
for the bride. All that's
is necessary is a phone call
or visit to the bridal gift
consultant at the store
where the bride-to-be
made her tableware
g choices.
or She can supply all the
a information you need —
e the name of the engaged
- girl's pattern, the place
and serving pieces she
wants most, and those
✓ which she has yet to re-
ceive.
Options available
There are so many op-
tions available, too, in
sterling gifts. It can be
as bountiful and magnifi-
• cent as an entire set, or
it can be one single, shin-
ing piece.
The bride -knows the'
value of sterling today,
and you can be sure that
even one teaspoon or salad
fork in solid silver will be
a welcome and cherished
addition to her set.

THE UNVEILING
Wedding veils were un-
heard-of in the 1700's.
Instead, hats, trimmings
or flowers were used. It's
said that Maria Monroe
(the daughter of President
James Monroe) along with
her sister and mother
wore ostrich plumes in
their hair! Of course, styl-
ish women in those days
wore wigs or very elabo-
rate hair -dos' which would
make a veil inconvenient
at best.
