At the Libe today I’m sure
that I presented a most indus
trious picture. There I sat bent
over a heap of papers, pencil in
hand, with an agonized look on
my face. Contrary to popular be
lief, I was not writing French
verbs, nor was I translating
Chaucer; I was making out a
first-class Christmas list in a
methodical, scientific manner. I
submit for your approval.
For the Gadabout: (that would
be Dot Manners) An evening
vanity in black rayon satin com
plete with compact, purse, comb,
and cigarette case personalized
to the last piece with silver in
itials.
Second choice would be an or
nament that would take her out
of-this-world. Imagine a glitter
ing sequin bow perched high atop
her very blond hair, a fairly in
expensive but effective gift.
For the Sophisticate: (who else
but Ely Merrilee?) Elbow-length
evening mitts of black lacd to
augment her black strapless for
mal (the one with the lace bod
ice and full net skirt).
Naturally she would adore per
fume, especially something sul
try, like “My Sin” or “La Vierge
Folie.” For which would you cast
your vote ?
Because she is a woman of dis
criminating tastes she would love
some dainty black lingerie.
For the Debutante; (None oth
er than Percy Horner) A nec’j
lace of simulated pearls adjusti
ble to choker or a longer length,
With interchangeable bows. Or
cuff-links to go with her tailored
suits. The ones I saw had ear
rings to match, which is a pretty
smooth idea.
For the Sports Fiend: (Easily
recognized by her eagerness to
attend swimming meets or foot
ball games, whichever includes
the current man). A white flan
nel shirt to top her tennis shorts
for winter games. And for those
New Year’s day ball games she’d
look keen in a beige wool classic
on which the buttons make like
little gold footballs.
For the Collegiate Type: (The
rah-rah girl) A masculine-look
ing frame to surround the pic
ture of her man, who is at pres
ent giving- his all for Uncle Sam,
would make her squeal with joy.
If she smokes, why not give her
tl box of one hundred match packs
distinguished by stylized mono
grams ?
If she doesn’t smoke she'll ap
preciate a set of-transparent cas
es to house her sweaters (it keeps
the angora ones from" the dark
plain knits) or a varied group
of colored bandanas.
For the Feminine Type; A tiny
glass clock which chimes out
“I’m dreaming of a White Christ
mas’’ on the hour for which it
happens to be set, will positively
inspire her to be prompt.
A delicate evening shawl might
take the place of a not nearly so
becoming jacket.
Third choice, almost as good
as the first, would be a match
ing nightgown and negligee of a
pale shade, more inexpensive
than you would think.
eor tne lauist: (hirst witn
the latest 1 A velvet ribbon Dog
Collar embroidered with bright
stones might catch her fancy; or
ballet slippers, the newest in
footwear, to display between acts
at the opera.
Undoubtedly she would cherish
colored stockings to match cer
tain outfits, though wo might
not be brave enough to start
such a fad.
The Demure Type: Cologne and
nil that goes with it in "Heaven
Scent” or "Apple Blossom.”

Let These Suggestions
Solve Shopping Woes
By MARY ANN CAMPBELL
Even the gal who Has Everything will be delighted to
have a pair of SLIPPERS with little Russian peasants on
the toes, lined with polka dotted cotton, and as gay as bright
dye can make them ....
Several people lately have been wishing right out loud all
over the public that some kind soul would see fit to give them
YARDLEY COSMETICS in some form or another . . . .
They d be more than delighted,
as who wouldn’t . . . ?
If your favorite roommate
knits, present her with some
YARN FOR A SWEATER. You
know the colors she likes and
how she’s been longing for a
daffodil yellow number . . . Be
sides the grapevine says wool
yarn will be increasingly difficult
to find . . .
One present you’ll be tempted
to keep yourself is a big CHIF
FON SCARF to keep the winds
off your curls when you’re all
done up in evening clothes . . .
The effect is plenty remarkable
on the less glamorous gals . . .
and on the really pretty ones,
it’s marvelous . . .
Considering the heat problems
everyone is getting ready to
worry about, your sorority sister
or your Aunt Maude would both
welcome a woolly waistcoat for
winter evenings by the fire . . .
And along the same line of
thought, take a look at the won
derful woolly slippers that are
all over town.
If she's going to get married
or if her wedding was only a few
weeks or months ago, present her
with something she can use in
the apartment . . . clever towels,
tea or bath, will brighten the
place up considerably . . . Gay
linens, either with appliqued de
signs or printed in dashing col
ors, are also plentiful . . . There
are innumerable clever boxes for
cigarettes or love letters in
Wood, metal, or pottery.
Pottery ash trays never bo
back to be exchanged after the
holidays . . . Remember, too, no
body ever has enough good-look
ing vases . . . One in a Eugene
shop is especially impressive . . .
Persian pottery, done in very
subtle reds and dark blues and
gray and white . . . Sounds dull,
but it isn’t, and the shape is so
lovely you don’t need to put
flowers in it . . . Unless she plans
to do a lot of moving in the next
few months, she’d adore some
glass . . . either plates, or glass
es to drink things out of, or mir
rors to hang on the wall . . .
And then, was there ever a bride
Who didn’t welcome a cookbook
with outstretched hands ... es
pecially the 1941 edition of Fan
ny Farmer’s Boston Cooking
School cookbook, practically a
MUST for every beginning cook.
