 Can Dress Up"
By MARIAN YOUNG NIsA Service Stan Correspondent

New York.-No matter how many dolls she orders, a new party dress or a ski suit will please the tinieSt girl in the family.
 Much as she loves beautiful linens and gadgets for her home, mother wants to find underwear and stockings or jewelry or a new housecoat.
 Father hopes Santa Claus will bring socks and sweater, 3 smoking jacket, necktieS and a new bathrobe, as well as some thing nice for his deck and a few items that have to do with his favorite hobby.
 Gifts to wear will make every member of the family hoppy on Christmas morning. Even the puppy will show barking delight at the sight of one of the new raincoatS for dogs-light as a feather and de- signed to stay on while he ctases cats.
 To the Ladies
 Merry Christmas!
 With the Women in your home, new nightgoWns that look for all the world like dinner and evening dresses are 8 Christmas delight.
 There is one especially hand some model with a wide, billowing skirt, shirred to give a hoop-skirt effect, a slim, lace-trimmed bodice, -the-shoulder neckline and pull sleeves. Incidentally, the new un- derwear that was hand made in Puerto Rico is sure to make a dou- ble hit-with her-because all wo- men love handmade lingerie and with you because it costs so much less.
 Christmas jewelry is new this year. Give her . chatelaine piece on a bar pin to wear on her la pei. Or a quaint necklace tc wear with her off-the-shoulder or strapless evening gown. Whatevel you do, don't send slender brace lets, tiny clips or thin, delicate necklaces. Dinky pieces of cos tune jewelry are completely overshadowed by massive, boldly de- signed ones. She's sure to like a hat pin, earrings and jeweled comb for her hair.
 Evening Wear
 Appropriate
 Evening sweaters and blouseS oi various types to wear with her floor length dinner skirt will be appre- ciated. A white tweed evening wrap with gold sequin embroidery glisten- ing on the lapel is a wonderful idea. Among others are: simply tailored housecoat of purple lame and. one of dull gold wool with black velvet sash: 8 bedjacket of softest maribou Gin any color);; bedjacket of soft washable flannel with a little girl collar and long, full sleeves, gather ed into 8 band at wrYts: mules ot wine and silver plaid lame; more practical bedroom slippers of dull soft kid with wool Innings.
 The newest glove is 8 three-di- mension affair with U-turned wall that runs from thumb around the fingers and down the side, and al- lows the fingers complete freedom. If you send stockings, be sure to specify whether she Is tall, short or Of rnediiirn height. Huge bags, in all feathers, are smarter than small ones. A huff is a perfect present. Above elbow length evening gloves recently revived, are very nice.

 A Happy Ypletide
 For 8 ten-year-old girl an ankle length party dress Of taffeta is a nice Yuletide idea.
 For older sister, how about sheepskin lined, red leather boots to wear to and from skating?
 There are stunning, lightweight wool nightgowt1s and pajamas for the college girl who sleeps in a frigid dormitory. And attractive white angora mittens to wear with her evening wrap. A calico nightgown with a quilted bedjacket in matching calico is news. 80 are wool gloves with her monogram knitted into the backs. Sweet little navy ski suits with Tyrolean flowers and red hearts on the pockets would be fine for lit- tie sisters and brother who Is neal her age. (P. s.
