BRIDAL PRESENTS

THE QUEEN'S CIPHER

• The Queen departed from hor usual custom of presenting jewellery set with tho royal cipher to bridos mC the Court circle and sent to the Hon. Imogen Grenfell, whose marriage to Viscount Gage took place recently, a beautiful dressing case (states the "Daily Mail.") The bag, which was small and of handbag design, was of green crushed morocco leather, and nearly the whole of the top was covered by a circular plaque of white jade, exquisitely patterned. The bottles and other fittings were finished with soft green enamel to match the leather. A number of presentations was made to Miss Grenfell, at Panshanger, Lord and Lady Desborough's Hertfordshire seat. She received from the employees on. tho estate a cut ' crystal lamp of great beauty and 2ft 6in in height. The tenantry gave her an Italian painted dressing-table sot with an old mirror in a painted gold frame, and candlesticks at either side to hold electric bulbs, and a chair to match. The Women's Institute presented two Italian painted wood boxes; the Working Men's Club a silver travelling clock; and the schoolchildren a pair of book ends and a .bridge set. The presentations wore made at a. 3 -gathering at Panshanger at which Lord and Lady Desborough, the bride, and Lord Gage were present.
