Plan to take your time In
wrapping gifts. Wrap them
neatly, avoiding messy ends
by tucking them under and
securing with tape.
Roll in Paper !
1 This year, rather than put
ting everything into a box,
wrap some items by rolling
them In corrugated paper. Tic
them up firecracker-fashion.
For those who have set
aside a generous budget for
gift wrap, there are ready
made bows, decorated tape,
and many "little" extras that
can top off a package so beau
tifully. And of course, lots of
exquisite paper is being
shown everywhere.

with red stars. Wrap a child's package in deep blue paper;

packages and finds it so daz

slippers or a host of other
handsome things to wear.
Elegant gifts need not wear
a high price tag. But finding
such gifts sometimes requires
more than a hurried shopping
trip to your favorite store.
You'll find the time and ef
fort well worth it, however,
when you see you've pre
sented the "exactly what I
wanted!"

beauty, there Is nothing quite
as nice.
Unusual wooden cheese
boards, often with lovely
glass' or ceramic covers are
wonderful gifts, especially for
those who entertain. Salad
servers, chopping boards,
candle holders, pepper grinds
and salt shakers are also
grand choices.
Art Popular
Ceramics have never en
joyed such popularity as they
do today . . . and no wonder.
Modern ceramics, such as
demitasse cups, candy dishes,
ash trays, tea sets and vases,
come in a tremendous array
of shapes, colors and designs.
There are many "afford
able" gift-possibilities in sil
ver and copper too. Trivets,
drink stirrers, tea kettles, let
ter openers, espresso makers
and small serving bowls are
very much in fashion for
1961, and make marvelous
gifts.
In glass, the gift choices
are practically limitless, but
here are a few suggestions for
that "something different":
makeup mirrors with ornate
frames, bottles and decanters
in' every shape and size, and
just purely decorator Items
that serve no' function. r
Laather for Beauty ''
To jnany, and especially
men, nothing surpasses leath
er for beauty. For him, choose
an unusual. attache case, cigar
humidor or cigarette case, or
one of the many other leather
items that go beyond the bill
fold or belt category.
For her, an exquisite leath
er jewel box might be just
the thing. Very small ones,
about traveling size, are not
expensive. You can give the
lady on your list a leather
billfold this year that will be
quite new- ... in leopard or
something more unique than
calfskin.
Basketry items, in rattan,
wicker, straw, etc., are ordi
narily very inexpensive and
there are some extremely
smart items to be had.
For example, a small size
hamper with a handle is not
only decorative in the kitchen
or living room, but It Is also
very handy for many pur
poses ... for storing items
before ironing, to carry on
a picnic, as a sewing or handi
craft carryall.
Small Baskets
Small baskets may serve as
containers for guest towels
in the bathroom; to hold
bread or crackers on the din
ing table ... the variety of
baskets and their uses are al
most endless.
Even paper offers some
truly elegant Items. There
are lovely "throw away"
guest towels, gay Christmas
tablecloths, party napkins,
and lasting decorator items.
Shop with imagination this
year . . . you'll stretch your
budget and boost the appre
ciation your gifts receive.
Lifetime Diamond

Outdoor Decorations
May Be Kept Simple
This Christmas all over
America, homes will be like
young butterflies spreading
their wings . . . unfolding a
blaze of color and light!
Outdoor decorations will
range from large, expensive,
mechanically powered d I s
playa, to one small wreath on
a door ... but both are signs
of nelghborliness and hospi
tality at this Holiday Season.
Doors, and a picture win
dow if you have one, are the
best spots to start your dec
orating. They are "naturals"
as focal points.
Serves As Frame
Your walk serves as a
"frame" for the doorway as
seen from the street ... so
don't forget that.
Lights are, of course, the
most exciting and festive
ways to dress up your home's
exterior. But, there is virtual
ly no end to the many ways
you can decorate if you let
your imagination go to work.
But, here are two important
hints to keep in mind: (1) Be
sure your display is not a
clutter. Feature one design,
and use all other items to en
hance that. And (2) be sure
your displays are weather
proof. This is particularly Im
portant where lights are used.
Washes Off
Besides lights, tinsel, green
ery, cut-outs, etc., which you
know work for good displays
..' . . you can use casein paint
to decorate your door, garage,
windows, or vhat-have-you
. . . goes on easily and washes
off quickly.
Remember, that rain and
snow can smear it or wash it
off ... so use casein paint
only where it 'is protected.
Test it on a small area first
. . . just to be sure!
Consider talking to your
neighbors this year about hav
ing ' a coordinated display.
It's a good "excuse" for get
ing to know your neighbors
better . . . and can make
yours a neighborhood the
whole town will be proud to
show off!
FOR THE HOSTESS Wrap

age caddy sets, with jewel de

Measure Height of
Tree Before Buying
Be sure to measure the
height you want for the tree
In your home, and then take
that yardstick with you when
you buy.
A tree in an open-air lot
looks smaller than it actually
is. It's a waste of money buy
ing a tree that Is too tall; it
also means it will have to be
cut down.
You can't go wrong in se
lecting a gift that has eye ap
peal and "nose" appeal for
the woman who loves utterly
feminine gifts. Give her per
fume, cologne, powder, soap
or bubble bath.
