Ice Buckets Meet
Need In the Home
There are 1he handsome new
ice buckets to think of as a gift
to help make entertaining easier
for your hostess. They elimmah
the need of dashing back and
forth from the refrigerator in the
kitchen for always needed extra
cubes of ice. And they are very
decorative
And of course there is also the
silent butler, a blessing at every
party which keeps both hostesses
and maid free for their respective
duties, and at the same time in
sures clean ash trays.
To eliminate post party drudg
ery, plastic manufacturers have
come up with inexpensive and
yyilv colored sets of forks and
spoons that cun be tossed away
after using. Similarly brightly
patterened napkins that feel like
real cloth but aren’t, are work and
time savers and add gay notes t<
any patty.
These are but a few of the many
things from which you can choose
to show vour appreciation of the
hospitality you have enjoyed at
the home of a friend.
And remember that mother, the
inveterate hostess to every mem
ber of the family is as much a
candidate for the gilt that speaks
appreciation of hospitality as is
any other w oman.
they will return to Falcon in
thoi■ own transportation. The vi
hide is used by tlu orphanage
to t- port its choir to nearby
recitals, a fund raising function,
but for some time the bus has
been inoperative and in need
of general repair.

Gifts Of Jewelry Always Bring Glee
And Excitement At Christmastime
One of the most exciting ways
to show your love and thought
fulness at Christmastime is with a
gift of fine jewelry.
For jewelry is truly one of the
most precious gifts of all and can
be a fitting and flattering gift for
any member of the family, offer
ing great sentimental worth as
well as untold importance as a
thrilling Accessory to be valued

Remember, too, that jewelry is
a most effective expression of
whichever sentiment you want
your gift to convey, be it func
tionalism combined with beauty,
romance, personalized thought
fulness or classic beauty.
Consider Giving Watch
So, if the all-important gift you
have in mind is one that will com
bine functionalism with beauty,
consider giving a watch.
To a man, it will mean the
pleasure of owning and wearing
a handsome accesory as well as a
prized precision time-keeper.
To a woman, it is a gift to be
treasured long for its rich beauty
as well as for its more practical
aspect of time-keeping.
And to the younger members of
the family, the watch is a gift
which will at once make them
ft el that this is a "grown up"
presentation to be valued for
many a year to come.
Wonderfully, watches are to be
had in styles to please all. There
are simply styled watches for the
sports-minded, diamond-and-ruby
studded watches that provide lux
urious appeal and novelty types
set right into handbags. Fob
watches that can be pinned onto
suit and dresses and tiny watches
sot into lings and bracelets are'
also available.
Romance in Jewelry
Romance is expressed by jewel
ry in many an exciting way. For
instance, for a beloved wife, no
thing can compare in romantic ap
peal to the gift of a new wedding
band, sparkling gaily with a row
or rows of diamond chips Ano
what woman won't revel in the
lasting beauty and love expressed .
by a diamond brooch, bracelet a'
necklace.
If your engagement announce
ment is still a matter for the fu
ture, set the date for Christmas
Eve. For when you give this}
thrill of being able to twinkle her
new lifetime possession pridefully j
before all at holiday parties
A truly thoughtful and person-, j
alized choice is the selection of a1
How To Purchase
Milady's Perfume
•
How can the Christmas shop
ping male be sure that his choice
of ultra-feminine perfume will be
; something really special just for
her? Well, here's an casy-to-fol
1 low guide- to help overcome that
"lost" feeling in the perfume de
partment and help make the gift
fragrance in her stocking rate first
thanks.
First, by every means try to dis
cover her favorite pedfume Hus
j bands can check the dressing
'table; beaux can ask her friends.
Then, while shopping, describe
the woman-to-receive-it, riot in
'coloring luit in personality or in
favored piece of jewelry encrusted
with his or her birthstone. His
birthstone might be set as a ring,
a tie or stick pin or cuff links.
Hers will delight her in numerous
settings—from bracelets and car
rings to rings and brooches.
Pearls at a Price
Ever the classic favorite with
women from ages 10 to 100 are
cultured pearls. And choosing a
gift of these lustrous gems need
not mean a great expenditure.
For, although thousands of dol- j
lars can be spent for line cultured |
pearls, they are also available at i
prices bclowv twenty-five dollars. |
Above all. remember that this!
precious gift deserves all the care
and patience in selection you cah
give it So plan to choose his or
her important gift of jewelry ear
ly. j
mood. And don't be confused by j
pretty bottles. It's the stuff inside
that counts!
Have the salesgirl put a bit of
the perfume on a piece of cotton
or blotter paper, wait until it dries
so y-.iu can get the true bouquet
then smell it yourself and see if
YOU like it.
Most people become confused
; ft< ;■ Eying four scents, so take it
easy! One at a time with a bit if
conversation in between each
“sniff" will keep the perfumes in-;
dividualired.
Above all. stop worrying! Every
woman has so many moods, likes;
variety in her life to such an ex-!
tent that she'll probably like what
ever perfume you give her, for
most \ omen wear different scents
to accent different moods and dif-,
ei ent costumes.
