We have always known of hand en-
broidered and initiated kerchiefs as
gifts for al male members of our So
cial circles. But the idea Of providing
men with plenty of big, gay sports
kerchiefs is new. You may buy by the
yard fine linen in sports colors and
hemstitch them yourself, or you may

buy tW0-tone kerchiefs and then make
red, blue, yellow and green monograms
in the corners, jnst like those in the
pictures. Men love to f1aunt these CAV
mementoS.
Just copy his signature, transfer 1t
to the corner Of handkerchief and

stitch. This makes an individual Gift
which will please any man.

be traceable to the pagan rites which

"After all there is nothing in a
strange land like a newspaper from
home. Even a letter, in many re-
spects, is nothing in comparison with
it. It carries you back to the spot
better than anything else" Richard
Henry Dana wrote this in "Two Years
Before the Mast" and there is more
in it today than Dana ever put there.
Doesn't this suggest to you that a
subscription to the Chief would be a
most acceptable Christmas gift for
your boy in the training camp or
cover there?
