dicat1on even now that their 1854
crystal balls are clear. That is
the rare spectacle Of the early
Christmas shopper threading
through the merchandise.
Prices are running about the
same as last Christmas levels.
But, one toy expert said. the
quality and design is generally
improved. II believe parents
feel they are better off with 10
cents improvement in quality
than 10 cents lower price," he
said.
Not Quite Miracle Plastic.
There's more durability in the
plastic toy line. too. Something
called high impact" plastic
makes 1t considerably harder for
the little ones to smash their
gifts-"not that they still can't"
one store official hastily added.
More of that old prewar line
made in Japan" is in evidence
this year. While of cheaper
quality, in most cases. than
American and European prod
ucts, much of it Is improved over
prewar manufacture. Fewer
rough edges, for one thing.
Space helmets, one toy man
reported, are easing off" in pop
ularity. This is largely due to
a recoup by cowboy and Indian
headgear and return to the
Middle Ages for inspiration: Sets
Of knights helmets, breastp1ate,
sword and shield in various COM
binations.
Hobbies and crafts continue
their strong growth of recent
years. Aside. from the standard
and improved and diversified
model kits Of planes, ships and
cars, there are kits for incipient
scientists to make radio sets
that really operate; weather
stations to predict the unpre-
dictable; nursing gear for adj
ministering treatment to people
instead of dollies and cookery
sets for little girls to mess up
their own pots and pans with
their own miniature packaged
ingredients instead Of mothers.
Dolls Have Sniffles.
The doIl-makers are still try
ing. Comes this year a doll
with a ruuny nose, another with
rooted hair and still another
that bends her knees.
One store offers a complete
circus ensemble including trac-
tor trailer in which to stow the
equipment, and a calliope that
makes music.
Dollhouses are coming out
with separate electric circuits
for each room. There seems to
be a trend back to wooden
furniture.even solid walnut
In dollhouse equipment. Plas-
tics have been grabbing the
field in recent years.

but the game has become a

For Noisy Boys.
In the armS-and-the-boy de-
partment. we have a 1.000-shot
water pistol and a five-roll cap
rifle.
One store official liked a plas-
tic Office intercommunication set
so much that he said, in all seri-
BUSINESS. that he intends to get
one for his own ofiice. "It really
works. and it's cheap" he ex-
planned.
The latest in tricycles is q
completely streamlined jet super
sonic chain-driven job with tail
lights and gears.
The official toy buyer Of one
Of the big department stores
grew almost ecstatic in demon
strating the virtues of some toy
musical instruments. In all the
clamor Of the toy department
rush he played q concert. It
included Pop Goes the Weasel"
(tuba solo) and you're In the
Army Now" (muted trumpet.
A small gathering politely ap-
plauded.
He frowned and moved rapidly
on to the bicycle section.
The chief harbinger Of a boom
year for Santa Claus is Philip M.
Talbot, first vice president Of
the Merchants and Manufac-
turers' Association here.
Mr.. Talbot recalled the 1852
bonanza season when the all
time sales volume record was
smashed. A slight slack-off
occurred in 1853, and it is this
slack, he said. that merchants
for the most part expect to see
taken up.
Some Have Doubts.
Doubts assail some store off,
cials, on the other hand. One
expressed concern over the 4 per
cent sales volume drop during
the first 10 months of this year
as compared with the same pc
riod last year in downtown
Washington shops.
Don't mistake me, I'm not
feeling gloomy" he said. But
I just don't see any record
breaking year, especially in toys"
Whether or not they are early
buyers, they are not out in suf-
f1cient numbers to alter substan-
TALLY the traditional picture of
the last-hour Christmas crush.
According to approximations
gathered by Mr.. Talbot, well
over go per cent Of the yearly
toy sales are made in the Christ
mas shopping months of Novem-
ber and December. OF this figure,
As per cent is reflected in Decem-
ber sales alone.
In the last two months Of the
year, toy sales, moreover, repre-
sent a total of nearly 7 per cent
Of the sales volume of the other
departments of the big depart
ment stores, Mr.. Talbot esti-
mated.
The end of the Thanksgiving
holiday Is the customary signal
gun for the concentrated charge
on the shopping counters.

for the draperies. If you decide
on a pair of chairs, green would
be good color. or if you want
them to be different choose one
in green and the other in beige.
A pattern featuring all the COL
ors in the room on a beige back
ground would be a good selection
for the rug.
Question. I have recently re-
decorated my kitchen but need
some help on the finishing
touches. The cabinets are birch
with gray counter tops, the walls
are light green. the foor-cover-
ing has pattern in white on q
green background and the
dinette set is chrome and red
What colors would be right for
the woodwork and curtains?
Answer. Paint the woodwork
in your kitchen the same shade
of green as the walls. A pattern
in red, green, and white on q
black background would be nice
for the curtains.
Question. When you group
pictures over a sofa is it neceS-
Sary to keep the sofa against
that wall at all times? I like to
move the furniture around quite
frequently and if it were neces-
sary also to move the pictures,
there would be quite a few nail
holes in the walls.
Answer. You can move the
sofa as often as you like but it
would be advisable to leave the
group of pictures as they are
and place another piece of fur
niture approximately of the
same proportions as the sofa
under it.
Question, We have built a new

