Here's What You Probably
 Will Get For Christmas

While you are whizzing around on Christmas shopping tours. won dering what you are going to buy for John and Lala and Sue. most of Santa Claus henchmen in the shops already know.
 santas first line lieutenants i1 New York's largest department store checked up on more than 3,00O,0OO gifts sold last year. and as a result of their findings the clerks behind counters just about know who will get what and how much.
 They know, for instance, that if 1940 shoppers behave according to rule, women will receive 323 of ev- cry 1000 gifts bought in depart ment stores, while men will receive only 127. Ct seems it's not always the woman who pays.) They also know that youngsters will draw BOP presents out of that LOGO and that the balance will be divided be- tween gifts for the house and gad- gets too varied to fit into feat gift classification
 Here are some more interesting gift facts based on the survey:
 Lingerie First
 Women get more lingerie than any other kind of Christmas pres ent. Out of every 1,000 women who will open gaily wrapped packages on December 25, 121 will get slips and panties. 93 will draw night dresses and pajamas and 39 will

 The rest of the Christmas gifts will be a miscellaneous heap of books. games. writing paper, foun- tain pens, dog collars. fruit candy, luggage and umbrellas.
