Dedicate Fathers Day
To Things That Assure
His Kind of Enjoyment
Quality Pleasing to Men Far More Than
Quantity, and Gift Should Be Original
and Practical

him enjoy himself with completely
clear conscience for oncel
Keep up the good work during the
evening, with a perfect supper, and
his choice of amusement. You will be
rewarded a thousandfold for all your
forbearance by a most appreciative
husband, whose nerves and temper
have been soothed, whose ego has
been flattered and whose tummy has
led primrose path to his heart.
NOV, as to the more practical and
material aspects Of the case.
Most men dislike Junk quality
pleases them far more than quantity,
They don't want gifts that will clutter
up their room-at the same time, they
get very bored with the too practical
articles. Few men have ever agreed
with their wives in the matter of neck
ties and slippers, bathrobes. handker-
chiefs and socks have been the gift
theme song for so many years that
they have long since lost their pristine
charm.
Therefore. try and find something
really unusual, that combines origi-
nality and practicality, and subtly
compliments the recipients taste in
the matter of hobbies. If he is seri-
Gus pipe smoker. with penchant for
special shapes and woods, possibly he
might be utterly delighted with wal
nut pipe rack, supporting six pipes
with an exceedingly efficient humidor
in the middle for keeping his tobacco
at its very best. You can either buy
it complete with pipes, or without,
ready TO hold those choice models
which he has already assembled.

EOR the man whose work keeps him
"on the go" from morning to
night. more compact arrangement
would perhaps fill the bill. There is
leather tobacco pouch, with a Spe-
cial compartment to carry pipe-it
comes with beautiful pipe already in
it, by the way-and the whole thing
is neatly fastened all around with a
Upper.
A fitted dressing case, Of pigskin,
very neat and compact, with nom
tarnishable chromium fittings, would
be a boon to the man who has to do a
great deal of travelling. and for the
man who Is beginning to worry about
his hair and scalp. a set Of good mill
tary brushes would be splendid gift.
OF course, there are dozens of
smaller items-bill clips of gold, sport
ing crystals inclosing the owners
monogram in color; cuff link and stud
sets of semi-precious stone, and all
sorts of collar pins and tie-holders in
novel shapes and materials.
IF HE loves horses, and rides a great
L deal. give him some new bit of tack
for his favorite mount: if sailing is his
hobby, choC>s something he wants in
the way of special gadget for his
boat. For hunting, shooting or fish,
ing, mother has to be bit careful In
selecting any additional equipment.
Men who take these sports seriously
are pretty fussy about the details and
it is very easy matter to go wrong
in such purchase.
There are so many fields from which
to choose an appropriate and welcome
gift that there Is not enough space
to go into them here. But do ascer-
tain. as Sub rosa" as you can. just
what the master of the house really
yearnS for and then do your best to
supply it. One combination gift from
