The annual Christmas present hunt

few weeks.
Already many girls and women have
begun to make gifts for their friends
and for other givers.
What shall 1 give Mrs. Blank?" is
the question that worries many
women
Since the war, when economy was
uppermost in our minds, there has
been a revival of the handmade gift
that used to be so popular.
incidentally, no longer need any
woman hesitate to give a small gift,
rather than to give a handsome. ex-
pensive wifi she cannot afford. Gift
economy is one of the lessons that re-
manned after the war ended.
Answer to ANXIOUS: You are for
tunate to be able to make your Chris
mas gifts. There is no reason why
you should hesitate to give such gifts
as handmade handkerchiefs and
painted candy boxes and perfume bot
ties, even though you know your
friends will give you more expensive
gifts.
Although some people may value
gifts according to their price, worth
while people do not. Besides. the
gifts you plan to make are the sort
women like most, whether they cost
much or little.
Answer to ESTELLE-You can get
Halloween decorations for parties
now. The oldfashioned Halloween
parties, with Jack-o' lanterns and
ghosts" apples and pumpkins, are
as much fun as they were twenty
years ago. If you can rent an empty
house for the occasion, do It. II the
house has any ghost stories attached
to 1t. so much the better.
If no empty house is available. use
an attic. Cornstalks. pumpkins and
black cats make the best decorations.
OF course you will want a fortune
teller. in a dark tent.
Make your guests bob for apples.
