oiated with "Jingle Bells." Anoth
er, line might be "Just like the one
I used to know" which comes from
"White Christmas." Still another
one might be "All is bright" from
"Silent Night"; or pick a not-to
well-known kymn to stump the ex
perts. The person who has the
greatest n amber of correct an
awars should get a prize.
M|k Bells Dance .... Give
eafch girl a bracelet of jingle
beHs. String five or si* merry lit
tle silver jingle bells on a piece of
narrow red ribbon just long
enough to go around a girl's wrist.
Before the dance begins have each
girl's partner tie the bracelet on
her wrist. Appoint one person to
serve as "Stop-the-Music Master."
Hit job is to keep turning off the
radio or phonograph at irregular
Intervals without letting the danc
irtf couples know exactly when.
Eacl} time the music stops the
couples are supposed to stop danc
ing instantly. The girl whose brace
let jingles the longest after the
music stops is eliminated along
with her partner. The prize is a
warded to the last couple left?the
conple with the best jingle con
trol.
At every Christmas party there
should be gifts. Naturally a teen
age parse doesn't allow for luxury
items. A good idea is a Christmas
Santa pack (Mom's laundry bag
will serve the purpose) chock full
of little inexpensive items. The
boys can bring presents for girls
and tHfe girls can bring gifts for
the boys. Make it a grab bag for
Yule fun.

AP Newsfeatures Beauty Editor
When shopping for last-minute
glamor gifts for family and friends,
give something appropriate. Don't
take just any old thing because
time is getting short. You can
make wise selections by making a
list of things you want for each
person on your list. You'll find it
is simpler to shop when you know
what you want. Here are some sug- ,
gestions: ?
FOR GRANNY . . . J^ist because 1
she's a grandmother don't think j
she won't adore a beautiful com
pact that she can fill with her fav- J
orite powder. Or how about a trav- j
el case filled with creams and lo
tions to perk up her weary face
after a trip? Bath sets containing ;
scented soaps and toiletries are
other top-of-the-tree favorites. A
good hair brush and comb always 1
is welcome. One packed in a knit
ting box offers double appeal.
FOR MOM . . . You can splurce ;
on her. She'll adore a gift certifi- 1
cate to a beauty salon, a vitalator j
machine for beauty massages, a .
home permanent wave, perfume in j
special bottles, cologne, special j
beauty kits containing favorite
cosmetics or a compact with jewel 1
trim ? perfect for evenings out
with Pa.
FOR BIG SIS . . . Sachet pillows j
for lingerie and sachet hangers for i
special dresses will make a big hit :
with Sis. A box-office beauty kit
is a compact carry all for make-up
at home, office or on the campus,
a wallet containing lipstick and
compact, a nosegay of violets con
cealing four lipsticks, a Christmas
stocking containing everything for
the bath from dusting powder to
fluffy milk bath petal wafers are
useful and practical. Budget priced
are liquids which are painted over
the lips to keep lipstick from
smearing, lipstick with mirror at
tached, a pink tinted heart of soap
with a bottle of perfume nestled
atop it, manicure cutlery set con
taining cuticle scissors, nail file,

HOLLYWOOD. (fa*
HOLLYWOOD ? Danny Kaye's
latest picture, "Th Inspector Gen
eral," isn't as funny on the whole
as, say, "The Secret Life of Wal
ter Mitty." Still, it has some Kaye
capers that are Danny at his most
delightful. One passage, wjiere
Danny gorges himself at a loaded
banquet table after two days'
starvation, is reminiscent of Chap
lin.
An odd sequence has four Dan
ny Keyes singing a quartet. Three
of them are ethereal sub-selves of
the baffled Kaye, telling him how
to conduct himself. For a mixup
has brought about an assumption
that Danny is Napoleon's inspec
tor going about hanging crooked
municipal officials. Actually he's
only the illiterate stooge to a med
icine-show humbug (Walter Sle
zak). But believing him to be the
ruthless agent traveling incognito,
Mayor Gene Lockhart and othef
thieving town office-holders can't
do enough to flatter him.
Police Chief Alan Hale lends
him oversized uniforms. Elsa
Lanchester, ' the mayor's wife,
makes she-wolf passes. Eye-fill
ing Barbara Bates, a kitchen maid,
catches his eye. Walter Catlett
turns up finally as the near-sight
ed. and genuine, inspector.
Danny struggling to unsheath
his sword or singing and dancing
with his hair on fire is an amus
ing guy.
"Dear Wife" is a sequel to
"Dear Ruth" and just about as
merry ? more hectic doings in the
home of Judge Edward Arnold.
Daughter Joan Caulficld is mar
ried, now. to ex-Gl William Hol
den. Holden works unhappily as
a bank teller. His boss is prissy
Billy De Wolfe.
Arnold's younger daughter, Mo
na Freeman, is a firebrand burn
I ing for political reform. The ma -1
{chine stooge she is denouncing
: turns out to be her dad. Un
daunted, she gets her reformers
! to put up Holden as rival candi
| date.
A hilarious sequence has a brash
'radio crew invading the house for
1 a Sunday breakfast broadcast. Ri
val candidates glower at each oth
er across the microphones while
a sound man rattles tea cups and
spoons to make things sound cher
ry.
"The Story of Molly X" is an in
teresting fable about a lady crook
j (June Havoc) and her sojourn at
the California women's prison

more like a country club. Miss
