Really you are too generous--it is outrageous of you--but, of course, it _is_ the most beautiful bracelet! And I am so excited oven it, I hardly know what I am doing. You are too good to me and you spoil me, but I do love you, and it, and thank you with all my heart. Mary. _Intimate_ Dear Mrs. Neighbor: The tea cloth is perfectly exquisite! I have never _seen_ such beautiful work! I appreciate your lovely gift more than I can tell you, both for its own sake and for your kindness in making it for me. Don't forget, you are coming in on Tuesday afternoon to see the presents. Lovingly, Mary. Sometimes pushing people send presents, when they are not asked to the wedding, in the hope of an invitation. Sometimes others send presents, when they are not asked, merely through kindly feeling toward a young couple on the threshold of life. It ought not to be difficult to distinguish between the two. =I= My Dear Mrs. Upstart: Thank you for the very handsome candlesticks you sent us. They were a great surprize, but it was more than kind of you to think of us. Very sincerely, Mary Smith. =II= Dear Mrs. Kindly: I can't tell you how sweet I think it of you to send us such a lovely present, and Jim and I both hope that when we are in our own home, you will see them often at our table. Thanking you many times for your thought of us, Very sincerely, Mary Smith. _For a Present Sent After the Wedding_ Dear Mrs. Chatterton: The mirror you sent us is going over our drawing-room mantel just as soon as we can hang it up! It is exactly what we most needed and we both thank you ever so much. Please come in soon to see how becoming it will be to the room. Yours affectionately, Mary Smith Smartlington. =THANKS FOR CHRISTMAS OR OTHER PRESENTS= Dear Lucy: I really think it was adorable of you to have a chair like yours made for me. It was worth adding a year to my age for such a nice birthday present. Jack says I am never going to have a chance to sit in it, however, if he gets there first, and even the children look at it with longing. At all events, I am perfectly enchanted with it, and thank you ever and ever so much. Affectionately, Sally. Dear Uncle Arthur: I know I oughtn't to have opened it until Christmas, but I couldn't resist the look of the package, and then putting it on at once! So I am all dressed up in your beautiful chain. It is one of the loveliest things I have ever seen and I certainly am lucky to have it given to me I Thank you a thousand--and then more--times for it. Rosalie. Dear Kate:
