The young lady seems pleased but the reaction of her young gentleman friend is a bit different. He isn't quite sure of his opinion regarding the new boy dolls on the holiday market this year as companion to more familiar girl-type dolls. “Well-1-1 ... if you like dolls. . . Puritan Children Not Without Toys While it is quite true that Christ mas was just another winter day in early New England, Puritan children were not without toys It is quite likely that children in Puritan families received toys as awards for being good. Since there were no stores in which to buy toys, the father had to rely on his own ingenuity and imagina tion. In most instances, toys were miniatures of furniture or other items familiar about the home, and were carefully whittled ou* of wood. Some interesting toys from the New England of a century and a half ago may still be seen at Old Sturbridge Village, Mass., a re creation of a typical town in this period of American history. Included in the collection are such items as a doll bed, wheel barrow, a slant-topped desk, and a tiny team of oxen drawing a sled. IN THE PARK ... In the midst of the bustling city, there’s always a quiet and rus tic spot. New York’s Central Park, for instance, can become a magic wonderland when Christmas snow covers the trees and the icy lake, providing sharp contrast for buildings which raise their concrete towers to the sky. Fine Wrapping Enhances Gifts Decorative wrapping can do much to enhance the appearance and value of the most simple gifts. Here are a few suggestions to help you to better gift wrapping: Always work on a solid surface —a kitchen table, for instance— that affords plenty of “extra” room. Carefully measure paper before cutting. Cutting away excess paper after gift is half wrapped is cumbersome task, does not make for neat wrapping. Make your bow separately and do not attach it until rest of wrap ping is completed. Be sure that ribbon matches at least one of the colors in wrap ping paper. Dont’ use dainty designs or pas tel paper for a man’s gift. Paper with large designs or broad stripes should not be used to wrap small packages. GOOD GIFTS The housewife who thinks she has run out of gift ideas may be missing a bet, right in her own kitchen or pantry. Most any family would wel come gifts of delicious home cooked foods. Relish, pickles, preserves, jellies, or just canned fruits and vegetables, wrapped in at tractive packaging materials and topped with a ribbon, ber ries or artificial decorations— isn’t there a family on your list that would enjoy such a gift? BLESS US ALL . . . Christ mas prayers below stockings hung for Santa Claus to fill— this is a touching scene, oft re peated during the holiday sea son. Along with the request for a wagon or a doll, there’s usually mention ot blessings for “mom and dad—and everyote.” USE SPOTLIGHT If you want your outdoor decorations to really attract attention, spotlight them and conceal the source of the light as much as possible. Placing the spotlight beneath nearby shrubbery hides the source of the light — but be careful; spotlights get hot and might cause damage to the shrubbery or cause a fire. SVlNT/l CLAUS The modern conception of Santa Claus is 99 per cent fictional and strictly American. But the spirit of generosity and thoughtfulness as typified by Santa Claus is very real, and it belongs to everyone. MUSIC BOX POPULAR The music box, widely popu lar during the 19th century, eventually gave way to the player piano and later the phonograph . . . but they haven’t disappeared complete ly. Always a good gift for milady, music boxes may hold anything from jewelry to ele gant perfumes. Children’s toys of various shapes and sizes offer a wide variety of tunes. Most popular at Christmas, of course, are the boxes which give out with the tinkly strains of Christmas carols. PAGE SI 2f|p m* t \ ■ r ‘ W V; /-b:- -. ■ v*«?3^Sss>' , Sf ; $ ■M SNOW LAND . . . Like an imitation fairy-land is this mountain scene, bat it’s tor real. It shows the ski house, sanctuary for snow lovers at Badger Pass, Yoeemite National Park in Cali fornia. The snow here reaches great depihu but winter sport* lovers are undaunted and log fires in the ski house are warm. fl FAITH We sincerelij joyous spirit of Christmas shines through for you. ROYAL CLEANERS HOLLYWOOD MAGIC . . There is beauty to delight the eye when heavy snowfall blan kets the earth and a clear stream courses like a ribbon through fields and forests of white. When the snow comes during the Christmas season it’s all the more wonderful. CANDLE CARE Candles are popular at Christ mas, but they can be dangerous. If a candle is too large for the opening in the cauolestick, dip the base of the candle in very hot water and you can then press it gently into the holder. Coat all but the wick of your candle with soap suds and allow to dry before lighting. The candle so treated will neitter smoke nor drip. g "Beautiful Dry Cleaning" | 1107 Caldwell St. I • f Newberry 'it £ ■ *jm BEST WISHES To all our wonderful friends— here's hoping your Christmas tree is big and bright and your day is filled with all the glad ness of this holiday season.
