Christmas List-1943

You're all shopping early this
year by official request. In fact,
most Of you have been running
around for days with penciled
notes. However, for those Of you
who are just now struggling with
a notwithstanding, we have
made Christmas lineup which
may help you solve your Christ
mas problems. Alright-let's go!
For the top gal on your list:
She may be your mother, your
wife, your daughter or your A.
ancee. Whoever she is, she rates
the most important gift. For her
we suggest the fur coat of her
dreams in the best quality you
can buy or a luxurious fur piece.
If she has simple untrimmed
coat she'd love a dramatic duo of
fur hat and muff. An out-of-this
world negligee or housecoat would
make a welcome gift, too, as
would a pretty dress that she
could enjoy for holiday parties.
$50 far-none of these for the
fianceeD Jewelry always speaks
the language of love, so make
your gift an important real
value" piece of jewelry, or give
her costume jewelry such as ear
rings and lapel pin to match. Any
girl would love a magnificent
compact-and it would remind
her of you every time she pow-
dered her nose. BY all means,
send her a war-sage (corsage of
War Stamps) on Christmas.
For the young gadabout: This
section is devoted to your young
daughter, your baby" cousin
tshe's probably 20, but she's still
your b. CO., to the young thing
who sits by the telephone every
night-just in case, the girl
who wonders whether HE will
get that Christmas leave. Shed
love bright feather fancies for
her hair-and add long match
ing gloves if you want to give her
supergift. A darling black satin
evening bag spattered with Jet
would make her squeal with Joy
especially if you added bit of
Jet jeWelry to match. Make it
a really memorable Christmas by
giving her a memory-makin
bene-of- the-ball dancing dress
Or a knockout blouse with a
bright beauty of an evening skirt.
If she's sophisticated-and over
20-she'd probably get kick out
Of sheer black undies. Christ
mas stockings of rayon mesh
which achieve a than
they-actually-are appearance are
something any gal would love to
find under her Christmas tree.
Holly-bright sweaters or a
sleeveless dicky sweater-are an
other merry Christmas idea.
Bright, bright wool gloveSper-
haps with fur-are as nice a
Christmas handout as any!
For the top man-whether he
Is your husband, father, sweet
heart or your brother-men are
mostly the same. That is, for
gifting purposes, they fall into
categories of smokers, nonsmok-
ers, card players, non-card play
ers. You know your man, his
favorite tobacco, etc.-and go
ahead on that line-it's always
safe. An unusual present for the
smoker would be lighter in the
shape of a dueling pistol. One
for the card player is a small,
compact leather poker case, hold
Ing one deck of cards and tiny
chips in three different colors.
AlWays-Welcome gifts are hand
some leather utility cases, smok-
ing jacket or dressing gown, in
itialed handkerchifs or knock
out sterling silver Identification
bracelet. If he says don't spend
money on me-" buy him a War
bond and spend money on your
country, instead.
For brides: If she was a fur
Tough bride, she may not have
had time to collect trousseau,
and probably would love CLAM
orous underwear. A lovely satin
hedjacket, for example, with
matching spread, matching lin
gerie cases would be a gift she'd
long remember and love you for.
Shed also like a pretty break
fast coat for their new break
fasts-for-two, or a dressed-up
hearthside costume (slacks and
q blouse or housecoat for their
