Wrapping Gifts

how pretty it may be. Select
your ribbon color by picking
up a predominant color in
the paper. If the pattern Of
the paper is such that a bow
smack in the middle Of the
box will detract from the de-
sign. tie the ribbon around
the edges and make a bow or
place it off center or down
one side Of the box.
The bow should be made
separately. Loop a length Of
ribbon back and forth sew
eral times keeping the center
pinched in tightly between
the thumb and fingers of the
left hand as ribbon is formed
into loops with the other.
Use spool wire around the
bows center and twist the
ends of the wire together
tightly.
Package Ideas
Mons present should be
a pretty one. Feathery fir
trees on q holiday green
background makes a truly
feminine package when high
lighted with a white and gold
bow. An added flip is the
addition Of shiny gold stars
on the loops of the fluffy
bow.
Dad will have no difficulty
in telling what's inside his
gift. An alarm clock wrapped
in silver foil paper with a
white mat stock face joy
ously proclaims Noel to Pop.
The letters are cut from a
patterned paper and silver
stars and toothpick are used
to form the hands Of the
clock.
Sister Sues perfume is
uniquely disguised as a gay
choir girl. A styrofoam head
with ribbon hair and trim
wears a bright green mat
stock bonnet and carries a
carol book.
Johnnie's favorite teacher
is not forgotten. Her gift, q
jar of homemade preserves
is wrapped in gaily striped
red and green holiday paper.
Gold foil paper. slaShed in
deep VS. is placed over the
top Of a jar. A frothy ribbon
bow tops the package with a
snappy effect achieved by
curling spool wires and at
taching tiny bells to their
ends.

That gay expectant holiday
feeling fills the atmosphere.
Santa has made his arrival
IN the local department
stores, colorful windows catch
the eye Of holiday shoppers
and presents are already
being hidden from the prying
eyes Of the young fry.
The firm resolution made
by many to shop and wrap
packages early. som e h ow
manages to get lost in the
excitement of the season and
invariably the task of wrap
ping presents itself.
Experts at the Dennison
Manufacturing Co. maintain
that gift wrapping can be
easy and fun to do. They
offer the following four
suggestions to help you get
started with your holiday
package wrapping:
/. In selecting your Christ
mas wrapping papers and
accessories such as seals,
tags. tissue, enclosure cards
and ribbon, choose some of
the convenient cutter box
papers and the king size fold
holiday papers that make
wra piping g a large gift so
simple.
2. Give each package a
character Of its own by select
ing a paper to suit its size
or to complement the person.
atty of the recipient.
3. Select ribbon or ad-
ditional package decorations
to complement your package.
Small boxes require a more
subtle patterned paper than
a larger size package.
4. To make the job a little
m lore organized keep all
wrapping supplies including
scissors and cellophane tape
together. After these prelim-
mary preparations select a
large enough work area, as
semble your materials and
start wrapping.
Background
A box lined with brightly
colored tissue paper presents
an attractive background for
any gift. Just pleat two sheets
OF tissue through the center,
tit one into the box and the
other across it, extending the
ends.
You will find that in most
cases package sizes will fall
into two categories: Those
that are either rectangular
or cylindrical in shape.
To wrap a rectangular box
first estimate the amount of
paper needed allowing half
inch overlap on back side of
the box. The paper should
extend over both ends a little
more than half the depth of
the box. Bring the paper
around and secure it on the
back. Then secure ends.
For a cylinder wrap. trace
the ends Of the cylinder on
the paper and cut out two
circles. Cut a piece two inches
longer than the gift to allow
overlap at the top and bot
tom. Wrap the paper around
the cylinder and secure. Fold
down the overlap at the ends
and paste on edges of the
circle and attach to the ton
and bottom.
When using bow accents
to finish a package. always
remember to consider the
size of the box. Small pack
ages will be overpowered with

Nlgerians.
The women traders are not
based in the home but In the
streets. The children often ac-
company their mothers and the
babies are most time carried in a
cloth saddle on their mothers
backs. The baby is eternaIly rock
ed as the mother moves about all
day long.
The place Of the woman In this
society Is far more important
than that Of her sisters In some
western countries. Often it Is
the woman who calls the shots at
home and I'm family debates. The
male whose wife Is n successful
trader or business-woman can
not of course. push her around.
This does not mean. however,
that the men do not know how to
make themselves felt in the social
order. They seem to gravitate
toward politics like the women to-
ward trade. If I can be permitted
a generalization it might be said
that the males are born politicians
and the women born traders.
They certainly have the basic
endowment for progress in a mod
ern democratic society. Further
they seem to enjoy exercising
their political and commercial ta-
lentS 1t Is not work but fun.

