Singer Andy Williams and actress Claudine Longet, like the rest of us, are concerned with what gift to give family and friends this Christmas. PLANT HOLLY' Holly can be gro^n in any sunny spot. Although a slow growing tree, a Holly will pro duce ample Christmas trim in a few years. Holly likes well drained soils and should never be planted closer thaq 15 feet from a house. OUTDOOR TRIM Pines, fir and spruce around a house can be safely decorated with lights, and add a Christ- masy touch to the entire neigh borhood. Bulbs of 15- wattage are suf ficient for outdoor glow. Hang outdoor sockets downward to prevent water and snow from collecting in them and rubber- jacketed cord should connect the lights. 1 I Hi' HOLIDAY ROBES. ..
