"If," said a thoughtful and wealthy woman to me recently, "the pear curate's bride may bereafter blossom into the bishop's wife, it is no reason for finding fifty silver articles figuring on her list of some seventy-five presents,"

Silver is cheap, and effective at the price, we all know. But then, how many young married couples start with a well-staffed establishment? And really, in nine cares out of ten, the silver that adorns the "presents table" at the reception would take ons maid a whole week's labour to keep pice-in town, at any rate..
