Popular Christmas
Trees Suggested
For Holiday Use
Perhaps you are one of the
wise folks who already nave
decided just what kind of tree
you are going to have this
Christmas. You may even be
going out to the woods, to
cut your own.
Or, you may plan to buy
one at the nursery to trans
plant outdoors after the hol
idays. No matter whether you
have your particular tree in
mind, or not, here's a run
down to some ol tlic more
popular and attractive Christ
mas greens:
Douglas fir: A fragrant and
lone-lasting tree, this ever
green is a favorite on the
West Coast and in the Plains
stairs. The dark yellow-green
or blue-green needles, strip
ed on the underside, are flat
and pliable, about an inch
long, and are attached all
around the branch.
Popular Choice
Balsam fir: This is one of
the most popular choices for
trees because of its symmetri
cal shape, fragrance, and long
lasting qualities. You can
identify it by its needles,
which arc about one-half to
one inch long: deep, shiny
green on the upper surface,
gray-green with two broad
white stripes on the under
side; flat with rounded tips.
They grow singly (and thirk
ly) on opposite sides of the
hranch, forming a flat spray.
The While fir is similar, bid
has longer needles that are
pale grcc to whitish and curve
upward and outward.
White pine: Not as popular
as Scotch pine, but many
folks prefer this species be
cause of its rich hluc-grcen
color. Its long needles (three
to live inches) grow in clus
ters of five (Scotch pine has
two), and are slender and
flexible.
As with ninst other pines
the long needles give the tree
fuller, bushier appearance
than fits or spruces.
Culler pines (Virginia, Hen
or Norway. Pitch. Austrian,
etc ) can also he recognized
by their lung needles grow
ing in clusters
lilack spruce: Like oilier
spruces (Norway. White, Dlue.
eic.) lilack spruce is best for
an outdoor tree or decor. i
tions liecau.se it sheds its
needles after a few days in
doors.
Leaves Bump
Needles are one-fourth to
three-fourths of an inch long,
pale blue - green, stiff and
sharp-pointed, and are attach
ed all around the branch.
(One way to distinguish a
spruce is to pull off a needle
- it leaves a bump.) Often
it has rounded cones about
an inch long. Spruces are not
as fragrant as firs or pines.
Eastern red cedar: This
tree is most popular in the
South, it lias short (about one-
hnlf inch) awl-shaped or scale
like needles, which are ycl
low- or blue-green. Sometimes
it lias small, dark berries.
The famous cedar aroma Is
released only when the' wood
is cut; it's not very fragrant
otherwise.
Hemlock: Not a good in
door tree because needles
drop quickly, but makes a
handsome outdoor wreath
The flat needles arc about
one-half inch long: dark green
on top, paler undercath with
two while stripes: and round
ed or notched at lip. Needles
are attached all around the
branch.
Shoe Polisher Is
Suggested as Gifl
Todi.y men iirc more con
scious than ever of lootvvciir
styling and pity more atten
tion to their ishocs. They like
me leathers, take pride in
wcll-nroomed shoes. But as
the shoe shine boy disappears
from the American scene,
shoe shining has become, (or
the most part, a do-it-yoursell
job which most men don't
take lo very enthusiastically.
That's why it's well lo con
sider an eleeinc shoe polisher
(or the man in your life this
Christmas. Here's a gitt that's
really appreciated. Models
now available make shoo care
a simple even pleasurable
chore with easy push-button
operation. One polisher line
has two bonnets one for
black shoes, one (or brown.

sweater line-up goes on and
on in rich glowing colors and
styles.
Slim jims, capris, stretch
pants, shorts, slacks, etc., are
all high on a girl's wish list,
and selections are tremen
dous. Blouses to tuck in or wear
outside run the full gamut
from pure while to black, in
solid colors and prints of all
kinds. Fabulous new fabrics
make their care a dream.
Tlicre are styles for the tom
boy types or the "1 love ruf
fles" ladies.
Wrap her lovingly in a
new coat, a jacket or cape
and you'll put stars in her
eyes.
A mink coat, of course, will
thrill her, but she'll love a
cashmere if it's from you:
tweeds, all leather, and a most
elegant fabric story shape up
the new coals for Christmas.
Although this season's unlrim
mcd coats arc lovely and sim
ple, the big news is in the
exciting handling of coats
with luxury fur trims.
If you'd like lo make it a
gift of fur but can't afford
it, look at the fascinating "fur
look" coals that authentical
ly copy the sophisticated leop
ard, otter, beaver and mink
look of the real thing. Best of
all so many of these fabulous
fakes have real furs on col
lars and cuffs to enhance
them.
From blazer jackets to the
widest variety of ear coats,
jackets are designed to top
the elegant formal or sleek
look ski pants. Some arc
hooded, many are pile or fur
lined; others have linings that
go out or in as the weather
changes.
Topptrs Availablt
She'll certainly welcome a
topper for all weather wear.
Some of these look like the
ater coats yet shed water like
a duck when the rains come: lone fabric for the topside and
many do an about-face with I a completely wearable limn
Shaving Essentials Available as Gifts

toiletry counter or depart
ment. Here's a wonderful chance
for a gal to buy the cologue,

to flip over to when the oc
casion or mood is right.
Although capes in poncho
styles head many sportswear
showings, the cape, that's
most favored, comes in fur
mink, in tricky capelets of fox
chinchilla and other luxury
pells.
A fashion conscious wom
an always seems to look a
wee bit more elegant when
she adds a smart scarf to her
costume. Whether for high
fashion evenings, or for foot
ball games Christmas gift
scarves are complementary to
every feminine mood and fan-

thing-special" extra gift; their

knits, chiffons: in solids,
prints, polka dots, etc., etc.,
etc.
Yes, give her something to
wear she'll know you care.
