HANDKERCHIEFS have been
popular gifts for many years,
and there are always friends for
whom dainty handkerchiefs are
just the right thing. Despite the
fad for gayly colored varieties,
the severe white linen ones.
especially those with an inch
wide. hemstitched border. retain
their standard of appropriateness.
Parker and Bridget Company. in
their woman's department. have
pleasing assortment. Seventy
five cents and 81 are the average
prices. 1t would be a good idea
to have a half dozen of these hand
Eerchiefs to meet any gift emerg-
ency.
CLIPPER buckles are the style
of the moment No slipper
is quite complete without some
buckle. The varieties are many.
Cut steel. brilliants. leather, gun
metal, severe silver. and COM
bina tions of beads and metals are
a few of the styles. Val Ritcher
has an assortment that will meet
the demands of the most fastidi-
Gus. The prices. begin at S1.50
and go as high as the most ex-
travagant purse would wish. An
ideal present for sister, grand
mother, sweetheart or friend.
