and this year you can work
out many individual schemes
with the use of color, white
initials on colored handker
chiefs, and vice-verSa. Lots Of
people haven't any of the new
larger handkerchiefs, so will be
pleased with the newness of
them. A man will like mono
grams on his shirts, small neat
ones on the sleeve, and any
woman will love her initials
on her lingerie, on her sweater
or her scarf.
For the woman who is inter

is almost unlimited. There are
all types of linens for the ia

placing the initial. There are

Immediately and order lettering

Signatures New
Speaking of planning, it is
we'll to consider the person
you're giving initiated things to
when you select the type of let
tering. And old-fashioned script
will suit some people. Others
will prefer stark or bulky mod
ern letters. A new idea that
will please almost anyone Is a
signature. Whatever design you
decide on, be sure not to have
too many colors, for a mixture
is apt to detract from the de-
sign instead Of bringing 1t into
clear relief.

Washington F dshions
BY WILMA LAVILLE

Do you realize that Christmas
is less than six weeks away. And
how many lists are made out?
How many gifts ordered? There
are some things that must be
done at once, things like mono.
gramming, and other gifts that
show the individuality of the
giver or the one who receives.
This will no doubt be a year Of
practical gifts, of things that
are not only beautiful but can
be used, and in this class come
the many things that are mono
grammed. In addition they
show special thought for the per.
son they are given to, and for
that reason they are always
doubly appreciated.
For Hostess Gifts
Monogramming is more of
fashion than ever, and this year
there are many new things that
can carry initials. There are
handbags for instance. Moth
\ ing is smarter than initials on
a gold plate on a bag, or initials
can be bought separately and
put on nearly any bag. Other
personal gifts include stationery.
Every woman takes more
pride in her letters If she has
good-looking paper with her
own initials. This applies to
men, too, and stationery with
the name of the home is a
nice gift to give to a family,
perhaps to people who have
entertained you in their home.
You can include the metal die,
too, so that they may order
more at their convenience.
Useful Home Gifts
A monogrammed automobile
robe is a stunning gift to a
man, woman, or a family. A
cigarette case may go to either
sex, and it's smart to have
initials inside a case. if it is
finished S m o h. Then. OF
