It Is remarkable how abundant
these squirrels are and yet how
cleverly they manage to keep out Of
sight. They really do not fly, but
glide from the topmost branches of
one tree to the base of another some
distance away. That is why you do
not see their footprints in the snow

THE modern trend for gifts this
year Is to the practical side!
The clever housewife will select
several of the newest glass bak-
ing dishes and fill them with fruit
cakes cooked from her favorite
recipe, Then, wrapped with gay
paper and ribbons, they are ready
to present to her closest friends.
The proportions of this cake are
ample for a cake to be eaten at
home, one for gift purposes, and
one to store away for post-holiday
nibbling. Heavily fruited and
pleasingly spiced.

Xmas Presents
Can Be Useful
BY Deborah Ames

no YOU realize that it is only
- about three weeks until
Christmas? Have you got all the
presents for everyone Did you
remember the hairdresser and
The elevator boy = the doorman
Uand the janitor?
OF course, it isn't necessary to
give all these people presents,
but the small amount of money
that you lay out now will be more
than repaid before the year is
out. You can always give them
money, and in some cases that is
the most welcome thing. Where
there is person with whom you
are not particularly intimate,
such as the janitor of your apart
ment building, or the chamber
maid of your hotel, then money
serves the purpose very well. If
you cannot discover the tastes of
the recipient, then you are always
safe with five-dollar bill.
1t is easy to find out what sort
of things your hairdresser likes.
With a man and his barber, it is
much simpler-he just sends him
the kind of cigar or tobacco that
he smokes. With a woman, it is
more difficult, but with a careful
bit of questioning you can usually
discover the fact that she prefers
lavendar bath salts, or pearl-gray
gloves or orange marmalade.
Send the elevator boy a carton
of cigarettes or subscription to
his favorite magazine. That will
be a constant and monthly re-
ninder of your generosity, and
you will be more than repaid.
once sent our doorman a pair
Of fur-lined gloves, and the serv-
ice I got was really overwhelm-
ing! If you can't find the size he
wears, send him a merchandise
order-all the good stores carry
them for any amount you wish
to make.
Do you have, as most of us do,
a list of friends and acquaintance
that deserve more than a printed
card, and yet do not merit a gift?
Try writing each of them a note
on your own stationery this
season, and you will be surprised
at the return of greetings and
good wishes.

Remember. you mustn't strain
yourself. You must make exercis-

And remember, this exercise
must be done SLOWLY. Don't
jerk and hurry and strain, if you
want to build up your hips and
thighs. Do it QUICKLY if you
want to reduce the waistline. The

Toy animals are as highly ia

they ever were when the gingham

supreme. The Christmas collec-

as circus. Shown here is typi-

elephant, camel, and lion to lie
down with the woody lamb which
brings up the procession. They're
all woody and cuddly, gift animals
that are destined to share the bed
of many an adoring young man or
maid. They make up menagerie

ing as any girl doll could possibly
be and quite rightly rejoices in the
pretty old-fashioned name of Hen

cross barred frock, complete with
feather hat, pocket book, and a
glimpse of petticoat is in sharp
contrast, but the Teddy Bear
seems as Indifferent to one as the
other.

Football?
There's a lot Of it in the air
now, even with the amateurs.
Take the Police Boys Clubs. If
they fail to lead the way locally
this fall it won't be because they
haven't tried.
Thirteen teams have been or
ganized by Morris Fox. -Four are
at Precinct No. 4; seven at No. 5,
and two at No. II.
Three able coaches have been
"signed" to instruct these teams.
Phil Fox will direct the No. 5
teams, Gene Davis the No. 4
youths, and Herman Boteler, the
No. II teams.
Now, the interesting part of the
entire Set-up is the army Of young
sters it embodies. Twenty-Five
boys are on each of the teams
and they are fully equipped.
Four classes are at No. 5, in
cluding IS, 100, lis and 125 Six
are at No. 4, comprising two
teams in the IS class, and one
each in the 100, 115, 1875, 1876
and $50. A team in the 115-
pound division and one in the
135 compose No. lis set-up.
Activity for all these teams
will be in the formations of
leagues. The 85-pounders will
compete in the Major Brown
League. The 100-pounders will
vie in the Junior Colonial
League, the lis and 125-pounderS
in the National City League, and
the 1876 and 150-pounders in the

ris Fox.
The latter league is open to
