Celebrate Holy Holiday
By Sending Flower Gifts
A Christmas gift that has
spiritual significance, yet is
so easy to select is a gift of
flowers. Along with greens,
flowers have played a role in
the celebration of the holy
holiday since earliest times.
Whether your garden is
covered with snow, or palm
trees form the holiday back
ground, flowers can be wired
all over the country.
A colorful catalog which
pictures 24 "sce-before-you-send
arrangements" is now
available at members of Flor
ists' Telegraphic Delivery as
sociation to simplify shopping.
There's also no need for
wrapping, or waiting in long
post office lines to send off
your greetings gift.
Yo-j can express a variety
of personal holiday senti
ments with your floral, or
greenery gift. Holly, when
worked into the familiar
wreath shape, conveys the
hope of eternal life. Red
blooms, say, in effect, "be
joyous" and while flowers
stand for spiritual calm and
purity.
Popular Poinieitia
If you are looking for pop
ularity, the nation's number
one choice during the Yule
tide is the star - shaped Poin
settia. FTD members report
wiring more of these plants
as gifts than any other holi
day floral offering.
Although most people se
lect the Christmas - colored
variety of the plant, those
with a desire for something
a little different can choose
from among pale pink and
white Poinsettias.
The florist's shop is also a
place to find a gift that will
put Christmas stars in a
child's eyes. A lollipop and
blossom bush is a present
that a child can sniff as well
as eat. Candy canes and green
ery can be made up into a
child's own Christmas tree.
Trim Bushes
The florists usually trim
these little bushes or trees
with sleigh bells and tiny
Santas to add extra cheer.
Gardeners will be delighted
with a chrysanthemum or
azalea plant which can be en
joyed indoors and later trans
planted outdoors.
From this point on, there is
only one thing left to do.
Make up your list carefully
and let your florist do the
rest with lovely, living Christ
mas gifts.
Choose perfume and co
lognes in exquisite bottles,
fine fragrant soaps, yummy
bath oils, handsome jewelry
boxes, quilted boxes or bags
for storage of personal things
for these are some of the
wonderful things gals love.

Musical Instrument As Christmas Gift Can Lead To Lifetime of Enjoyment
... . i t -1 U.An..t.. n( thn -rn
A $4 ukulele and a $4,000
grand piano have something
in common. Both can lead to
a lifetime of enjoyment tor
anyone on your Christmas list.
Here arc some tips from the
American Music Conference
on how to strike the proper
note.
IN STR UMENT FOR A
CHILD? Easy-to-play instru
ments are ideal for introduc
ing even the very young to
the fun of music. Among the
most populHr and suitable are
melody bells, xylophones, tri
angles, colorful drums and
rhythm sticks. Give five- to
seven-year-olds plastic flutes,
harmonicas or ukuleles. All
are used in elementary schools
as prc-band or rhythm band
instruments ... $1 to $10.
Good Age
NINE- AND TEN. .-..YEAR-OLDS?
This is a good age to
start youngsters on band and
orchestra instruments, espe
cially if they have had musi
cal instruction in primary
grades. Most woodwinds,
brasses and stringed instru
ments come in half and three
quarter sizes to accommodate
small hands.
Transition to standard in
struments usually by age 12
is easy.
TEEN-AGERS' FUN? In
struments that go where the
fun goes guitar, ukulele,
banjo, accordion or mandolin
are most popular with teens.
Guitars are the most popular
and teen-agers are responsible
for making the guitar the na
tion's second most popular mu
sic maker.
ADULT HOBBY?? Select
ing an instrument for an
adult is generally a matter of
matching the instrument with
the personality. The violin,
flute and classical guitar are
naturals for serious-minded in
dividuals. The more gregari
ous may prefer a recreational
instrument guitar, ukulele,
accordion. These instruments
are not classified as family
instruments, but help spark
songfests to Mom and Dad's
accompaniment.
