CHRISTMAS GIFTS SHOULD FLATTER WOMAN’S VANITY’

Soaps, Salts and Creams in Forefront BY JULIA BLANSHARD NFA Service Writer NEW YORK, Dec. 13.—Christmas gifts for a woman, be she wife, mother, sister or sweetheart, really should flatter her vanity. All women have a little bit of it. Many of them lack money to purchase those luxuries that feed it. Women who get out of the home daily are truly appreciative of lovely gifts that heighten their attractiveness. Women in the home need them even more, to bolster up their psychology. First of all flattering gifts are those dedicated to beauty, such as perfumes, powders, fine soaps, bath salts, compacts, exotic cold creams and make-up fixings. Discover brands she likes before you buy, however. Next come handsome or bizarrely stunning containers for such as these. Fine Glass Is Good Fine spun glass dressing table bottles and vials, perhaps in one of the new bubble or gingham patterned crystal with colored stoppers; elegant atomizers with bottles of perfumery; new dressing table sets of mirror, comb, brush and manicure set with all the crystal gadgets repeating their design. Dressing tables, powder tables, makeup boxes, are sure to please. So of course are tickets to highclass beauty parlors, hair specialists or one of the reducing establishments. Fine lingerie probably Is the next best choice. All women love handmade pretties and some of the new dance sets, with their backless slips and teddies, are exquisite in delicate colors, lace trimmed. Negligees Are Beautiful

Negligees this year, gone quite feminine, are beautiful. Mules to accompany them are delicate and appealing as flowers. Silk hosiery is one gift sure to please, especially the mesh kind. Boudoir pillows, bed and pillow cover sets and such luxuries as chaise lounges might take 20 years from mother's feelings. Evening gadgets always delight the dancing girl. New chiffon handkerchiefs should be chosen to heighten the effect of her favorite dance frock. Evening purses may be had in brocaded lames that will flatter any colored gown* Long gloves are an excellent choice, since they are one of the very latest accessories to appear on Fashion's horizon. Wide Variety in Jewelry Jewelry is both the happiest choice and the hardest. If one has much money, there are such exquisite necklaces, bracelets, brooches rings, cigaret holders, evening compacts, purses set in real gems. If one hasn’t, there are beautiful Imitation pearl necklaces, of the new fashion with crystal medallions, brooches and clasps, costume sets in contemporary design, sports sets of novelty leather links in necklaces, bracelets and belts, with sometimes sports sandal buckles, too. A dainty pair of jeweled slipper buckles, a monogram for a purse, a jeweled pin or clip to ornament a hat, or a pair of long, dangling earrings which are quite the latest style, all are acceptable. Furs, frocks and other articles of clothing are difficult to choose successfully, so one should have a “hint” or two before deciding on these. But bright, colorful rainy-day apparel delights the school girl and business woman. Anew, squat, plaided or striped umbrella is a nice gift, too.

PARIS, Dec. 13. a new departure has been launched by Louiseboulanger, which she calls a “studio gown" ... a sort of dress-up negligee, as it were. They are not open like an evening gown, but are so tightly fitted here and transparent there that they are more frankly revealing than any evening gown ever dared to b e. M tt tt One of the most intriguing has a lame (lah-may) bodice, with wide bell sleeves, and a beige net skirt to the ground. The underslip is so

short as to be scarcely worth mentioning. Another has the bodice of white georgette and the skirt in pale pink and green lace. a a FOR evening wear the most frequent material is the lovely new brocaded lame. These gowns are all draped softly about the bust and hips, and have long flowing lines. The material is transparent, and the underskirts are really straight trousers, to the knees or longer. These trousers are of lame or lace and look like a regular under.si ip, only close observation revealing that they are divided. Some of the skirts are formed of panels, others have circular flares. Taffeta likewise is a favored material for evening. These dresses also have softly draped bodices, but the skirts have rather special arrangements. Some have a crushed frill top. in the back or on the side, from which panels descend. Old-fashioned heavy velvet is similarly used. Avery attractive evening gown made up in velvet of this type is in jade green, and has the' ruche effect at the top, at one side, and a fishtail falling to the floor from it. Several models are shown in the always brilliant combination of a beaded of pailletted top and a smartly flaring net skirt. an Tinetd photographs can be lovely—if they are simply tinted, not painted or colored. And YOU can tint your photographs in this lovely soft way, if you follow the very simple directions we give you in this week’s illustrated leaflet for which you may send a 2-cent stamp to the Dare Department of The Times. Yes, promise!! 1 tt tt tt THE woman of fashion is tired of the ideal of Diana the Huntress and is ready to accept the ideal of the more feminine Venus. This, according to a famous Parisian couturier, is the reason for the radical change in the silhouette seen in women’s clothes this season. In discussing this, he controverts the objection of some athleticminded women that the new clothes are hampering in line. n n tt AS I see it, there w.ll be a decided line of demarcation in dress lengths of sport, afternoon and evening wear for some time to come—below the knee, across the calf and swooping over the ankle. tt a a Au Revoir!
