HERE ARE TIPS TO HELP YOU IN CHRISTMAS SHOPPING

Go to Stores Early in the Morning When Everyone’s Temper Is Best, Establish Personal Contact With Saleswomen, Says Professional. December insomnia begins its reign again. Uneasy lies the head that hasn’t decided on a gift for mother, for dad, for sister and brother or for Cousin Sue, who has everything that money

can buy. But in the midst of j'our troubles, ronsider the professional shopper. Because of her, thousands of people will .sleep soundly in spite of the reason and view the Christmas crowds with a supercilious eye. For the professional shopper will tlo their work for them. All Indianapolis department stores have professional shoppers—women who assist patrons in their purchases. In larger Cities In larger cities, the professional shopper aids even on a greater scale. Vou tell her what you want and she will get it. She knows all the shops, both large and small —where the oriental wares are—where old brass and antiques can be purchased. These professional shoppers know how to buy. They know it’s wise to buy nothing but the best —that gifts which please are those that are novel and not too expensive. Consider the case of Mrs. Chauneey K. S. Miller, editor of the Shopper magazine at New York. On her list this year have been such miscellaneous items as. mauve garters for a dullish college professor, a jade leash for a pampered Pomeranian, a bassinet for a Pekinese, firescreens for a house in Arizona, "sonwthing for my divorced wife—not tc i intimate and not too formal," a diamond and platinum mesh bag, a hair switch for a grandmother, a shoe stretcher and a rope of pearls—to' say nothing of those terrifying items vaguely set down as "something nice” or "something suitable.” Did she get them? She did. And this is how she did it. Personal Contact "I shop early—and late, if necessary—not only early In the yeah hut early in the week and In the day. The hours between 0 and 12 are golden, the clerks are rested and gracious, the stock is fresh, and one’s temper ts at its best. I rarely shbp at noon or late in the afternoon. "I try to form a personal contact with a saleswoman in each department that I patronize. She will he invaluable in years to come, by finding bargaiiis for me, notifying me of sales, Identifying me when I write cheeks, and generally taking an interest in my shopping problems. "The business of pleasing individuals by the gifts you buy rests wholly on your ability to put yourself in the recipient’s place. Use your Imagination in choosing presents. Do not give your friends the things you would like, unless you know they share your tastes. And always, always, uso tact." Scales, for Instance For example, Mrs, Miller has bought dozens of small bathroom scales for gifts this year—but only when the donor specified that he wanted them. “If a fat woman has admitted her weight, and is trying to reduce, one who knows her very well might give her a scale, with the assurance that she would not take offense. But sucji a gift would be a decided risk from a casual acquaintance, who had never heard her speak of reducing.” Gifts for men are always a vexing question. This season has brought several novelties for the masculine relative or friend. There are numbers of flasks and pinch bottles and bottle sets that lock, either with a key or a combination. The new ash trays play a little tune so long ns the cigaret Is resting in its little groove, and stop when it is lifted. For the man who travels extensively, there are fascinating small folding chess and checker sets. Should Be Conservative The swank dress stud this seasof) is a huge black pdarl, either real or imitation. "Women's gifts to men should he conservative in color and style, for men hate the loud or fussy things that suggest a feminine taste,” says Mrs. Miller. Gifts for the household this season are varied and novel. A firm in New York is making hearth screens in iron, using a silhouette of the household cat or dog or bird, and leaving holes for the eyes, so the fire can shine through; "Beware of household articles for anyone whose house you do not know,’’she warns. “The scheme of decoration may not permit miscellaneous additions.” For the woman friend who “has everything,” there are many subtle kinds of flattery to be conveyed in gifts. There are the lovely exotic candle sets, the boxes of assorted sachets for her linens and lingerie, the most delicate perfumes In beautiful containers. No one can have too many of these things. Simple Gifts for Children Children’s toys are so varied and elaborate that the danger lies In giving too must rather than too little. “Simple gifts for children,” is Mrs. Miller’s rule, unless the client specifies otherwise. “The rule in giving presents Is to choose things that are the best of their kind, however large or small. Better an exquisite card or a few roses than a more pretentious gift that does not live up to Its pretentions. “Nowadays, the best gifts are either very old, to meet the antique vogue, or very new, to satisfy the Buy TOUR Wearing Apparel On the “AMERICAN”.

THE WOMAN’S DAY

DOWN, ROLLED HOSE! The pretty daughter of the Sultan ! of Sulu, Princess Tarhata Kiram, a I graduate of an American university, lias given up her Occidental ways of rolled hose and bobbed hair for the ways of a girl of the harem. Tarhata j went home not long ago to become I a member of the Datu Tahil’s harem, | whoever he is. But when the sultan I saw his dnughter, the product of a western university, he neld up his sultanic hands in sultanic horror. Now the princess has adopted the more modest ways and garb of true Mohammedan women. It would be | interesting to know Just what its compensating joys and charms ate. Must be pretty good to effect the exchange. SELECTED SOULS A committee of selected souls from the General Federation of Women’s Clubs now meets in solemn oession in a darkened room where pre-re-leases of the Nation's films are films are shown them. After ogling all and sundry, they sit down togetlier with notebook and pencils and issue their recommendations as to which of the shows are fit sights for teething children, adonoided children, and their elders without children. ONE BIG “CARP" I sometimes fear that I grow into a carping critic. But I just can't resist one good big carp at this select committee. It savors to be of the utterly presumtuous, ns any move is presumptuous which attempts to say “what is good for me, is also good for you. What I enjoy, you must enjoy. What harms me, will harm you.” YOU AND I We nre all such creatures of our inheritance and experience. We see a movie. It's setting is the sea pounding on a rocky coastline. The very spot where wo lived as a child before inland life was our lot. There is a bad bold rum-runner in the story who smuggles his loot into the many caves of the coastline. We hardly notice him but watch the flickering film breathlessly, eyes upon the sea and tho crags and the crested waves. !

“NOT NICE" No member of tho "selecting committee” ever lived by the sea. They all-see only the plot—the rum-run-ner. He might teach the tricks of rum-running and deprave their children themselves. They bar the picture. That is they recommend that their members do not see it hor permit their children to see it, and thus even a child whose mind has stored up from history books a vision of the sea, might be deprived of his own picture because of something he will not see at all. "MEDDLING BUSY-BODIES” Individuality, personality, is too precious a thing to "monkey with.” After all, natural selection protects us and our children about as wess as any outer interference. I regret this move on the part of the good club women. It’s so silly and irrational, and one more reason why club women are laughed at as "meddlers and busy-bodies.” A CHRISTMAS BOOK If your child loved the book of “Pinocchio” and you’ve read It over and over to him until it’s worn out, buy him for Christmas "The Little P.lue Man,” by Giuseppe Faneiulll. It’s a darling. ON PLUCKED EYEBROWS The plucked eye brow must vamoose. So say none less than the stars of Hollywood. The natural eyebrow is "in.” To be sure, it's naturalness can be helped just a little. That is. the stars do not insist on the foliage left above the nose. But that surprised, incrudulous, puzzled expression that made so many of our maidens resemble newlyhatched Buddhas is "out,” praise tho stars, REPORTS HOSIERY LOSS Young Man, If Lucky Won’t Need Socks for C hristinas. If some young man was lucky, Christmas shopping is not going to be ro expensive for him. Tho Real Silk Hosiery Mills reported a package containing fifteen and one-half dozen pair of assorted colored hose, valued at $lB9, lost somewhere in the downtown district.
