WHAT TO GIVE HIM FOR
A CHRISTMAS GIFT
Useful Offerings That Every Man
Is Sure TO AppT0CiSH.

A man is only q man after all. and
he likes useful gifts. no matter who
he may be- II you are wealthy OF II
your income is quite moderate the fol-
lowing gift suggestions may be adopt
ed. as they are things that may cost
only 4 little VI may be quite expensive:
Ii IS rather curious that woman's one
idea of "a gift 10 man is a cravat.
for it is the one thing that a man de
tests having selected for him. But
man can nearly always wager that a
woman will get him cravat Of q color
that is not becoming TO him or one
that is too absurd to wear And yet
hundreds Of thousands Of women insist
npOn giving cravats for Yuletide gifts.
II you are overpowered by this idea
please have a little mercy on mankind
aud select black and white cravats.
for they are smart and are becoming
TO every man SILK knitted ties are
again in vogue. especially those that
are three TO four inches wide. Ties OF
heavy faconne silks are also indorsed
by London.

Presents Made From Net.

Surely some one who is a bit puz-
zled over Christmas things win be
glad To know whut attractive gifts can
be fashioned out of remnants Of net
These remnants can be picked up at
the curtain goods counter as well as
at the department Of laces. where nets
are likely to be higher. Collar pro
tectors. to keep the blouse collar from
being soiled by coat or furs. are made
Of a strip of net or all over lace about
a third Of a yard or even less in width
and almost yard long. A narrow
hem is run in on both sides and each
end gathered up closely and finished
with any kind of tassel. black silk
white cotton, gilt or a small crocheted
white ball Occasionally these pro
tectOrs have a few tiny pin tucks or
gatherings in the center Of the scarf
the height Of a collar, and some con
ceal II tiny weight where the end tas-
sci is put on. a bit Of color may be
added. but It is wisest to make the
protectors so that they may be laun-
dered.

RED HAIR
AND GENUS
NOT ALLIED

History shows that no great genius
ever had red hair. Alone among the
poets of the world was Swinburne,
whose hair was distinctly reddish, and
among the great reformers only John
Bunyan's hair was really red The
Simon Pure carroty head, however,
appears nowhere linked to world
fame.
The flaxen-haired blond or the man
whose hair when an adult is true
yellow also remains marked apart as
being unlikely to possess genius.
Should one such be, his only compan-
ion will be Thackeray, whose hair Is
described as yellow. Charles Kassel
has reviewed the biographies Of most
OF the eminent people of the worlds
histories and tabuIated his results, so
far as the color of the hair is con-
