GIFT OPENING SUPPLEMENT
NECESSITIES
BEFORE LUXURY
FOR HIS GIFT
' Br MARGUERITE YOUNG
NEW YORK In his diction
ery, Webster calls on Swift to
define "present."
The result is worth the atten
tion 01 anyone anoui 10 tear imo
a unnsimas snopping iisi rar
men.
The denniuon is "someming
he wanted, or was fond of, which
could not be easily gotten for
money." What Swift means was
HIS money.
But take a turn in the shops
right now and you'll find that
for YOUR money you can get
anything easily from a cozy
sleeping bag for a soldier or a
barbecue apron set for a man
who fancies himself as an al
fresco cook, to a really smooth
low-priced rayon lounging robe
for the fellow who needs one.
In all your shopping for men,
however, remember one thing:
It's "necessities before luxuries
this tax-stricken year," say men
As one young, but tax-burdened,
man puts it: "My notion
of a 1941 dream Christmas is
enough shirts, socks, ties and
suits to be always pressed and
proper without ever thinking
what in send to the cleaner
when."
Robes typify the practical gift
In this category. Remember,
however, that even those men
who want clothes will doubly
enjoy something a bit finer, a
bit more "special" than he buys
for himself and he'll go for some
thing that's both practical and
beyond his regular buying
habits, something he really
ought to have but doesn't, tike
beautiful wine-red set of three
square, fluted-back military and
clothes brushes with excitingly
white bristles and matching
comb, all done up in transparent
plastic box.
PRACTICAL GIFTS ARE ,
MOST APPRECIATED - "
As you go up the scale in price
and suitability for his in
come, these practical things are
available in more and more sur
prising forms. The brief case be
comes a fine leather "executive's
case" with plenty of room for his
papers and a separate compart
ment for his overnight things.
There's an electric tooth brush
that looks al) the maker calls
it the first scientific advance
since the aborigine invented the
tooth pick.
There are mackinaws, scarfs,
country jackets, slippers, gloves,
every conceivable piece of wear
ing apparel in new textures, and
especially new combinations and
colors.
Any man can use, and likes to
get, new jewelry. There are some
interesting new items this year.
Of course here, as everywhere,
the defense motif is prominent.
There are cuff-links, tie-clasps
and collar pins bearing the insig
nia of different branches of the
service. One unusual item is a tie
dip that is a miniature gold
finished saber scabbard. It
sheaths a tiny saber, which act
ually pulls out and can be used
as a knife and nail file.
GADGET COMBINES
CALENDAR AND KNIFE
A bright gadget for the other
end of his watch chain is a new
calendar knife. This is a gold
finished disk, bearing on one
side, his initials, on the other,
an ingenious 6-year calendar. In
side, there is a knife blade with
nail file.
And of course there is that
good old stand-by, the necktie.
If you know his taste and the
usual colors of his suits, you can
- get him ties from half a buck to
as much of a strain as your budg
et will stand.
If he's in the US service, your
problem's simple, because the
stores have thought it through
for you, and completely. There
are two versions of the sleeping
bag at two prices, one for the
officer, the other for the soldier
and, seriously, one of Man
hattan's largest houses reports
there's been a big wave of buy
ing on these bags.
A service man's utility bag
which Is not too expensive,
measures seven Inches In length
and four and a half in diameter.
It contains dental floss, first aid
kit, comb, nail file, shoe polish
and cloth, styptic pencil, razor
blades, pencil, a light.-notcbook,
nail clipper and soap. Give him
that and he'll never mention the
number of items a woman keeps
in her purse!
. For flyers, consider a pilot's
wallet that holds his license and
rating card without folding. A
pocket flight log case that has
.ii-n'kju tcatiici Ulliuillg. AIIU
of course, he'll welcome warm
mufflers and gloves, fine boots,
goggles or a special airman's
watch that can practically navi
gate a plane.
In service or out, he'll warm
to one small thing of luxury If
that thing is something he real
ly needs. What he wants, one
thoroughly practical lad says apt-

that is, what I consider less
'Important1 than what I buy my
self." Like really handsome
cocktail shaker, he exemplified,
or like some sensible, though in
expensive, new gadget.

AM I HUNGRY? Indeed, and who wouldn't want to have lunch down town right in that middle
of a busy shopping day. Imagine, going home and fixing yourself a snack. Not me, says Sharon.
She is making her choice of salads from a tray held by solicitous Jackie L.ech. who waited on
Sharon while she polished off a lunch of soup, green salad. Salisbury steak, candied sweet pota
toes, creamed green beans, hot rolls, a pot of chocolate and apple pie a la model That's what a
shopping tour did for this young lady.
self, by all means give him
something for that.
Of course the way to find out
what that kind of man wants is
listen to him. Consciously or
unconsciously, he'll tell you, and
very likely he has done so long
ago and all you have to do is
remember.
NEW SEWING GADGET
