much rare delight as the sight of the dislinctive gray Linen

crystal one can imagine. The care with which it is made

bespeaks the care with which you choose it, and its

radiance is reflected for years to come in the eyes of the

person to whom it is given.

amazingly pleasant experience. Whether arranging custom
