¥ Yuhtide Gifts-Gay Or Quite Horrible ? My MARY ANN CAMPBELL Comes the gay Yuletide season, the horrible fact that you are go ing to have to Give People Pres ents begins to haunt your waking hours and most of your sleeping one, too. That whole matter rap idly swells to the proportions of all your finals, and sometimes even gets more important than exams. The Dear Family Your own dear, darling family can present the worst problem of all. Somehow it always seems next to impossible to decide just what they would like, because, after all, you've got to go on living with them, and either have to see your MISTAKE, that looked so beauti ful surrounded by holly and mis tletoe, perched glumly in the cen ter of the living room, to be point ed out to shrinking and stricken guests with a “Sis gave that to us at Christmas 1” or, the even more alternative, have the family un able to sneak out and exchange your gift and consequently mutter mentally all year that you Might Have Done a LITTLE thinking! Avoid Misery So, now, to avoil all this misery and horror, we are going to extend the helping hand and take the whole matter under consideration. First, to get your mother a pres ent.

The lilac really j DOES smell like a whole hedge of I purple and white lilacs in the spring sunshine, and the violet is equally realistic. The Herb Farm Shop also puts out herbs and vine gars containing basil, thyme, sweet majoram, and the old standby tar ragon, not all at once, of course! Jewels! Or, if she likes jewelry, there are numerous bangles that dis tinctly resemble cariter diamonds, even if they aren't. Stockings are mundane, but handy, and so is lin gerie. One present we think any one, your mother or someone else's, would welcome with cries of joy is one of those hairbrushes put out by the Ogilvie sisters. There are various and assorted ones, but they are all equally ef fective in attaining shining locks. I Papa, Too | For your lather, your gilt win largely depend on what he enjoys. I If he's a- sport-minded soul, all I you have to do is prowl around some sporting goods store for a bit and you will undoubtedly uncover some fishing tackle he would adore, or some accessory for his guns, or maybe a new variety of ski wax that he hasn’t tried. If he prefers his collection of records to the great open spaces, you ought to listen to Lawrence Tibbet and Helen Jepson sing all the songs from “Porgy and Bess” or the al bum containing the Russian fairy tale, "Peter and the Wclf,” which is more appreciated by adults than the children. It shouldn't be hard to avoid handing some neckties and socks. Your Contemporary Sisters Your older and contemporary sisters are simple. Just get them what you'd like to have, and they’ll be perfectly happy. Your brothers, especially the younger ones, are Not So Simple. If they are beyond the quaintly amusing toy age, but not yet sufficiently mature to ap preciate the finer things of life, they will probably ask you for skates, either ice or roller, and hockey sticks. You might as well give them to him. He also would probably like a subscription to a magazine that discusses his fa vorite hobby exclusively. For your brother who is old enough to drive, a book of script for oil and gas will make him hap py. Merry Christmas!
