Jewelry Stores Have Exciting Selections Seals May Be Used for Decorative Purposes Everyone is eager to us - Christmas seals on envelopes ; and packages at Christmas-time because they know that by us ; ing them they are helping a . most worthy cause. However, it is possible to put those seals to other decorative uses as well. Why not decorate your tree ; with Christmas Seals . . .the : design for this year is colorful, as always, and will provide a wounderful touch. - n . For instance, you might try taping a row of seals around the center of your solid-color bulbs as an attractive trim. Or, you can cut bulb shapes ' out of cardboard, cover them with seals and hang them with : string on branches for unique, colorful ornaments. If you're really ambitious try designing a Christmas scene in a poster board with seals, to' create an unusual holiday deco ration. Indicate a simple drawing with a holiday theme, such as a reindeer or an angel, in pencil, then follow the outlines with seals. Place seals along border of your design to frame it. Set in one of your windows or over the mantel for an eye-catching display. When wrapping, instead of ty ing ribbons around some of your gifts, try outlining a rib bon and bow with seals for an attractive design. For best ef fect, use a solid - color paper that matches any of the colors in this year's seal. You may think of other ways of using Christmas seals in holi day decorations. For centuries the jewelry store has been traditional gift headquarters at Christmas, car rying the most exciting selection of memorable gifts to be cher ished through the years. Gift-buyers, the Jewelry In dustry Council reports welcome the taste, trained fashion sense good . judgment and integrity that are synonymous with jew- elers. This year, you will find an even greater assortment from which to make your selec tions. When shopping for a watch for instance, handsome sty'ing and individuality are likely to be as important as accuracy to the wearer. And so great is the variety in watches this Christ mas lliat only the trained jew eler can point out the merits and suitability of each one. Utility watches, for out-of-door wear and sports; pocket watches and chains for formal wear and wrist watches design ed especially for professional business people are found to be in striking attractive styles. Silver holloware, tea sets, bowls, dishes, trays reflects the good taste of the giver as few gifts can. Because today's silverware is the focal point of fashion in the home, the factor of style judgment in selection can make for the most happi ness all around, regardless of intrinsic value or price alone. Gifts for All A glance at the showcases in your jewelry store will show you that each age group has been studied by designers with an eye to fashion and appropri ateness. The Jeweler offers gifts for infants such as: bent handle spoons, silver rattles or teething rings with silver bells, brush and comb sets, pearls for starting a necklace, cups, bib holders, porringers and tiny gift rings. For older boys, and men for that matter, the right tie tack, tie clip, cuff links, key chain or pen-knife are to be found at tl i jewelers.

Young women's gift choices are sure to include compacts, jeweled earrings and pins, clips and rings. Gifts of jewelry make any woman seem prettier, and younger. Jeweler Helpful Santa is linked in the minds of many with the fashions of today. That means jewelry and more of it. Again the jeweler can be helpful, for he makes it his business to know the fash ion trends, whether it empha sizes longer waistlines, shorter sleeves, distinctive necklines, or whether the jewel accent is to be near the face, lapel, waist or elsewhere. Sterling identification brace lets are worn early today by young men in their teens; their pen and pencil sets, leather wal lets and desk accessories will tend to reflect personal tastes as well as future professions or oc cupations. Smoking accessories take on importance, including lighters, cigarette cases and holders. Rings may assume the im portance of fraternal insignia, the dignity of initial or -signet designs. Perhaps the birthstonel ring has become significant in the young man's life as a giftj ring worth having and wearing for its symbolic meaning and; proof of someone's lasting fection and regard. lli Wfffilf 4 ' litis ft iS v v if -ii y Latest in Ski Fashions Noted GAS HOOK-UP ITEMS BLACK PIPE GAS COCKS Vz" i 14 Vz" VA" 34" 18 34" 1 Vz" 1" 26 ., I T" 2" Metal Beitoj Double Wall Pipe for Gas Vent All Sizes 3" Through 6" Now that Natural Gat It t reality In the Rogue Valley, t lot of you folki will bo wtnting 0i hotting, Gat Dryers, tie.

A thoughtful gift of soft, elegant suede or glove leather slippers will pamper and please every man, woman and child on your holiday list. Your choice this winter ran ges from soft ankle - hugging leather boots that are suitable for both indoor and outdoor wear to slippers designed chief ly for the path between the re frigerator and the easy chair. Gift footwear for people who prefer to view the wintry scene from behind a windowpane boast high fashion and a high degree of comfort. For the eirls there are leath er slippers or mules in colorful lavish fashions. Some are beau tifully embossed in gold or sil ver. Others are embroidered in floral designs. Diamond Shapes A harlequin slipper is made up of bright leathers in dia mond shapes. Its corners turn back and are fastened down with tiny silver bells or gay, gold pins. The court jester's slipper- boot of soft-leather reaches to the ankle where it is gathered in with a band of jewels, fur or a leather thong. A new idea in women's slip pers is a leather lining in an even brighter shade than the slipper itself, such as gerani um lined with turquoise, yellow with citron, and scarlet with bright pink. . . Men's easy slippers also come in a variety of styles. These are leather-lined, low-cut opera slip pers in glossy smooth leather for wear with an elegant dress ing gown. ;; . , For the man who prefers casu al dress at home, glove leather moccasin slippers are availa ble in a variety of colors and styles. One popular moccasin features a folded back, stitched down tongue. Travel Slippers Another happy Christmas though is a pair of soft leath er travel scuffs that tuck into each other. Wherever he wears them, they'll remind him of hearth and home. - And, don't forget the children. Their slippers should be bright in color, high cut (to make it hard to pull them off), and with resilient leather soles and uppers to help support growing muscles. Brightly colored leathers and leather' linings attract young' sters and make them want to wear their slippers not trot about barefoot on dralty floors.

Ombre border at hemline is pastel. Something in ski wear that's the guaranteed-to-please Christ mas gift for any skiing enthu siast. After all, half the fun of skiing is wearing the dramatic fashions designed especially for the snowy slopes. But up till now, stretch pants that looked so sleek when new, lost their shape after a few tumbles in the snow. Worse yet, light colors, though high in fashion, were extcremely hard to keep clean. That's all over. The latest thing in stretch pants, avail able just in time for Christmas giving, are made of acrylic and nvlon fibers that dry in no time, no matter how many spills you lake. And best of all, they can be machine washed and dried au tomatically, according to the Maying Home Laundry center So those lighl-colored pants are now as practical as they ar pretty. Use Cold Water For best . results, wash for five minutes with regular agi tation and cold water. How ever, if they re heavily soilea, better use warm water and gentle washing action. The wash-and-wear setting on your dryer provides just the right temperature to relax the fibers and minimize wrinkles. Maytag experts recommend steam pressings every four or five launderings to rejuvenate "permanent" creases and pleats. . . ... Stretch pants are so comfort able and smart-looking, they've been adopted by many who have never been near a ski-lift. And now that they can be washed, they're practical for growing youngsters, loo.
