The gift was from two of the bridegroom's friends, who had worked under him in construction camps, and wished to show his bride just how much they thought of her husband. The tea set, of massive silver, exquis- itelv. and heavily chased, was accom- panied by a large silver kettle wronght in the same way as the rest of the silver. - oe - Mre. TI. V.
