lamps for Christmas and also a
flve-year locked diary. Is it
proper for girl to buy her boy

We both like each other very
much. BEE.
It's always in good taste to
give good books, if the young
man is fond of reading, or a
subscription to a good mans
magazine. Handkerchiefs make
a nice present, too, and, if
you're clever with your needle,
you might embroider his initials
or monogram on them. Neck
ties make a charming gift, but
they should be handsome, and
you must bear in mind to get
something which would look
well on him. Leather goods are
neutrality-suspicious. frames,
collar boxes for travelling, or
military hairbrushes in a case,
or biIlfold.

time to think of spring styles,
and hair styles are what we are
interested in just now.
The smart shops throughout
the country are giving us some
definitely new ideas for the
spring and early summer. and
now we are going to show you
some of the newest creations of
the Fifth Avenue artists,
Chose Someone
Who's Clever
Smart cutting will be neces-
sary for the really successful
hairdreSs, and that means you
must begin with someone who
is clever enough to trim the hair
to conform with any of the new
designs.
We have been wearing the up
Observation-Disclosures line for
the past year, and this con-
tinues to be the dominant note
for the coming season. It af.
lords a clean-cut Smartness not
possible with the long bob.
While the up-trend will be the
vogue, there will be an interest
ing variety of styles, and there
Is where you may have the per-
Sonality effects to flatter your
own special type.
Good Chance
For Earrings
Ears will be in evidence more
than ever, and it is a grand
chance to display some Of the
new earrings we see about. One
OF the best things about the re-
cent fashions is they will per-
NIT us to wear hats as they were
made to be worn. This, as you
know, will be because of the
shaping anG arrangement of the
curls. According to Edmond,
former hair stylist of Queen
Marie, the best length will be
two and half inches long.
This is good length for puffs
and soft curls of all designs,
but there are other artists who
favor length of from three tc,
four inches. 1t will depend on
ones features and the shape of
the head.
We will show you some other
new designs next week and tell
you what to do about your new
hair shade.
We assume you are going to

and special treatments noW, as
every perfect couture must de-
pend on the beauty of the hair
