The bridegroom’s mother was wearing an attractive gown of biscuit crepe faille, with a black hat, and her bouquet was of red roses. The Rev. Gilliam proposed the toasts at the reception. There is always a morning haste to get young people off to school or office, and If they take lunch in, there is probably a vacuum flask to be filled. If a few tea leaves pass into the flask the flavour of the tea is spoiled. A combined strainer and pourer prevents this occurrence, since it is so fine that not even a speck of tea dust can pass. It fits into the neck of the flask, and is also used for pouring out.