A FAMILY GIFT? Instru
ments best suited for multi'
purpose use by all members
of the family are piano and
organ. The piano is the most
popular and versatile instru
ment in the United States.
Many families purchase pian
os because it affords young
sters a sound understanding
of music's fundamentals.
Easier To Learn
The organ is easier to learn
to play and recently has been
used as a jazz instrument. It
is ideally suited for parents
who think they could never
learn to make their own mu
sic. Spinet pianos with good
tone and action range from
$500 to $2,000; grand pianos
from $1,500 to $4,000 and up.
Portable electric organs begin
at $50; console organs suited
for home use range from $600
to $4,000.
Something new for Christ
mas shopping lists is an easy-to-play
mouth i n s t r u ment
that's fun for young and old
alike the "Melodica."
The Melodica has joined the
ranks of the traditional re
corder, bell and block in the
school music classroom. It is
also a favorite "beginner's"
instrument for the at-home
musician.
A two octave, chromatic
reed instrument, the Melodica
is blown into and played with
a piano-like keyboard. With
very little difficulty, anyone
can play songs such as "Long,
Long Ago" and "Jingle Bolls."
Unique Gift
Or, if there's a young child
who likes to make music or a
serious musician on your
Christmas shopping list, why
not consider giving a truly
unique gift this year? A re
corder. Whether in the music class
room or on the concert stage,
the recorder has won for itself
a permanent ranking role.
The beauty of this wood
wind instrument is that a
young child can spend hours
I listening to the sounds he can
produce on the recorder. The
accomplished musician knows
and beauty of the recorder's
tonal qualities and its impor
tant role in chamber and
and respects the versatility i woodwind concert works.

Pipe Buying Tips
Given So Gift
The ever popular Rift of
pipes and smoking tobacco
will be even more welcome
this Christmas as more pipe
smokers are on the scene
this ycHr. Along with this in
crease in pipe smoking popu
larity has come a greater va
riety of attractively packaged
tobaccos, pipes and accesso
ries to make Christmas shop
ping for the pipe smoker
easy and pleasurable.
Every pipe smoker heart
ily welcomes a new pipe for
his collection, and every man
has the urge to try one, while
surveys indicate that most
women prefer the appearance
and aroma of a pipe so
what better Christmas gift?
According to the Pipe and
Tobacco council, when shop
ping for a pipe, the woman
shopper should know a lit
tle about pipe styles. The
council suggests that the
man's interests, personality
and looks should be consid
ered when selecting a pipe.
While the tall man looks
well with a large bowled
pipe, his shorter brother pre
fers the small bowl. Students
and heavy readers welcome
a lung stemmed pipe which
keeps the smoke out of their
eyes, while a sportsman en
joys a pipe of the sandblast
lype. 'there are also unusual
shapes and grains for the col
lector as well as the popular
corn cob and aluminum shank
ed briars.
Specific Tipi
A few specific tips offered
by the 1'ipe and Tobacco
council for consideration
when purchasing a pipe are:
- Thinner walls on Ihe bowl
give a cooler snuike.
-A grainier bowl suppos
edly provides a sweeter
smoke.
-A fairly large bowl smokes
longer and gels that prized
cake.
There's a good smnkijig
brand-name pipe to lit every
individual and every midget.
When doing your Yulcticic
shopping, let your local tobac
conist or sales clerk assist
you in selecting pipes and
smoking tobacco tor your git!
list, tie will help you pick the
right pipe and smoking to
bacco to please your pipe
smoker.
Since every man wants "to
light up" as soon as he sees
his new pipe, give him a tin
of Ills favorite tobacco at the
same time. There are also
blending kits available for
men who like to experiment
with tobacco flavors.
And with a pipe gift for
Christmas you p.uo the way
for future gills throughout
the year humidors, racks,
pouches, reamers, pipe light
crs, smoking tobacco and
many other accessories as
well as more pipes are al
ways welcome
There's a symbol of peine
and contentment when a man
smokes his pipe - - so appro
priate for the spirit of Christmas.
