 This is year for practical Christmas gifts, especially when it come to buying things for hubby. Uncle Joe and brother Bob. If they haven't yet dropped a hint about what they'd like to find under the tree, be on the safe side and buy them only what they really ned or can use.
 Shirts, pajamas, handkerchiefs, socks and gloves are always gooo bet. But keep in mind just what colors and patterns HE pre- fers. If he always wear plain white or blue broadcloth shirts, don't give striped ones because you happen to like them better. White handkerchiefs are most &C., ceptable and you'll find that the new spun rayon ones, that look just like linen, are about as fine, soft and absorbent as linen = and much less expensive.
 Maybe his lounging or bath robe is worn thin at the elbows and frayed at the cuffs. If you don't wait too long, you'll find the shops have quite an extensive line of good quality rayon twill robes in solid colors and prints, some tailored ones in all wool flannel and others equally as good look ing in wool and rayon mixtures.
 All signs point to bitter cold winter, so you might consider giving the man of the house down. filled cotton gabardine vest which Is cut extra long in back to protect him against the icy blasts, cold weather overboots of sturdy elk calf lined with sheepsAn and rubber soled, and long mittens of water-repellent cloth, lined with wool pile, which buckle snugly at the wrist.

Peninsula Churches
Observe Watch Night
custom Over Century Old Is Faith
fully Observed

Many churches throughout lower
Delaware and the Delmarva PENN
sula last night held what is called
a watch night" service in accord
ance with a custom of more than a
century ago.
The custom, brought from Eng
land and handed down from Col
onial days, is not as popular as it
was 40 and so years ago when
nearly every Methodist church in
Sussex county conducted the SER
vices to watch the old year go
out and the new one come in"
These services, however. have
been revived within the past four
years, and promise once more to
become popular not only with the
church folk but the young people
as we'll.
A service of prayer and exhorta-
tions started about 10 o'clock and
continued until midnight.
Years ago girls and boys of the
rural sections would attend these
services and at the close of the
meeting congregate at some home
to celebrate the New Year, making
popcorn balls and taffy. However,
to a great extent. these practices
are just memories with the old
folk
Many of the churches have an
nounced the holding of watch
night" services. At midnight the
church bells were tolled and upon
the usherin gin of the New Year
they were rung for several min

revenue from gasoline levies and
other war-hit sources are contained
in a report of 10-member special

and the possible loss of racing reve-
nues.
