Give her furniture. Not a
Kitchen table or a rug for
the hall, but some intimate
piece of furniture. She'll be
glad to have you give her a
chaise longe-or a comfor-
table rocker for the sewing
corner. She'll delight in
having a convenient little
sewing basket in mahogany.
A boudoir lamp-or a dress
ing table will please her
more than you might think
or than she will admit.
You'll find it easy to find a
gift for her in Richmond.
Why not bring her and
make a day of it. Let her
go find something for you
while you go in the other di-
rection and find HER gift.
