A very im- “Shopping & Popping” —Sue Hooper So you don’t know what to givi someone for Chrisimasy Well, I’m going to try to help you solve you: problem. First, you make out the list of people to whom you wisn to give a gift. Let’s stare with tne family ana go on to the others: Mother, Dad, S-s, Brother, Favorite Aunt and Uncle, Uranamother ane Grandfather, The Neignuor’s Dog, Tne Postman, The One and Only, Tni Sidekick. O. K. Now you have that much, so let’s go back and hil in wnat to give to each. For Mother a flannel lined, taffeta jewelry case with a sequin aesign on one corner; this wouiu make ner eyes light up for you. sne h love you ai. tne more for giving ner tins useiu gilt. NOW, what can we give Dad? If h.. likes to lie around anu lexa lus paper a soft smoking jacaet or roungin^ pajamas will suit iiis lancy. Mayor a pair of soft leather suppers with t fleece lining will suit him oetter. (After you get him all comfortable in hi: easy chair, he really is in a bettei mood for you to ask him for an ad vance of your allowance.) A pair of quUted sUppers in bright colors are ^ust the thing for Sis. If she is a little older, how about a lapel pin that sparkles like the stars? Ii will match her eyes when she goes out with her No. 1 Swooman. Now for the problem of what tc give your kid brother! This one al ways gives you trouble, so let’s try to figure it out. One of those new windbreakers with plaid wool lining are dandy; or maybe if he is a little iellow, a chemistry set or a wexxi- buming set. Any one of those gifts will make him worship you for months to come. Your favorite Aunt and Uncle aren’t hard to find something for. A beau tiful linen luncheon set embroiderec in Intricate design is ideal for youi aunt, and a bright scarf or a white one for your uncle checks them off with ease. I wonder what a dog would like Well, of course; a bone or a few scraps of meat from the butcher’, shop! A dog never gets tired of bones and meat, nor will he ever forget you as a friend. As for the postman, he shouldn’t be hard to suit. The first thing he would like would be a pair of easy slippers to rest his tired feet. After all, look how far he has to walk. A warm, pastel wool bed-jacket will feel good to Grandmother on cold winter nights. hTis gift will be very serviceable and very, very much ap preciated. Something on the same line will be grand for Grandfather. A wool jacket to slip on over his vest when he just wants to knock around the house makes a perfect gift. The One and Only requires much thinking. His gift must be special and if he receives a big plaid wool shirt that is so popular now, he will look at you in a new light. An identifi cation bracelet is the ev(0 faithful gift that will never fall you. No matter what you get him, just send all your love with it and it will be specia. deluxe. For the sidekick just ask him oi her what it is that is wanted anc you will find out. It never is a prob lem to know what ti give, because you know practically everything she or he wants. I hope you won’t have any trouble with your Christmas shopping. So “Merry Christmas,” and the very best wishes to you all. presslve devotional service was con ducted by Becky Smith, who was also in charge of the program.
