Small Necklaces
Ideal Gift for
All-Age Girls
No girl is ever too young
for beauty or forfashion, the
Jewelry Industry Council
claims, and this truth offers
some special Christmas gift
ideas for the younger set.
Girls of all ages have cre
ated a major fashion trend
with their passion for the tiny
necklaces known as mina
tures. A small design or pearl
hanging from a fine gold
chain and nestling in the hoi
low of the throat has proven
its power with little girls of
six and those over IS as well.
Even the 3-to-6-year-old set
has its own special version of
these popular miniatures.
Cold Bracelets
Narrow gold bracelets are
another fashion favorite of all
ages! And the power of
charms goes on forever.
Charms marking every senti
ment and every event for
every age make a special and
lasting gift! Scarab bracelets
are big, big fashion among the
high school and college set
and are often worn two arid
three at a time.
Bar and circle pins are tops
with the younger set and there
can't be too many of them.
In classic gold for daytime,
or, set with tiny pearls or
stones for dress-up wear, a
circle pin is a fashion must.
And, of course, a string ,of
cultured pearls is every girl's
most glorious Christmas
dream.
Jewelry makes a lady out
of a young girl, and a Christ
mas gift of pure delight.

Seeing Youngsters Happy Is
Cherished Christmas Tradition
Christmas History Intrigues Clerical Scholars for Years
The history of the Christ
mas observance is one that has
intrigued clerical and lay
scholars for countless years.
Researchers have found that
as far back as the fourth cen
tury, the Christmas festival
was already an established
custom dating back to earlier
eras.
The word Christmas began
as "Christ's Mass" or as in old
English "Christes Masse" or
the Mass of Christ. Following
the custom of the church in
observing the anniversaries of
deaths, rather than births.
. It was not until St. Cyril,
Bishop of Jerusalem, set out
to affirm, one. day for a uni
versal observance that Christ's
Mass was changed from its
previous celebration in the
spring. - ,
The good Bii-iop was grant
ed permission by Pope Junius
I to appoint a group of theo-.
logians to determine as accu
rately as possible, the exact
date of Christ's nativity.
Too many years had elapsed
for absolute accuracy, and
after discovering various con
tradictions of calendars, as
trological and astronomical
calculations, the date for the
celebration of Christ's Mass
was set by the Church for De
cember 25th.
So it is that since the year
354 A.D., this date has been
observed as the date of the
Saviour's birth. ,
Members of the Greek, Rus
sian and Ukrainian Orthodox
Churches celebrate this" on
January 6th.
To this day, the festival of
Christmas still occurs on
many different dates through
out the world.
December 6th is the day
when Christmas is observed
in most Western EuroDean
countries and marks the be
ginning of a long, happy holi
day season!

To see children happy, with
shining eyes and radiant faces
is a most cherished Christmas
tradition. The toys they find
under the tree play an import
ant part' in just how glowing
happy the little ones-will be!
To recognize a toy that pro
vides lasting fun for our chil
dren, we first must under
stand a little bit about play
and what it means to a child.
Children at play are work
ing at the very important job
of growing as individuals, and
toys are their vital tools!
Learns Development
The child learns to develop
his muscles and his coordina
tion. He learns the value of
playing alone, and the value
of companionship when he
plays with others.
In endless ways, through
play, the child works to be
come a happy, healthy, self
reliant person.
Most parents agree that
children should ' have educa
tional toys. However, many of
them feel that these toys
aren't always "fun." Few chil
dren will ever tell you - main
ly because they don't know it
themselves-that they have no
use for a toy which does not
aid their development.
- Instead they hand down
their stem" judgment by stand
ing in the midst of a play
room full of unrewarding toys
and complaining to their irri
tated parents that they have
"nothing to do."
Good Toy Is Safe '
Then, what is a good toy?
First, a good toy must be
safe-. It should be free from
sharp points and edges so that
serious injury cannot result
from normal use. A toy should
be reasonably durable .
even "careful" children give
their toys a tremendous beat
ing. Be sure that small unattach-

ed parts of a toy can be
bought separately. In that case
you'll avoid winding up with
a useless $10 pounding table
because 50 cents worth of pegs
got lost.
The. toys must have possi
bilities of participation. Chil
dren want to get into the act.
At best they will show only
a fleeting interest in an ex
pensive mechanical clown
which they only can watch.
Mildly Challenging
By all means, give your
children a toy that is mildly
challenging. However, the
skills necessary for the use of
the toy must be well within
the range of the capabilities
of the child.
Many parents will buy toys
for their children which are
too advanced. Just ask your
self the question, "Have -1
ever seen my child, or any
child near his age display the
particular skill this toy re
quires?," and you're well on
your way of eliminating too-
advanced toys which might
have found their way to your
Christmas tree.
Notice, above all, which
toys capture your youngster's
interest. Take into considera
tion the preferences your
child mentions. When you be
come thoroughly familiar
with his capacities and limita
tions, you can make your tour
of the toy , stores with confi
dence that you'll get the right
toys.
The most reassuring thing
about playing Santa Claus is,
however, that children either
forgive or forget our mistakes
in selecting their toys. At
least, they always look forward-to
the next Christmas
as eagerly as they did the last.
Varied Earrings
Popular as Gifts
Earrings dramatize both the
story of texture and the pow
er of color. Button earrings
take the lead for classic wear,
and the upsweep and dangle
designs are splendidly related
to the "dress-up" look in after-
dark fashions.
An important trend in jew
elry accessorizing this season
calls for mixing as well as
matching- This is seen in gold
earrings worn with pearls, and
colored stones " with a gold
necklace. The traditional
matched look" of necklace
and earrings will continue
strong, and has been elaborat-
d to include the pairing of
earrings with pin or bracelet.
