This is the advice of Dora Zarovich, designer of stuffed, washable toy animals. No, he does n't necessarily have to shop with you, but you can test his likes and dislikes, preference for color, and what he can handle by bringing him in a toy store and giving him free rein That's the way Mrs. Zarovich decides whether to market a particular toy or not. She gets the judgment of her young niec es and nephews by studying Hvftr reactions to a toy before she makes her final decision. As a result she has a definite guide to the toy taste of children of various ages. When a baby is very young, says Mrs. Zarovich, he has no known preference, so his mother usually buys him gentle, cuddly animals such as lambs, in soft pinks and blues. This is fine, she says, as long as the animals are waterproofed and colored with vegetable dyes. Later, at eight or nine months children begin to recognize col ors and generally the first one they learn is red. So, it is' a good idea when shopping for a child this age to keep that in mind, she says. At two or three years, Mrs. ; Zarovich discovered, a child i ILvts the animals he is familiar with. If he is city bred it might be a dog, while the country boy Ed; led by chambers in Vancouver Wash ington, Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. Williams, parents of the bridegroom, witnessed the cer emony. The bride wore a smart beige tailleur with a brown fur coat and brown accessories. Her corsage was of gardenias. Lt. and Mrs. Williams have returned to Salem to spend the Christmas holidays with his family. They will leave later for San Francisco where Lt. Williams will report after his leave. The bride attended schools in the east and is well-known in Salem where her parents for merly lived. Lt. Williams is a graduate of Salem high school and Willamette university, where he was prominent in ath letics. He has recently return ed from the South Pacific, where he has been awarded five medals, which included the Navy cross, for aerial achieve ment against the enemy in the Pacific. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Million will spend the Christmas holi days in Seattle with her par ents, Mr. and Mrs. Emil Sick. The Minions will be in Port land for New Year's as guests of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Beebe. Deaconess Staff Has Gay Dinner Over 130 employes of the Sa lem Deaconess hospital and guests were invited by the man agement to the annual Christ mas dinner held in the hospital dining room Tuesday evening.

Wedel, manager of the hospital, and Miss Sclma Hil mer, superintendent of nurses. will lean toward a horsp, cow, pig or chicken. But at four years she says a change takes place, particularly in little boys, who begin to switch their taste to wilder ani mals like lions, tigers and polar bears. Next, they show a preference for technical toys. Little soft stuffed gaily colored balls are enjoyed by children of all ages. A boy of four or six has just as much fun with these as the little toddler for whom they were created.
