40 you are planning to give her
something to wear? What shall
it be? That depends, to begin
~ with, on whether you already
know her sizes, or can learn them
by stealth, because it spoils the surprise
II you have to ask her outright, and we
are much opposed to the sort of pre-
arranged Christmas giving that makes
the gift an old story by December rs.
If by good fortune you know the size
Of her stockings, you are fortunate, and
to make this sort of gift especially at
tractive this season, many of the shops
provide a charming gift chest when you
buy six pairs of Christmas stockings
and an equally charming gift box when
you buy three.
WHETHER you choose service weight,
w silk net, silk chiffon with lace
clocks, silk and wool or fine quality
Isle depends on whether this girl you
have in mind is Is or so, fond Of
outdoor sports or interested chiefly in
dancing. If you are not quite certain
of her taste in stockings, remember
that q good quality sheer silk stocking
Of one of the darker. duller beige tones
10 pretty sure to be acceptable.
Long gloves are still something of @
luxury and you may be sure that almost
any girl of your acquaintance would be
glad to find q pair tucked away in her
stocking. Sixteen button length white
glace gloves are conventional for formal
evening occasions, but many women
prefer suede and present custom sane
lions them even for most important oc-
casions. Dark evening gloves have, Of
course, enjoyed great favor, but white
or very light cream tone is better
selection for the friend whose choice
in such matters you do not quite know.
When in doubt as to an appropriate
and acceptable gift for mother, daugh-
ter, grandmother, aunt or best friend
you can safely settle the problem BY
choosing some sort of jewefSy. And you
need no longer apologize for giving
something that costs but little, becs3se
every one wears inexpensive costume
Jewelry nowadays-even the women
who have priceless pearls, rubies and
diamonds in their collections.
nLD-FASHIONED jewelry. either
~ genuine or imitation, is acceptable
at present to wear with picturesque
evening and afternoon dresses Of nine
teenth century suggestion. A necklace
made of slender pieces of black or col
cred enamel strung together on fine
n-tarnishable metal links has q
pendanS resembling an oi0-time oval
locket
Gold or gold-plated chains Of quaint
} design are finished with pendants set
with carved amethygts, carnelian or
other colored stones. Turquoise neck
laces and other ornaments are sure to
and favor with the woman who follows
fashion and these are closely followed
IN popularity by necklaces, bracelets
and earrings OF rubies or garnets or
limitations Of these fine red stones.
A clip set with baguettes or rhine
!, stones in sterling silver may be bought
for 50 or 90 and used to ornament hat,
frock or handbag. A pair Of clips may
Be used as slipper buckles or one may
be used on the hat and the other on
the bag. or one may be fastened to the
left shoulder strap Of the evening dress
and the other to the side Of the belt.
