TT HAS been noticed lately by
retail dealers that there is a
greater demand for blankets
than for wooden quilts comfort
ables as we sometimes call them
and that this preference for
blankets is on the increase.
For some reason or other women
are coming TO prefer blankets to
comfortables. This may be be-
cause Of the fact that blankets
may be bought in interesting de-
signs and colors.
Formerly most women bought
white blankets with pink, blue or
red borders. The gray blanket
was not looked upon with so much
favor. In cold weather beds were
usually made up with pair of
blankets between the top sheet
and the white counterpane. Then
n wool quilt or comfortable was
rolled up and placed at the foot
OF the bed. II was there In case
Il should be needed for additional
warmth. II came to be looked
upon as necessary adjunct TO the
properly made bed and some
housewives were very exacting as
10 Just how these comfortables
should be folded and looped back.
Sometimes folded in four. one cor
ner was thrown back TO show the
contrasting lining. Some women
always preferred TO have them
rolled and sometimes they were
folded and then gathered back in
the middle OF the fold. There
were as many ways 10 arrange q
bed quilt as there we're ways Il
fold dinner napkins I'm the minds
of country hotel walters.
Blankets Now i'm Favor.
But now very often the cove
for additional warmth is blan
ket. The fact that blankets ma!
be bought in every color and IL
numerous combinations OF color
has made them attractive. Tn
up-to-date bride in buying he
household equipment buys blan
kets with reference 10 the colo
schemes OF the rooms in whicl
they are to be used. II Is ais
true that expensive blankets ar
often chosen as wedding presents

Christmas Gifts
- To Buy
And Remember This 10 the Time TO
Buy Them. Don't Wait.

ONE OF the useful things is
gloves. And this year there
are most attractive gloves or
ansora and other long-haired wool.
Some OF them are OF tan or gray
and they are lined with color-pink'
green. blue-as far as cuffs are con-
cerned. These have wide gauntlet
cuns. Then there are others that
depend for their decoration on
bands Of color at the top OF the
wrist section. Those that are not
gauntletcd are made with long
wrists. In ribs. so that rhey cling
snugly and warmly, but also stretch
sufficiently so that they may be
worn over the coat sleeve.
Then. OF course, there IL a fan.
There arc such lovely ones OF
ostrich that II is difficult TO look at
any others. Some are made OF
single big ostrich feather mounted
on handle OF amber or tortoise.
Others are made I'm the more con-
ventional fashion. But aside from
ostrich there are lovely fans OF net.
spansled with color-green. blue,
silver or rose. There are other fans
Of black lace run with silk floss OF
different colors. There are net fans
shaped like n rcctangle-most fans
are an approximate tragic. There
are fans OF painted gauze and there
are fans beaded with Jet.
There IS n leather telephone shield
Tor desk telephone that is decided
Is good looking. II stands upright
with an opening for the mouthpiece
pierced through Its center. And be-
low the mouthpiece IS a pad for
telephone numbers and names. This
comes In the various colors usual
in desk accessories in leather
brown and rose. green, gray and
black.
Perfume IN one form or another
constitutes many Christmas gifts.
one thing be sure OF IL you are Civ
ing perfume. BE sure that the
recipient used perfume, and that
she is not one OF those rare but
decided women who detest IL. A
perfume-loving woman could like
nothing better than good bottle,
no matter how small, OF perfume.
one sort OF perfume gift that one
might give is expensive. and con-
sists IN n box OF black. lined with
green satin. and filed with half
dozen bottles or boxes OF toilet ac-
cessories. such as powder, rouge
toilet water and perfume. These
boxes are imported from France.
But similar ones are got UP by the
domestic perfume makers, quite as
charming and less expensive.
For a child OF the right age a
rocking horse of some sort is a very
acceptable gift. You can get beau
tlful horses that are mounted on
rockers, but that can be detached
by the unscrewing OF a clamp to
make OF them suitable horses for
pulling about by strap. These
horses come in various prices. And
he sure that the small Child will like
one OF the less expensive ones quite
as well as the more expensive one
he has never seen. The one You
choose is the one he will learn to
love.

worth.
Well. they was plumber resting
in the house the other day and vile
he was here the idear flashed on me
and | asked him to let me see a 500
I'LL minute and he let me see a fed
eral reserve note for that amount and
sure enough it was Just like l re-
membered it. They was a picture OF
Cleveland on one side of it and the
ether side showed a train and aero
plane and a automobile and a big
steam boat and a little tug boat and
what any of them things has got to
do with $40 is misery to me, unlest
tie automobile wasla taxi which you
could see it wasn't because the driver
was looking aheadg
In the LIST place they's no sense
makeing bills now days in denomi-
nations like 81 and IS and $40 and
etc. What they ought to be is 81. 10,
$3.50, $22, $27 80 and so on up. Then
Instead of sticking pictures on them
that don't mean nothing. | would have
pictures of the different things that
can be boughten for the amt l.. of the
/ bill and whatever articles the govt.
advertised this way, why somebody
would half to pay for the advertise
ment just like it was in a magazine
or a newspaper.
Like for inst on a $1.1O bill on the
side where they usually have a pic
ture of Cleveland or somebody, |
would have picture of a man that
! only gets 81. 10 per hr. like a U s.
senator or window wiper or some
thing. On the other side they would
be picture of a man getting shave
in THE hotel an order of
spinach and whatever else you can
buy for 81 10 which | can't think of
nothing just now.
On one side of the $3.50 bill would
be a picture of SIS so per hr. man,
say a plasterer or a man that puts
w screens. On the advertising side
they would be pictures of ticket to
the FCllies, five Jumps of coal, a
lower berth from one town to another
like Minneapolis to st. Paul safety
razor, and etc.
The $z2 bill would show on one
side skilled labor that earns $22
per hr. like a hat check boy. The
other side would have pictures of 1
silk skirt, a pair of shoes, and etc.
And so on up to the big bills like
the $4,000 bill which l would have on
one side of it a picture of one of the
White Sex that has involuntarily re-
tired from baseball and the other
side would be all margin, an ad' of
some brokerage firm.
Advertising rates would be more
on the smaller bills on acct. of the
ditferents in circulation, but where
could they be a better medium es
pecially when the public begins to
Fay premiums or the bills that has
pictures of their favorite ball player
o! plumber? And don't forget that
my autograph would be on every bill
as secy of the treasury.
These is the kind of idears l would
bring into the treasury dept. gents,
and if you want these kind of brains
IN that dept. or any other dept. write
t. your nearest congressman and ell
him to get busy in my behalf. And
il Mr. Harding asks him what kind
OF a man L am personly, tell him to
say my handicap at Great Neck is an
eagle 80.
