Thousands of Toys
Offer Wide Selection ,
For Children's Gifts
Shopping for Christmas gift
toys has come a long way from
the simple and traditional selec
tion of a doll for a girl, or a sled
for a boy.
Today there are thousands of
toys, games, costumes, play
equipment and educational toys
to choose from for children of
all ages.
The bewildered adult shopper
should keep in mind the age of
the child. Most toys today are
slanted for a particular age
group.
You may become fascinated
with an electric train, or mech
anical toy, which you look for
ward to operating, but think first
of the age of the recipient. Your
local toy department will help
you select the correct toy and
here are some helpful gift ideas!
Gifts for Infants
Soft, cuddly, washable ani
mals are wonderful crib-mates
for the diaper crowd. A gayly
colored mobile to hang in the
nursery makes an unusual gift.
For toddlers, rubber and non
breakable plastic toys for the
tub are fun. New foam rubber
building blocks are safe and
washable. Animated musical pull
toys are loved by boys and girls.
Rock 'n roll has invaded the
young crowd with pliable toys
on rockers or .wheels.
Pre-Kindergarten Toys
From two to four, youngsters
go for blocks, simple puzzles,
wheel toys, coloring sets, tri
cycles, dolls, inflatable toys and
play equipment.
When children are four to six,
they like simple games, doll
houses and furniture (new this
year is patio furniture for a doll
house), toy telephones, paint
sets, scooters, wagons and roller
skates.

Jewelry Provides
Large Variety of
His, Her Presents
A glance at the showcases in
your jewelry store will show
you that each age group in your
family has been studied by de
signers with an eye to fashion
and appropriateness.
It is never too early for a
child to be exposed to good taste
in his personal possession, and
it's never too late to become ac
quainted with it in the form of
the best things made by modern
craftsmanship. Thus the infants'
bent-handle spoons, silver rat
tles or teething rings with silver
bells, brush and comb sets,
pearls for starting , a necklace,
cups, bib holders, poringers, tiny
gift rings all are in the fore
front of fashion.
For older boys and men, for
that matter the right tie clip,
cuff links, key chain or pen
knife are to be found at the
jeweler's. A wide variety of gift
suggestions for young girls in
cludes a piece of sterling in her
chosen pattern, her first piece of
precious jewelry in the form of
a pin, bracelet, barrette, locket
or sterling picture frame.
Odds High
The odds are extremgly high
that when a man chooses a
Christmas gift for a woman, he
will select jewelry.
When he goes to the jewelry
store this years, he's due for a
pleasant surprise. Leading de
signers of jewelry have created
a glittering array of necklacess,
pins, earrings, bracelets and
rings enough to turn "her"
head without overturning "his"
budget. '
A wise man will remember
that as in all things feminine
jewelry fashions change from
year to year.
This year, for instance, bib
necklaces are making fashion
news, to fill widely scooped
necklines. And another type of
necklace has a long backdrop to
be worn with low back dresses.
Scatter pins are larger than
in previous years, and pairs
may be similar, but not neces-
sarily perfectly matched.

HERE ARE SOME tips on wrapping gifts of "cash"! Fine purse
and pocket accesories solve many a gift problem from the family
teenagers to the friendly postman; a combination wallet clutch- !
bag for the teenager; an alligator dress wallet for your favorite
"he"; a French purse for the lady of fashion; a billfold with lots of
picture space and a miniature French purse for "mad money"
for any gal.
Young Sub-Debs Like
Gifts of Items Which
Are Today-s Fashions
What do little girls want for
Christmas? Dolls, of course, but
perhaps you've been giving this
traditional gift for several years.
This Christmas, why not give
her something different!
Young sub-debs of the . gram
mar school set are surprisingly
fashion-minded. Delight her with
a pretty party dress with match
ing slippers, a crisp petticoat
for her full skirts, a quilted
robe and slippers for watching
TV, or a bunny-fur hat and muff
set. All are really glamorous,
almost "grown-up" gifts.
Stocking-filling gifts for the
young-at-heart could include: a
birthstone ring, a music box,
bubble bath, a play watch, a
dainty locket or a little leather
purse.
Playing House
Playing house is even more
chignon of a lady's hair. Created
in insure your popularity with
her are a jeweled "chockstick"
or a clinging circlet to help hold
her hair in place.
Bracelets run the gamut from
tailored 'chains with a gold
"coin" drop to high fashion
"cuffs" of sparkling stones.
Before shopping for a jewelry
gift make a note of the favorite
colors of the woman who is to
receive it, and decide whether
she would prefer something
elaborate or tailored. A little
forethought will mean you're
sure to please her and she'll
admire your good taste.
fun with miniatures a real
vacuum cleaner, a cooking set
with sample foods, 'a sewing
machine, milk-shake blender (op
erates on batteries), an ironing
board and iron and cooking
utensils. Your local toy store
will have these gift ideas and
many more.
You'll be remembered always
if you give a teenager her own
telephone (perhaps in a pretty
pastel).
Also for the high school
crowd, you can't go wrong if
you give them a record album
of their favorites.
She'll love to receive an
atomizer and bottle of perfume,
or a three-piece dresser set
(really distinctive with her ini
tials), or an unusual boudoir
clock. With so many things hap
pening in these growing years,
she'll appreciate a leather-bound
diary.
Holiday Parties
For her holiday parties and
dances later on, give her a velvet
evening jacket, a glitter evening
bag or a slim compact.
Frivolous bedroom slippers
with roses or pompons on the
toes, or in gold mesh elastic
and a smart pair of lounging
pajamas will brighten her "slum
ber parties."
No teen-ager seems to have
too many sweaters, or jewelry!
A new bulky-knit cardigan and
a gold dangle bracelet will be
welcome in any wardrobe.
Almost all girls, of all ages.
