Joy
Gifts Of Fashion
To Be Popular
This Christmas
By GAILE DUGAS
KEA Womrn'i Editor
modern Christmas can be
burden. The difference
lies in planning. And since women
do about 90 per cent of all Christ
mas shopping, the Job of planning
falls to them.
Finding gifts for the gals on your
list is easy if you start earlv
enough. If you make out a list well
in advance and jot down after
each name the approximate amount
you want to spend, you're in busi
ness. More than ever this year, gifts
of fashion will be popular. Aside
from the fact tha. every woman
loves pretty things to wear, the
size factor has been removed from
many fashion items. Stretch gloves
and hosiery tagged small, medium
or large take the guesswork out of
many hitherto risky gift possibil
ities. 1
Newest fashion gift to solve the
cize problem is the stretch gloc
for all hand sizes in leather, wool
or satin. Stretch gloves have been
on the market for some time, but
not in satin and leather. These
come in high fashion colors and in
styles for everything from sports
10 evening wear.
The wig cap turns up for Christ
mas giving in bright clipped wool
yarn and in one head size. It cov
ers the hair completely and has vel
vet bow trim.
There s no guesswork at all in
buying a handbag either for day
time or evening use. If she likes
her handbags big, this is the Christ
mas to give her a large leather
Handbag. There are many sophis
ticated versions of the tote bag
in the stores. Most of these have
inner zipper compartments to hold
papers and all of the oddments a
woman accumulates.
For evening, pick the prettiest
beaded bag you can find. This
year there arc many of them, done
in white seed pearls with pale pas
tel trim.
Costume jewelry is a gift that
rates high with most women. This
Christmas the short four-strand bib
in glittering crystals or a combina
tion of crystals and fake pearls
make the gift a high fashion one.
The teen-ager on your list will
love a personalized gift. Her own
jewel box, with her name on the
lid, will hold all of the costume
jewelry that a teen-ager manages
to accumulate. Or. you can give
her a round carryall, such as fash
ion models use, with her name on
the lid.

IF SHOE FITS
UNITED NATIONS. N.Y. (UPI)
Soviet Delegate K.D. Levychkin
charged in a U.N. committee
meeting Friday that Italian dele
gate Mario Majoli had made
"slanderous remarks" about the
Soviet Union. Majoli. said he had
referred merely to suppression
and distortion of United Nations
news by "totalitarian govern
ments." "If the distinguished rep
resentative of the USSR thinks of
identifying his government sys
tem with what we described here,
he says so, and I can have no

Interior Decorotor Finds
Self Marriage Referee
By EDWARD S. KITCH
CHICAGO (AP) - Take a hus
band and wife, each with strong
wills: add a difficult decorating de
cision; ana wnat nave you got?
A potential marital free-for-all.
says Sydney Simon, an interior
decorator by profession who some
times tninks 01 nimself as a mar
riage counselor besides.
Simon often finds himself called
upon to settle disputes between hus
band and wife over choice of col
ors, fabrics or furnishings.
He does it by striking a hanov
medium between the tastes of the
whole family.
'Men and women have radically
different ideas on which comes
first, comfort or style," says Simon.
One couple was on the verae
of the divorce court when they
came to sec me."
The correspondent in the case
was an old overstuffed easy chair.
'The husband had a particular
fondness for this chair, which was
man-sized and roomy, if something
of an eyesore," says Simon.
"His wife was bent on replacing
it with something along more slen
der, modern lines.
Simon was called In when the
quarrel had reached the silent
treatment stage.
He suggested reunholstering the
chair in a muted color to harmo
nize with the rest of the room's
interior. -
Now, says Simon, husband and
wife are living happily ever after.
women especially feel that
home furnishings reflect their
objections," Majoli said. The
committee guffawed. Levychkin I taste to the rest of the neighbor-
Kepi sun. 'hood," explains Simon.
"Many are so afraid of making
a mistake that they totter on the
brink for weeks, weighing one fab
ric swatch against another and be
ing chronically indecided about ov
erall color schemes."
Most husbands, he adds, can't
tell French Provincial from Amer
ican Shaker but if it's easy to re
lax with, they like it.
Part of Simon's job is getting
husband and wife to understand
each other's viewpoint, before he
tries to then reconcile the two.
"Men want to know: Is this chair
solid? Will it support a 280-pound
frame?
"Women are interested in the
chair's usefulness, too, but they
also want to know if it will fit into
the living room they're dreaming
of."
Color is the contender in manv
differences of opinion.
Men tend to like strong blues,
greens and browns, whereas wom
en go in for more reds and yellows,
Drancning ott into such refinements
as cyclamen pink and hyacinth
blue," says Simon.
Women's fashions nowadays have
a decided influence on their taste
in home furnishings.
APPLE CAKE DOES IT!
ST. LOUIS (AP)-The St. Louis
Zoo, searching for recipes to
tempt a valuable 600-pound gorilla
into eating again, has found a win
ner in old fashioned German ap
ple cake.
Phil, the gorilla, hasn't been
eating since he was stricken with
an intestinal parasite last month.
But he ate cake Friday with a
cup of oatmeal.

Hula And
Home Sewing'
By VIVIAN BROWN
"We wear grass skirts to Hal
loween parties and pageants, may
be, but that's about all," giggles
Juanita. tooniey. 14. of Honolulu.
"Some girls here might imagine
we wear inem all the lime, even
to school," laughs the junior high
school student, in New York as
first Hawaiian contestant to make
the finals in a national dressmak
ing contest.
But that doesn't mean .luanita
can't dance the hula she's so
good at it. she may make a ca
reer teaching it.
"Whenever there is a new sonc.
such as 'Kapaue," one I'm study
ing now, we go to school to learn
the new hand movements that go
with the song. I learned the hula
at five, but there are always new
motions."
Juanita has the long tapering
fincers that add to the graceful
beauty of a Hawaiian Eirl's hands
an absolute requisite to hula danc
ing.
"But if things don't pan out in
the hula business, I'd like to be a
model," says the brown - eyed,
brown - haired daughter of an
Irish-Hawaiian father and a Span
ish mother.
Hips are important in hula, but
it's the feet that help give a grace
ful look, she says, illustrating with
three simple foot movements
put feet two inches apart, move
the right foot slightly, then the left
foot toward the right foot. Count
to three, your hips swaying gent
ly ana s-i-o-w-i-y as you bend your
legs gracefully.
Hula is danced at all celebra
tions in Hawaii, she says, but the
hula rires? is rather like a long
sarong with a train. Tcen-acers
dance it at soirees where roast
turkey, baked ham, potato salad
and punch make up the fare.
Our homes are more modern
looking than yours, and we have
as many conveniences," says Jua
nita. "But our young fwiple do
not have as modern clothes a
girls here." . ''.
Juanita, who says "I reckon so"
like a mid-westerner, is a good pal
to her 17-year-old brother, and it
pays off in dates.
"But now we're both 1 going
steady," she says, explaining that
although most Honolulu girls go
steady, they do It without their
parents consent, as it is not anr
proved. "Hawaiians do not marry
young. We must get permission te
marry before la. Boys wait untfl
about 22." . . ..
Her four days in New York in
clude many side tours, but hei
own choices are to see the Statue
of Liberty and St. Patrick's Cafhe

who accompanied her) will spend
a week sight-seeing in Los Angej
