"GAY GADGETS"
By NANCY PEPPER
CHRISTMAS WRAPTURE

Maybe you can't tell good book
by it's cover, but you can tell how
much Christmas spirit has gone into
a gift by the way it's wrapped.
If it's just done up in plain white
paper and cord like something from
the grocery store, it doesn't give
you a large charge-Or even a small
one. But, if it's gay and giddy out
side, you just know it's going to be
a holidaisy! Here's how to make
your Christmas packages festive as
a fruit cake, and twice as nutty!

Higher Textile Prices May Boost Production of
 Needed liens

WASHINGTON. Aug. 0. - A spokesman for retail clothing mer- chants said wistfully today that higher textile prices may put $2.25 shirts and Recent shorts back on store shelves
 That's our hope" said Louis Rcthschild. executive director of the National Association of Retail Clothiers.
 He told a reporter that the av- craze 16 percent increase in cotton textile ceilings put into effect by OPA yesterday undoubtedly will encourage greater production" of cotton apparel.
 Manufacturers will have an in- centiye to produce shirts to retail at s225 and shorts at 79 cents, D Rothschild said. We haven't had any of those in long time"
 Up to new, Rothschild added, manufacturers have not been able to make a profit on these lover priced items.
 He said they should begin to re- appear in stores in about 30 days.
 OPA said the Is percent textile increase will boost cotton clothing prices six to eight percent and jump the cost of household linens about IT percent.
 ROthschild, however. expressed belief the OPA clothing price esti- mate. is "cn the conservative side !"

MH.R.-All Of my friends are
married but me. Now ! want a
home of my own. My friend Is nice
and says he wants me for his wife
but desire TO know what to do.
Ans: You cant marry now as
both Of you know, but you can plan
your future home and begin saw
ing for this purpose. II you love
him enough to want TO marry him
surely you can wait a while
longer.
C.MD.-I married at 10, been

husband like a wife should. Half
the time | don't want TO be around
him. We parted several times, but
he acts so pitiful and cries so
always take him back. I pretend
to be happy with him but | am very
unhappy. What is our trouble?
Ans: Your love has sOured, that's
for sure, but not dangerously 50.
II can be revived although drastic
steps will be necessary. Trouble is
that neither Of you cooperate or
make any attempt to plan ahead.
Write me privately and I'll help
you. My first recommendation is
that your husband wash his hands"
Of number playing. II is fOOlhardy
for him TO attain success in this
manner.

Ans: think II would he an ex-
trcmcly risky venture on your part.
Entirely too risky. Moving south
will certainly open up no new OPP
pOrtunities for your Riddles. As for
going into business for yourself
