educational junior college In the arts

first step In an expansion program

degree and the later establishment of
other professional schools.

those able to pursue their college
studies in the daytime. But for those
employed during the day by the Gov

been limited.
THE establishment by the univer-

Beauty Aids
For Young
People
Cosmetic Counters
Offer Ideal Gifts
For Christmas
By PATRICIA LINDSAY.

The youngsters of the family take
just as much delight in having their
own beauty aids as the oldsters.
Toys are such general gifts for
children. They usually get more
than they appreciate from doting
friends and relatives. So mother
can be bit practical in her gifts
(without depriving her children Of
the smallest bit of holiday thriu)
by buying amusing grooming aids
which come adorably wrapped in
Christmas trappings.
Soaps carved and sculptured to
resemble Santa himself, all the
fairy tale figures and animals of
the ZOO. Soaps with neck and
wrist cords for shower and bath
which delight youngsters no end.
Soap story book characters with
accompanying tales; wee tot sets
of talcum, cream and cotton in
pretty containers and boasting
purity: amusingly decorated dresser
sets for the young lady's very own
use-comb, mirror and brush.
Junior would be very proud to
own brushes like dads, or leather
cased manicuring set which is
definitely masculine. 1t might serve
as an Inspiration to keep his nails
clean! He might also appreciate a
pocket comb in case, a special
toothbrush whose bristles wouldn' t
soften, accompanied by cleansing
powder or paste. There are elegant
masculine towels and wash cloths
to initiate his growing ego, and If he
is nearing the shaving stage why
not medicated shaving prepara-
tions? A brush? A safety razor?
AS we get to the teen age there
is a galaxy of gifts for both sexes.
Fitted travelling cases, lined with
oilskin for the male, and very smart
locker accommodations. Whether
he will confess to it or not, he adores
pine scented baths and an out
doorsy cologne for after shaving.
Good brushes, usually monogram
med. the happier he will be.
Sister, as you know, likes every
thing that comes in pretty pack
ages. Her passion is perfume. Lots
of it. But almost any good cosmetic
thrills her and no matter how many
lipsticks, compacts and evening bags
