NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-Christ-
mas gifts for a woman, be she wife,
mother, sister or sweetheart, really
should flatter her vanity.
All women have little bit of
it. Many of them lack money to
purchase those luXuries that feed
it. Women who get out Of the
home daily are truly appreciatlve
of lovely gifts that heighten their
attractiveneSS.
Women in the home need them
even more, to bolster up their
psychology.
First of all flattering gifts are
those dedicated to beauty, such as
perfumes, powders, fine soaps, bath
salts. compacts, exotic cold creams
and makeup Filings. Discover
brands she likes before you buy,
however. Next come handsome or
bizarrely stunning containers for
such as these.
Fine Glass Is Good
Fine spun glass dressing table
bottles and walls, perhaps in one of
the new bubble or gingham pat
termed crystal with colored stop
pers: elegant atomizers with bottles
of perfumery; new dressing table
sets of mirror, comb, brush and
manicure set with all the crystal
gadgets repeating their design.
Dressing tables, powder tables,
makeup boxes, are sure to please.
So of course are tickets to high
class beauty parlorS, hair special
lists or one of the reducing estab-
lishmentS.
Fine lingerie probably is the next
best choice. All women love hand
made pretties and some of the new
dance sets, with their backless slips
and teddies, are exquisite in deli
cate colOrS, lace trimmed
NegIigees Are Beautiful
NegIgees this year, gone quite
feminine, are beautiful. Mules to
accompany them are delicate and
appealing as flowers. Silk hosiery
is one gift sure to please, especially
the mesh kind. Boudoir pillows,
bed and pillow cover sets and such
luxuries as chaise lounges might
take 20 years from mothers feel
ings.
Evening gadgets always delight
the dancing girl. New chiffon
handkerchiefs should be chosen to
heighten the effect of her favorite
dance frock. Evening purses may
be had in brOcaded lanes that will
flatter any colored gown
Long gloves are an excellent
choice, since they are one of the
very latest accessories to appear on
Fashions horizon.
Wide Variety in Jewelry
Jewelry is both the happiest
choice and the hardest. If one has
much money, there are such eX-
quisite necklaces, bracelets, brooches
rings, cigaret holders, evening
compacts, purses set in real gems.
If one hasn't, there are beautiful
imitation pearl necklaces, of the
new fashion with crystal medal
lions, brooches and clasps, costume
sets in contemporary design, sports
sets of novelty leather links in neck
laces, bracelets and belts, with
sometimes sports sandal buckles,
too.
A dainty pair of jeweled slipper
buckles, a monogram for a purse.
a jeweled pin or clip TO ornament
a hat, or a pair of long, dangling
earrings which are quite the latest
style, all are acceptable.
FurS, frocks and other articles
of clothing are difficult to choose
successfully, so one should have a
hint" or two before deciding on
these.
But bright, colorful rainy-day APP
parel delights the school girl and
business woman. A new, squat,
plaided or striped umbrella is a nice
gift, too.