Comfor and Simplicity in Decorating Mans Den
BY Betty Lenohon

II it's only a small alcove or
an isolated nook under the ewes.
there should be a spot In every
home that the man of the house
can call his very own.
In furnishing and decorating
q room or secluded corner for q
man, comfort should be the first
consideration. Plan the back
ground to be masculine and rest
full, choose furniture whose i'm
portant qualities are comfort
and convenience. such as deep
sofas and chairs for relaxing,
desks that are adequate for Office
homework, cabinets spacious
enough to hold files. correspond
ence and magazines, shelves for
favorite books, lamps for read
ing and really man-sized ash
trays.
A mans study or den can be
as personal as a well-worn
smoking jacket and, at the same
time, as attractive and inviting
as any other spot in the house.
In an attractively cozy small
study furnishings Of different
periods but similar simplicity of
design can be used effectively
together. A large, comfortable
sofa, Intersection coffee table
and handicapped wrought-iron
desk and chair might be modern
pieces. Two big chests, which
provide ample storage space,
can be of Spanish inspiration.
The fabrics used in the room
may be modern in color and
weave. from cerulean blue cot
ton carpet and textured bronze
sofa upholstery, to tweedy dark
bronze easement fabric for cur
tains.
The lamps and other decora-
tive accessories should be chosen
for their simplicity, utility and
masculine appeal.
Questions and Answers.
@. We are living in a small
apartment and must use our liv-
ing room as q dining room also.
We would like to redecorate the
room completely. We plan to
use sofa which is upholstered
in light brown tweed and the
blond end tables and television
set we now have. I would like to
have a patterned rug but can

home and would like some color
suggestions for the bathroom?
We are using a medium gray
rubber tile on the floor with a
gold feature strip and black
Dashboard. What colors should
we select for the wall tile, upper
walls and ceiling, shower cur
tain, window curtains and bath
mat? I would like to use royal
blue somewhere in the scheme.
Answer. You could use royal
blue wall tile in the bathroom of
your home. For the upper walls
and ceiling, suggest yellow; for
the shower curtain. blue, yellow
and gray plaid, and for the
window curtains and bathmat,
burnt orange.
Question. We are planning a
rumpus room in the basement Of
our home. The walls are a natu-
raj plywood, the ceiling is white
and the floor covering is red and
black asphalt tile. We are going
to paint the upper part of one
wall which is plaStered. What
color should we use? Also, what
would you suggest for the furni-
ture, a sofa-bed, a chair and
draperieS?
Answer. A soft shade of green
would be a good color to paint
the plaStered section of the wall
in the rumpus room you are
planning. Black wrought iron
would be an excellent selection
for the furniture, a dark green
teXtured fabric for the sofa-bed,
red for the chair and a chintz
with Gay Nineties" pattern in
black, red and green on yellow
background for the draperies.

not decide on the background
color. What would you suggest? =?
Also, what colors would you sug-
gest for the walls, draperies
dining room pieces and two
chairs? Should the chairs match
or could they be different?
A. Build the scheme of your
combination living room dining
room around the pieces you have.
Get the dining pieces in a blond
wood finish with the chair seats
upholstered in a brown and beige
stripe, paint the walls coral and
use a sheer fabric in chartreuse

Cisco Andrade Beats
Rugged Henry Davis
BY the Associated Press

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Oct. g.
Cisco Andrade. sixth ranking
lightweight contender, won a
close but unanimous 10-round
decision tonight over Henry
Davis of Honolulu. Andrade
weighed l35 and Davis, 1854.
Andrade. undefeated in ~ pro-
fessional fights, had his hands
full with the rugged and busy
Davis. He came on with a COM
bination attack in the late
rounds to win it.
Referee AL Berl scored it 6,
3, and l even for Andrade. Judge
Jack Kimball made it 5, 8 and 2.
Judge joey Manuel scored it S,
4 and /. The Associated Press
card showed Andrade the win
ner. 6. 2 and 2.
There were no knockdowns.
The only noticeable damage was
a small cut beside Davis left eye
that the youngster from Comp
ton, Calf, opened up in the
fourth round.
Andrade had little to fear
from Davis right, although the
veteran from Hawaii frequently
forced the>f1ght with strong left
jabs and hooks. s@
Cisco, staying in close most Of
the way, slowed Davis with COM
bination punches in the ninth
round-fastest Of the fight. But
Davis recovered to finish the
round, trading blows toe to toe.
