Mother and Dad never seem to -have much
trouble arriving at a conclusion about -what to
give their' offspring for a wedding gift, but
few others invited to the wedding, experience
such ease in choosing a gift.
The main thing for bridal gift -givers to remem-
ber is that today's bride and' groom tend to be
practical minded. For instance, the. thought;
ful gift of a counter -top broiler is greatly appre-

The prohibitive cost of sterling silver items has
made gifts of sterling a rarity: But it is this
very ,expensiveness which makes them .all the
more precious. A perrennia4 favorite with
brides is any size Revere bowl.
THE REVERE bowls also can serve as an
appropriate gift for a bride to' ,present to her
attendants as a gift. They are more personal
and memorable when they are monogrammed
,with the attendant's initials. 1 -
Bridal consultants ate trying this season to
change the "myth of the registry." It, seems
that brides`for decades, have thought one co,uld,
only register. china, silverware, and glassware
• 6n bridal registries. Now the -cry is "Not .so!
and consultants are' encouraging couples' to
register for everything- froth artwork to Mon-
golian brass cookers.
One of the most' appreciated gifts that any
bridal couple with a practical mind can re-
ceive is a folding. card table. Most are'not ,
outlandishly expensive for the gift -giver, but
the usuability of such a gift is great.

AT FIRST, a card .table will be the perfect
size for intimate dinners for two. Later, it will :.
,still be used (if d quality table is given) 'for its
original purpose. Best of all, such a table stores
in most any closet without taking up.. mdch
precicsus space.
Also very popular with modern couples are
any wooden items' Salid bowls, salt and•pepper
shakers you name it — pare all useful and
lifetime items which serve many purposes
besides being lovely.
The most important things to remember in
'the buying and • giving of gifts for modern
couples is practicality . and usefulness. Keep
in„mind that the best gifts are'those which say
a personal wish fo'r -a lifetime ,pf 'happiness.
