The recent rumor concerning
change of managership of Cedar

 Just snoop into his wardrobe That will tell the story of his tastes, his size, his shortages. You might even get a more definite cue to his tastes by looking for labels to identify the store in which he buys for himself. It's more than likely that there you will find a manager, or clerk that knows all about him and can help you choose just the kind of merchandise he selects for himself. There is no better guide to his welcome and approval of what you choose.
 Really, there is no problem to the selection of mems gifts. The list is long and varied. All that is needed is just a little good judg- ment, good taste and an under standing of the man you seek to please.

 Consider the Play Boy
 It has been said that the man is only a boy grown up" The most fascinating of his boybood activi- ties usually stick to him in some form or other when he grows to manhood. For every man has his hobby. It may be golf, horse back riding, bowling, billiards fishing, hunting, skating. motoring or any other, of the various things that. men adopt as pet divertise- ments. He may be stamp or coin or bug collector, camera fan, amateur musician, a, ldevotee of card games, Does all this support the idea that the scope of mems gifts is limited?
 Being practical in the choosing of men's gifts is solely matter of studying his preferences and his preferences all come within the gamut of mems activities. Surely these are wide enough more so than a woman's. For proof, stop and figure for a moment the dif- ferent types of stores that cater entirely, or by certain departments to mems wants, There are cloth ing and haberdashery shops, smoke shops, sporting goods stores, lug gage shops, billiard and bowling rooms, hardware and jewelry stores and others. s G fate m Classify Your Man
 Let's make a more detailed an- alysis of mems pursuits and past times and the things that go with them. For instance for the travel ing man there is. luggage to con- slider; the. various typesssof grips. shaving sets, toilet cases, fitted bags, brief cases, wallets. etc.
 Or he may be a sportsman. A devotee of, golf is apt to be in need of some club, a new sweater, cap, knickers, hose and there never was a time when a golfer wouldn't well come an extra dozen golf balls, or a golf bag stamper, even in the dead of winter. If he loves to skate, play billiards or bowl, if he is keen for fishing, hunting or any of the man sports each offers its suggestions for a gratifying gift.

MIRACLE0N
 CHRISTMAS

Long. long ago it was the day before Christmas; but the world was not celebrating Christmas then as we do now. In @ little carpen- ter shop with crude tools and benches, an apprentice was quietly blaming a sandalwood bleck to per- feet smoothness. His tunic was drawn about his waist with a cord, his hair fell about his shoulders in dark slken curls, his boyish clean cut features wore the expression of peace and love.
 Suddenly a chisel slipped, a man cried out in pain. A carpenter had received a splinter full in the eye. piercing the eyeball Others gather ed about him to bind up the wound and sadly shook their heads. He will be blind,' they said
 The apprentice worked on calm ly, almost smiling. A great physi- clan came and removed the ban dage. The eye is sound" he said, you must have teen mistaken It looks as if it had never been in- jured at all"
 T am sure it never was" said the man. But the other carpenters shook their heads and the appren- tice went on smoothing the sandel- wood.
 Twas Christmas Eve.

a metorist there is long list of accessories to conjure with. Motor gloves or a robe; and electric cigar lighter, an auto radio.
 The man who is a hunter or a fisherman certainly provides a list of varied suggestions.
 Or he may be home body. If so. gifts that contribute to his comfort are best chosen. A loung- ing robe or lounging pajamas, slip pers, smokes, a humidor, a lighter. books. a radio, or a reading lamp are among the, recommended items.
 If he is a society man there are gifts for formal wear; waistcoat dress muffler or gloves or any of the many jewelry novelties that are specially pointed to the man who adhers to formal proprieties. And there is the man who is a natural host and likes to enter tain in his own home Tab these: A cellarette, a humidor, bridge sets. poker sets, cocktail shaker. roulette outfit or a beautiful dress ing robe or housecoat.
 For Business or Study
 The professional man would be interested in a brief case, wrist watch, pen and pencil set; some thing for his car, his desk or his study. The physician has his own list. @e .N
 The strictly business man could use desk pieces writing sets, smok- CT sets, family pictures in frames for his office, memo book, perpet- ual calendar, wallet, desk lamp, letter opener, book case or office chair.
 The university man suggests something for, his room, pipes or pipe rack, book ends, writing equipment, lamp, brief case, port able typewriter, field glasses or lap, robe for football games, refer ence books or any item or instru- ment pertaining to the study in which he majors.
 Man in the Aggregate
 While the most of the above sug- positions have reference to his sport, occupational or special pursuits they are practical because they apply to his dominating interests. All of which adhers to the formula that we must mix with the mans practical side a bit of vanity and bit of propensity to play. But, V say you, most men are very thorough in providing things for their favorite sports and pursuits. There is nothing lacking"
 We answer. there is always something that needs replacement, either because of depreciation or