panded in recent years and some
Of the women at the top here have
grown fabulously wealthy.
A few buy big American cars
and invest in expensive homes
but the majority, like good bus
mess men, pIow their profits back
into their businesses.
Women traders with a basket
full Of merchandise, from soup to
nuts, perched on top Of their heads
walk sedately, hawking their
wares in the residential districts.
Those who have a little cap
ltal take over stalls In the vast
market areas Of the cities and
some open up small shops and
become stOrekeepers.
In Lagos the principal item of
these women shopkeepers Is tex
tiles, bolts Of colorful cottons, wool
and velvet Here the predominant
color Of the cloth is blue, some
of which is dyed locally with a
native blue dye.
Tribal differences are reflected
in the color Of the textiles which
are used in making the sweeping
gowns and capes Of the men and
the women.
The favOrite Of the YOruba Is
called "YOruba blue. The hos
who live principally IN the Eas-
tern region Of Nigeria do not
fancy blue but the lighter, more
lively cOlOrs, red and yellow.
One Of the strange spectacles
here is to see large groups Of wo-
men dressed identically alike, the
same bright blue headties. a band
ana-lile hat, the same skirts and
blouses. When they attend a social
affair, such a group win come in
together, all dressed alike as II
in uniform.
From head to foot all the cloth
ing Of all Of them seems to be cut
from one bolt. Usually they are
members Of one family and It may
be said to be a family uniform.
The famous Kinte cloth Of Ghana
is seldom seen in Nigeria but there
IL the same passionate interest In
unusual designs and colors in the
textiles. Whereas a Kinte cloth
outfit in Ghana viii cost a man
around 40 Pounds, 40 dollars, a
similar outfit Of Yoruba blue IN
Nigeria, with a cape and trousers
instead Of q toga, can be pur-
chased much cheaper.
The fact that women dominate

AT LAST, CHRISTMAS DAYI
You who have travelled hundreds
Of miles to be at home with loved
ones really know It is Christmas
because Of the joy in all Of your
hearts. Joy and Thanksgiving that
you are all as wei as you are and
that you wanted to be with your
families today.
Yours is a large family and you
have come from the far north,
midwest and other bordering states
to your home town.
Although your parents passed
away many years ago you viii
think and speak of them many
times today. Had they lived they
would be proud Of you. Not be-
cause you have wealth or power
because you do not, but they would
rejoice to see all Of you together
in peace and harmony with each
other because you were taught by
them what II means to be a fam
lily.
They taught you to love and
respect each other, first as fam
lily. OF course you had your share
of fights and quarrelling among
yourselves but you soon learned to
protect each other from out
siders.
You are remembering the won
derful Christmas mornings. All
through the night before Santa
came you would wake up and
ask, HAS Santa come YETI" Fin
ally, at daybreak you asked again
and how happy you were to hear,
Eyes, he has been here!"
Before anyone could say another
word all Of you went running to
the Christmas tree and started
looking for your name. You had
noticed the beautiful tree lighted
with small candles and trimmed
with pop corn that had been care
fully strung and draped around
the tree. And how you loved to
see the cranberTies that had also
been carefully strung and hung
over the branches Of the tree.
You had no idea Of the long
hours your parents had spent
making those decorations nor
Of the loving hands that. did mot
tire until they had made enough
10 make the tree look as nice
as they possibly could make it
look for you.
How they were repaid for their
work! They enjoyed watching you
take the gifts from the tree and
when you ran and showed them
what Santa had left for you and
how happy you were with your
gifts they were more than happy,
though very tired and sleepy be-
cause they had worked all night
10 you would not be disappointed
when you woke up.
How happy you were to receive
the gifts The girls always found
a doh, a sled, a bag Of candy and
a few toys, with books, a pair Of
shoes and some dresses and othei
clothes all made by your mother
and grandmother. There was alsC
