We Shopper Is Educated, - '< * Retailer Says It will be a bolder, yet more realistic type of male shopper who will haunt lingerie departments and perfume counters this Christmas season, according to an Allentown, Pa. retailer who conducted his own survey. The survey shows that the average man will be looking for dainty and intimate items—without blushing when the salesgirl asks what size. Man’s greater interest and knowledge of women’s fashions account for part of this change in habits, Hess says. Realistic “ 1 I r Another survey revelation shows that men will be shopping more realistically. Besides the romantic “must” items men buy for their lady folk, such as French perfume, lacy lingerie and upholstered jewel and candy boxes, this year they will buy more /‘bread and butter” items such as practical ready-to-wear apparel, household appliances, cooking utensils, home furnishings and garden supplies. The survey found that the men folk will know exactly what they want, what the wife needs around the house or tor herself and exactly what she has been wanting for a long time—but there will be some surprises. Some Surprises Some of the surprises will be cocktail dresses which the male shopper will buy for his lady and the man will know the size dress she wears and the color she prefers. When it comes to perfume, the male shopper will demand recognized scents and the favorite ones of their ladies, not just any perfume the saleslady suggests. Know-How Preserves Beauty Os Plants You don’t really have to have a green thumb to have “luck” with house plants. You just need to remember that such plants need sufficient light and sufficient humidity. If your plants are thin and don’t flower properly, they need more light. If plants drop leaves or turn brown, they lack sufficient humidity. Give your plants the light they need — utilizing incandescent or fluorescent lights if necessary. But, by all means keep plants away ... from radiators and other sources of dry heat.

Gift-giving is in keeping with the spirit of Christmas-if it is done with emphasis on giving and sharing, rather than on being sure that we give each individual a gift that is as good or better than the one we receive from them. It is even more in the spirit of Christmas if we give to the less fortunate, with no expectation of receiving something in return. Let us enjoy the practice of gift-giving by keeping it in its proper place. We’ll enjoy the holiday if we give wisely. We will give with pleasure if we give no more than we can afford. Christmas shopping need not be such v chore Gike anything else, it can be made much pasier with some planning and forethought. Shop first in Stores where you regularly trade during the year. You know where everything is to be found. Plan your trip through the store, on paper. Make a list of the items you are interested in, separating them by the departments in which they are located. Don’t spend too much time “looking” for a particular item. Pass .over it. Get the other items on your list. During this time you may run across the item you “missed.” If not, don’t continue looking. Ask for help. One question directed to a store clerk can save you several minutes of valuable time. If the store delivers, as many of them do, take advantage of the fact. Don’t lug packages around with you when you can have someone else bring them to your doorstep. If the store gift wraps, and most do during the holiday season, don’t be fooled into thinking you can do a better job. Maybe you can-but you’ll have more time for other necessary things if you let them do it.

Indians Had Many Uses For Red Cranberry Cranberries, a traditional part of our Christmas menus, were used in many ways by the American Indians. “Pemmican” was a paste made from cranberries. Cranberry poultices were applied to cuts and wounds, and the juice of the berry yielded a red dye. The Indians called cranberries the “bitter berry.” Early American Pilgrims, noting the fruit to be the favorite of cranes, began referring to them as craneberries, and eventually cranberries. PROPER TOYS The fact you wanted a certain toy when you were a child is no indication your child would like to have one for Christmas. He might just as soon play with the box and the wrappings. Toys are for children. They 'represent wasted money if the child has no interest in them, if they are too “old!’ for the child, or so complicated only an older child or an adult can manipulate them. MISTLETOE Some believe the ancient Druids gave mystical significance to the mistletoe because it grows high among the branches of oak trees, touching neither heaven nor earth. It was believed to be immune, therefore, to the malignant influence of evil spirits. The Druids, from Gaul, settled In the northwest section of France now known as Brittany. The mistletoe is still popular in France, where It is called “gul.”
