There are so many [really beautiful things in this [Store that it would be a fine [place to go for ideas for the [persons on your list who are [hard to please. If you sew and there are [those for whom you would [like to make something bv all [means visit the Black Moun rcioth shop. There are seven [different colors of felt w'hich vould make attractive skirts [for little girls; also a good selection of colorful Christmas [table cloths that are going [fast. What would be nicer [than a pretty pair of cordu roy slacks or a corduroy [jacket? Here, too, there are [ynany colors from which to choose. As you are well aware, l Icannot go into Beddingfield | Konrad’s without drooling over | the handsome clothes. Since lyou know it is a clothing Istore, and that their specialty jis men’s clothing, I won’t go (into detail about suits, shirts, ! hats, and similar items. Re i member they also have very [ fine casuals for women. For the man who wants a jacket I that will furnish warmth with 'out weight there are laminat ed coats of three lengths. ! This laminated foam material i is of feather-weight with the |warmth of wool. Pop Overs, ao popular with young men |:now, are neither shirt nor jacket, but both. Made of heavy wool plaid, they are to slip over the head and wear |'with tail out, with or without a shirt. The English Leather line Of toiletries is a good gift suggestion for a practical [ but not-too-expensive item and the eye-catching tie tacs, tie [ bars, and cuff links are also in the moderate price range. In addition to shirts made ■of the favorite Madras ma terial there are also the pocket secretary and belts. Jiffies”, the durable house slipper for both men and wom en, would be for lounging comfort and greatly appre. dated.
