GIFTS IN OREAT VARIETY SHOWN FOR ’TEEN CLAN Choice Is Not So Difficult for and (siris or 11 to 15. Thii J* another of the series of hints to Indianapolis shoppers, to aid them in their Christmas “ordeal.” Another will appear Monday. BY BETTY HEFFERNAN Gifts for boys and girls between the 11 and 15 perhaps are the most difficult problem the shopper encounters. Toys are too infantile and so-called “sensible” gifts are apt to prove a keen disappointment to the eager boy and girl on Christmas morn. During this ’teen age, interest in sports claims attention of the healthy boy and his modern young sister. Junior tennis racket, with a good press to give the new devotee of the game the right start in caring for his equipment, is an excellent gift for the athletic youngster. A complete s ep of small golf clubs, as beautifully balanced as the regular size, will help John and Mary get the necassary practice to shoot an envied low seventy or eighty in a couple of years from now. A gay golf bag of true Highland plaid is the fitting container for the small size sets. Skates Are Appreciated Roller skates, with steel or the very new rubber wheels, keenly edged ice-skates to make intricate “figure eights,” or skiis for the Eastern or Northern boarding school miss or prep school boy, are other sporting house suggestions for exuberant youngsters. For the studious boy or girl who have a seemingly insatiable appetite for books, I saw some fascinating editions of youth’s favorite astories, “Ivanhoe,” “Westward Ho,” “King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table,” and Arthur Pyles’ “Book of Pirates,” all beautifully illustrated, with brilliant full page drawings by well-known artists. If a gift of wearing apparel is disguised cleverly as to its useful aspects and just appeals to the young recipient’s critical taste, nothing is a more excellent remembrance from the parents’ point of view. A pink satin robe, interlined with wool and attractively quilted, is an appealing gift for the young girl who adores dainty feminine things. A tiny pair of matching satin “ffiules,” with fluffy rose ostrich bandings (just like her other sister’s, only flat heeled), is a welcome companion for the pretty robe. Blanket Robes Good For the husky boy, a brilliant beaconcloth blanket vohe in a loud Indian pattern and finished with a cord girdle is a thoughtful present. Soft felt slippers, for this young warrior to slip on when he curls up in a big armchair to study his lessons, come in all plain colors. Raincoat sets, in approved though miniature college style, come in bright shades of blue, green, and red for the young girl, and in manly black for her brother. These "slickers” are well lined, and finished with a naval emblem on the sleeve. Imported from Vienna are the soft woolen scarves for girls. These scarves are hand-crocheted and bordered with embroidery and have deep-fringed ends. A silk square in stripes of figured design in any of the many shades and colors is a popular gift for the boy. Junior sport hose in the smartest plaids, figures, and jacquard effects come in all the color combinations. Just the thought of how many of the sport hose youngsters need will encourage the shopper to include several pairs on her list. Cameras for Boy Scouts For the true Boy Scout I would suggest a camera in either the box size or the more expensive folding model. A horsehide leather coat or a suedeskin jacket are other apliropriate gifts for the zealous young camper. Nothing is as thrilling as the first wrist watch a young boy or girl possesses. These watches can be had in inexpensive though dependable makes, with gold or white goldfilled cases. Other styles for the boy are strictly sport in character, plain shaped watches, with tailored leather straps. Other gift suggestions I noted are tool chests for boys who like to create, & mirrorscope for projecting pioture postcards, gold and silver )ien and pencil sets, line-a-day Ixioks, and interesting questioners, containing question and answer sheets, some of which are illustrated.
