GIFTS FOR THE BOY
By CAROLINE CRAWFORD

The young woman who is not en-
gagged may not give a young man
jewelry. Cuff links, scarf pins and
rings (even plain, friendship ones)
are always omitted from the conven-
tional girls Christmas list. Nor
must she give him such personal
gifts as belts, silk shirts or socks.
If a young woman is in doubt
whether the young man will give her
a gift, it is we'll for her to be on the
safe side and merely to send him a
card with the seasons greetings.
The exchange of cards between a
man and a maid means nothing but a
general good fellowship or platoniC
friendship.
For the girl who will exchange
gifts with a man there are a num-
Der of fascinating articles this veal
to choose from. OF course, the
smoker always appreciates cigars, a
pipe or cigarets. There are also de-
lightful smoking stands, ash trays
and cigaret cases.
The chap who is alone in the city
will appreciate a leather sewing kit
| fitted out with thread, needles, scis-
sors and all the accessories. This
same type of man would also like
| something which would make his
room attractive. An appealing pic
ture or print, a pillow for his den, an
electric lamp or a stunning pair OF
book ends for his library table
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1923-12-11

would make most attractive and ap-
preciative gifts.
College boys always gloat over a
box of goodies. Cookies, stuffed
dates, a chocolate layer cake, fudge,
divinity or any of your own special
connections will delight him.
The girl who knits can please him
with a new sweater, muffler or pair
of skating gloves. The girl VINO is
clever with the needle can make MS
silk or cretonne knick-knacks for his
bureau which will be charming. Pin
trays, cuff button boxes, collar bags,
tie holders and handkerchief boxes
offer fascinating foundations for at
tractive and serviceable gifts.
For the man who reads there are
scores of new books this season.
Novels, books on science, travel snd
poetry attract many masculine
minds. One enterprising young wom-
an subscribed for magazine Tor
Young man, The reader will also be
pleased with an ivory book cutter
book ends, or a leather book holder
if he reads on the subway.
Leather bill holders, card cases
and hand bags make attractive glits
There are a number of interesting
games which will please the yolns
man, Nah Jong or Pung Chow, quolts
and a number of puzzle games woulo
make an ideal gift. The college
chap usually plays chess ana 1or nun
there is a tiny set which may DE
carried in his pocket.
This is the season of the year when
many friendships are renewed, many
hearts reunited. 1t is the time Wneh
card may bring about reconcliatloi
or kindle a new friendship. The girl
who is not certain about exchanging
gifts with a man may send MIN
card, thereby demonstrating mel
good spirit without wearing her
heart upon her sleeve.

FEUD IN TIL OFFICE

Ever so many of the letters that
come to me from business women
contain Indignant complaints about
80 and-So in our office, with whom
L simply cannot get along"
Almost every one has an office
feud with some one else, man or
woman, in the office, and the petty
situation apparently gets On the
nerves of the various correspondents
who relate the situations.
Is there some one in your office
with whom you simply cannot get
along?" If so, read this article and
think over it carefully.
OF course, the ideal solution in any
serious situation is to remove the diff
ficult or unpleasant obstacle. That.
unfortunately, is not always possible.
If you have not the power to dis
charge or to transfer the other per-
son, there he stays. Or, too, you
might move or leave your position.
But that, too, is a foolish change,
especially if you like your job and If
you have a good one.
If therefore, you cannot remove
yourself or the other person, isn't 1t
just common sense to make the best
of the situation and not let it worry
you unduly? 7 think that great
many of my correspondents exagger-
ate the difficulties of contact with
that person" There may be per-
sonal antagonism; it may or ay not
be justified; but why not take 1t
philosophically Do the best you can
to get along with the person; do your
work as well as you can. If you let
petty irritations. remarks and action
just roll off, as 1t were, and remem-
Der that after all you are at business
merely for the purpose of doing your
work, not to establish personal rela-
tions that are undesirable, you will

The author of the poem is I'M
known, but it cannot have been
written later than the twelfth cen
fury. DIR. Henry Coppee in his Con
quest of Spain by the Arab Moors,''
says: Based upon history, without
dramatic form, it is essentially dra-
matte in character, and presents to
us the events of the twelfth and thir-
teenth centuries in the rarest local
scoloring."
The Cid presented two distinct per-
sonages, Rodrigo, or Ruy Diaz Can

Spanish character, the Cid, whom
