About Christmas
There are many legends about
St. Nicholas or as we call him.
Santa Claus. One of the happier
ones is that he is the protector
of all humble and small folk and'
the special guardian of unmarried
girls. It is said, according to the
Jewelry Industry Council, that at
one time he learned of three
young women who had no suit
ors because their father was too
poor to provide them with a dow
ry. So one night he filled three
hags with gold and threw them
into the windows of the rooms
ocupied by the young women and
they soon were happily married
Unexpected gifts thereafter were
said to come from St. Nicholas.
Monbgraming and engraving, so
essential to many gifts which gain
in sentiment when these personal
ized touches are added, take time.
This should be carefully consid- I
ered in working out your gift list, !
and should guide you in making ,
your gift shopping schedule.
If it is linens or stationery or
j similar gifts you have in mind,
frequently handsomely mono
gramtned items, with a single ini
tial, are to be found in the fresh
Christmas stocks. This is indeed
a time saver.
But if you want a combination
on initials in a special design to
distinguish your gift as for the
giver alone, give the people from
whom you buy it a reasonable
amount of time before Christmas
in which to do the monogram.
1 Similury with inscriptions that
are so much desired on jewelry, '
watches and silverware. These j
will take even more time in antic
{ ipation of the holiday season, for'
I many people will want to take ad
! vantage of the service to person
alize their gifts and the work the
engraver will have to do "will be
in a “first come first served” bas
is.
It’s best to keep inscriptions
simple, such as “with love from
J. G.—Christmas 1950 “

FOR FINER CHRISTMAS GIFTS
MOST PKECIOt'S OK Al,l. GIFTS, the Diamond, plays an im
portant role at Christmas time. Three times as many cngage
ment rings are now purchased in December than in the next
highest month of April, giving eloquent testimony ol the growing
popularity ot the Yuletide betrothal. The sparkling diamond,
above, is a brilliant cut stone in a prong setting and is today’s
most popular type of betrothal ring. Diamonds also are much
lavored as luxury Christmas gifts from husband to wife in many
interesting settings, cocktail rings, brooches, bracelets and neck
laces.
