Christmas Giving.

Self reliance, generosity without
carelessness, can be fostered in quite
young children who are allowed their
own Christmas spending money. A
little supervision may be in order, but
for the most part let the children do
their own Christmas giving.
One parent we know gave her two
children, aged 4 and 6, so cents each
to spend for Christmas presents. They
bought 10 cents worth Of colored
string and paper, wrapped their own
gifts and went around the neighbor-
hood delivering. Approximately eight
presents were bought by each. Some
of these gifts were q pencil for the
father, set of blotters for the mother,
some colored chalk, ball, whistle,
q bar of chocolate and so forth for
younger friends.
Give them to spend according to
your means, letting them give better
presents If you can afford it, but al
ways intoxicating a sense of the use
fulness and appeal Of gift regardless
of its monetary value.

BY BARBARA BELL.

THERE are certain types Of
women that wear the tunic
dress with great chic. Some
Il women don't, so the first thing
to do is to study your type. Perhaps
you have. Perhaps you know that
you look perfectly stunning in the
broken length of skirt topped by a
tunic blouse. II you do you are
one of the lucky ones, and should
simply grab this dress in hurry, for
it Is a beautifully designed thing,
smart as the military mode can make
it, and grand for the lightweight
woods to be worn under a coat now,
and without one later, when warmer
days come.
The blouse is fastened in a slanting
line by braided frogs. Another frog
fastens the wide, tailored belt, and it
doesn't matter what medium the belt
is fashioned of, the frog should be
the same as that which fastens the
blouse. If you want leather or
suede belt, just take of the buckle
that came with it and affix your own
particular little frog! The collar is
narrow, close about the throat, and
proceeds on the place where the top
Of the blouse is fastened. Sleeves are
quite tailored, fitted enough to make
them look trim and neat. The tunic
comes together at the waistlines, but
has a tendency to part enough to
show the skirt beneath. When you
walk the effect is very smart. It ends
at the knees, or thereabouts, and is
shout as nice an Interpretation OF this
particular mode as we've seen.

Wrappings
Add Charm
To the Gift

WRAPPNGs may not make the
Christmas gift, but they 60 long
way toward expressing the spirit Of the
giver and emphasizing the gayety of
the Yuletide season.
And the wise shopper who looks to
her Christmas papers and ribbons
early enough to have a choice before
stocks run low will have cause for
congratulation when her packages do
credit to her originality and artistry
as wrapper.
Doing up Christmas packages can
be lots of fun II you are among the
wise ones who do their Christmas
shopping early and have plenty Of time
to wrap up their gifts leisurely, fuss
with them a bit and take pride in
making them as beautiful as possible.
Christmas gift wrappings have never
been so gay as this year and all sorts
of amusing conceitS have been devised
to make them decorative and exciting.
Among the newest papers being intro
duced by manufacturers exhibiting In
the Merchandise Mart, Chicago, are
designs which are more than family
reminiscent Of old Italian canvaseS
with tapestry patterns in rich hues Of
blue, magenta, ruSset brown high
lighted with gilt and deep green. These
colorS are replacing the traditional
scarlet and green this season, although
the latter, of course, will always be
good.
Other designs show q strong mod
ernistic influence, among the S1ore in
teresting in the latter group being the
cellophane papers with reindeer and
Winter scenes which suggest Japanese
etchings. The polka dot pattern
which has been featured in china as
well as chintz this season also has in
vaded the Christmas wrapping field
and these papers have matching rib
bons.
Manufacturers have given a good
deal Of thought to the outside cover
ings for children's gifts, as is evident
in papers that portray the adventures
Of Mickey Mouse, the three bears and
other nursery favorites. There are
also wee little replicas Of Mother Goose
faVorites In cotton which may be tied
to the gift to give it further charm.
Special papers have been designed for
wrapping mems gifts. among the latter
being tissues which depict hunting and
other sports scenes.
ReadyItied rosettes are available in
bright eolors and there are also gay
little punches Of fruit to replace the
customary spray of holly or mistletoe
on a Christmas package.
The gold Of Florida citrus fruit and
sunshine was responsible for a prize
winning package in a display Of
Christmas gift wrappings at the Chi
cago Mart. The package was wrapped
in golden-hued cellophane and tied
with green cellophane ribbon and
rosette, with q spray Of kumquats to
add q further Southern touch.

Perfumes
Should Be
nGiftList
Scores of New Sweet
Scents to Be Had
This Year.
BY ELSIE PIERCE,

