between haircuts and wear his
glasses if that is how people
recognize him. If he has a hob

Yuletide Said
Ideal Time for
Diamond Giving
The brightest star on the
Christmas tree is a diamond en
gagement ring.
Most June brides get en
gaged at Christmas time. It's
such a festive, sentimental sea
son, and also the ideal time for
giving diamonds.
In addition, Christmas brides
grow more numerous every
year, with the holiday season
second only to June as the fa
vorite wedding date, so tne
Christmas diamond is in high
demand.
Whether it's a wedding or en
gagement ring, it's a once-in-a-lifetime
gift that must be se
lected with care and with the
aid of a fine jeweler, who can
give expert advice on the
choice ,of the perfect diamond.
' Still Top Choice
The diamond solitaire is still
the one top choice for an en
gagement ring, and it need not
be a large stone to have bril
liance and beauty. New "dia
mond point" white gold settings
are almost as brilliant as the
stone itself and can enhance
the smallest diamond.
New and beautiful also are
engagement 'and wedding ring
combinations, designed to fit
together so that the two can
give the effect of one striking
ring.
The combination of white
gold and diamonds is always
effective and popular, even
more so this year in engage
ment and wedding rings.
Whatever the style, whatever
the size, the gift that outshines
them all is the Christmas diamond.
