Gift Ideas
For Younq
Mothers
BY ELEANOR ROSS

CHOOSING A gift for
Dung mother is always a e.
lghtful task. And now the shor-
re filled with new and inter
csting merchandise.
Bed Jackets
There are bed jackets in lac,
;nits trimmed with big satin
lows. Lace and crepe de chine
crepe or georgette are all useC
.or little luxury numbers.
For an important gift ensem-
lie get a bed jacket with a robe
Lingerie is another gift that is
always appreciated and a gown
and robe set is sure to meet
with approval.
Another useful gift is a small
manicure kit for use while in the
hospital when the patient has
time on her hands. A small
travelling or bedside clock with
space for pictures of daddy and
baby is a welcome and unusual
gift.
Always Welcome
OF course a present OF CO.
logne, toilet water or perfume
is always a JOY. Select an odor
that Is fresh and fragrant, not
neavy or cloying. The same
goes for flowers, The florist
always has in stock. storks,
cradles, baby bootees and other
appropriate items and these
should be filled with flowers
that aren't too heavily per-
fumed.

Evening Bangs

THE LONGEST bangs in Hol-
lywood are being worn by Ida
Lupino as an after s p. m. coli
fure. Ida parts her hair right
across her crown, brings the
hair forward in softly waved
and curled bangs and swirls the
back into a embarrassing knot.
A fiat bow or jewel where the
two sections part company
makes an effective formal ac-
cent, especially when Ida
matches the jewel to another at
the neckline # her dress.

writes somewhat huffily that

letters from the shining ex-

Lucky for me, I am in the
habit of saving the good letters.
Any one who has her doubts as
TO their authenticity can drop
around any time and see the

some of them do sound almost
too good TO be true. Here's one
that may;
This is to inform you that

Last June my weight was PA

pounds, which seems to be about
right for a person of my build. l
am 5 feet Sig inches tall and
have rather large frame.
Lose Weight
L used to wear a size "A and

is so thrilled because l have
lost weight and so happy be-
cause l look better that he
wants to buy me all kinds of
clothes and even insisted on my

l have lacked the courage to
wear it before any one, but
maybe I'll get over that in
time
She said several nice things,
most of which I am leaving out,
but just TO keep the note of au-

up the good work of helping
women to overcome their physi-
cal faults. l, for one, will be
grateful to you for the rest of

the first week or two, just when
dieting is hardest.

can average a weight loss of 10

In the garden. just as in the