THIS is meant for masculine eyes
and, If necessary. clip and slip
this word to the wise" where they
will surely see it.
Perfume speaks as eloquently as
flowers, and its lovelineSs fingers in
finitely longer. Haunting. subtle, mag
netic, Elusive, exotic, delicate-per-
fume can be all these things at once.
Paradoxical? Perhaps, but isn't per-
fume just that? Perfume has a
vaguely enchanting effect on others,
but If it is a part of the wearer (as
indeed it should be) it does very
definite things to her, makes her pull
up taller, makes her more assured
and poised and glowing.
Perfume is the ideal gift. 1t con-
veys a compliment as surely as those
three little words. Therefore, for
"the her" at the top Of the list, give
perfume.
Again the beauty mart offers an
unlimited choice. If the purse strings
can stand straining there are per-
fumes in precious bottles that cost
a Kings ransom and would surely
thrill any Queen.
For those who have to watch their
pennies there are still perfumes
chats the nice part of living in this
age of miracles, and in charming
bottles, too. Imagine exact minia-
lures of lavish larger bottles, and they
cost the same small part Of young
fortune. Indeed, there Is set Of
three, encased in small gold box and
the odorS can take the most Sophisti-
cate through the day-a floral odor
for daytime; q bouquet odor for tea
time or the cocktail hour and an
exotic perfume for formal occasions.
There's q new rich, spicy perfume
worldly, mysterious, sophisticated
ideal for the regal, oriental type.
With elegance and luxury stressed
so much in fashions, the exotic type
of perfume has once more come into
its own (for formal occasions, OF
course). And what can be grander
than such a perfume with an effect
Of brilliance rather than heaviness,
quite an appropriate companion with
glimmering metal and rich furs.
A perfume gift that can come from
you to you is purse vial with leak
proof stopper that releases perfume
drop by drop.
Perfumes and perfumes, but mere
words can't do them justice-perfumeS
with single floral odor (the gardenia
is particularly populRr), perfumes
that remind one of an English gar
den, perfumes with touch of incense
to make it sophisticated and inter-
esting.
A few hints as to the application
of perfume in my bulletin on the
subject. Send self-addressed, stamped
(3-cent) envelope for it.

do one way. the other another. Hence
these spats.
A SPENDTHRIFT couple can have
a gorgeously successful marriage
throwing money to the birds, but q
penny -pinching couple can have
equally as thrilling a time boarding
every nickel and watching the bank
account grow.
The trouble comes In when one
wants to save and the other wants
to spend. We all know chummy hus-
bands and wives who spend happy.
days together on the golf links and
fascinating evenings holding post
mortems over their games, but woe
betide the couple where the wife calls
for public sympathy because she Is q
golf widow, or where the husband has
to get the children's supper because
wife Is away on the links.
So in making your selection Of .
mate DON'T consider his or her char
acteristics so much as your own. Ex.
anime yourself and see what your
tastes and habits are and then match
them up as nearly as you can in
man or woman. Marry some one who
likes to do the things you like to do,
who believes in the things you believs
in and who was brought up in thu
same school Of cookery you were.
DOROTHY DIX.
DEAR MISS DIX: Does an EN-
ployer expect an employe to ash
for a raise in salary, or does he VOL
unfairly, on the merits Of the en-
ploye's work, give a raise? It seems
to me that If an employees work has
proved satisfactory over a period Of
years that he or she deserves a raise.
! have been working for man fog
q number of years and have every
reason to believe that my work has
been up to the mark. I have been
faithful and efhcient and always on
the job, yet have only had two vsca-
tions and only get 50 a week more
than I made when I first started TO
work. have to support my mother
and my salary Is so inadequate for
our needs that by the middle of the
week can't buy even 15-cent lunch.
I could get work in another city. but
my mother would never consent to
leave home and I'd hate to leave her
alone. If had a dollar or two more
a week, could make the ends meet.
I am 80 years old. PEGGY.
Answer-I would certainly advise you
to ask for the raise you need 50 much
and deserve so well, but do it tactfully.
Don't make your demand pre-emptory,
a sort of hold-up. Give your reasons
why you think you are entitled to
more money and appeal to your en-
ployer's sense of justice and his gen.
erosity. Be careful not to put your
demand in a way that will leave him
no alternative but to either give in
or fire you. Jobs are hard to get
these days. DOROTHY DIX

OF course, for your Christmas
sweets, ordinary jelly glasses are too
prosaic. Look around the shops for
little pottery jars, gayly colored and
decorated-or perhaps you have
saved one or two handsome ones

Answer: They should have the ro-
mantle love of Romeo and Juliet, the
wisdom of Solomon, the patience OF
Job. the unselfishness of saint, the
sacrificial spirit Of the early Christian
martyrs, the humor Of VIII Rogers,
the ability Of Joe Louis to take it on
the chin, the fair play OF a Judge, the
thrift of a Scotchman, the culinary
talent Of q French chef and the
money-making qualities Of a go-getter.
And even If any young couple could
have these headliner characteristics
and were models Of all the domestic
virtues, and then some, 1t would not
insure their making success of their
marriage, because their very good
qualities might antagoniZe each other,
and the attribute for which they
should most admire each other would
be the very thing that would get on
the others nerves.
IMAGINE. for instance, how little
kick q woman who is spender
gets out of being married to saving
man who has a lock on his pocket
book and whom she has to chloroform
before she can get the price OF new
dress out of him! Think how little
pleasant conversation there would be
between a wise-cracking husband and
a wife who possessed no funnybone!
Consider how bored gay husband
would be If he had to spend every eve
ming by his own fireside because his
wife was as domestic as the house cat!
Reflect upon how discouraging it Is
for a woman to spend hours cooking
a superlative dinner for a dyspeptlc
husband who lives on crackers and
milk and whose fsvorite dessert Is
bicarbonate Of Sodal
Yet economy and intelligence and
domesticity and the ability to play are
all most desirable characteristics in a
husband or wife. If you happen to
like them and your fancy runs that
way.
And that's the catch. Virtues are
virtues or they are vices in another,
according to the appeal they make to
us. and it really doesn't make any
difference what sort Of characteristics
our husbands and wives possess, pro-
vided they are along the lines OF our
own. Whenever you hear a husband
and wife quarreling or complaining
about each other, you will invariably
find that it is because Of a conflict
of tastes and desires. One wants to
