To keep you toward that goal the Jewelry Industry council has issued its annual Christ man gift round-up. Known for expert gift coun seling, the council has pre viewed Christmas gifts in jew elry stores across the country and has emerged with a list of gifts for all age groups, in practically every price range. There are jewels, real and synthetic, styled in new, beau tiful pieces for women and handsome accessories for the men.

She appreciates the flat tering personal compliment expressed in a gift of jewelry or of a watch. The actual choice of a piece of women's jewelry or a watch is often a stumbling block, particularly for men shoppers. Jeweler Trained It need not be, for your jeweler is trained and ready to be of assistance in guiding your choice according to your budget. He knows, for in stance, that a strand of cul tured pearls is as much an ideal gift for a woman of ma ture dignity as it is for a young girl.
