EW YORK, Nov. 21 (NEA) — Gifts that will give them that “grown-up” feeling—and even a little sense of “sophistication’—are what ’teen-age boys and girls want for Christmas. Girls from 13 to 19 want lovely underwear, lightly scented cologne in beautiful containers, luxurious cakes of bath soap and other bath and beauty preparations, dress-up clothes, sweaters and other things to wear—just as her mother and older sisters do. Boys in their ‘teens, like their fathers and older brothers, want equipment and clothes to further interest in hobbies and adult games. 8 a's OR girls, silk crepe pajamas with a separate, pocketed apron that ties in the back in a bow are new, So are white suede mittens, piped with gold kidskin, for evening parties. Daughters would love a pair of evening or afternoon party sandals or slippers in a new transparent plastic. There are matching bags with inserts of the transparent material. She’ll be pleased to find in her Christmas stocking a box containing a long rope of pearls and two or three equally long strands

Also in the jewelry category are interesting clips of wood and combinations of wood and metal. ” ” s . OR youngsters of both sexes there are new parlor games that every member of the family, including parents, will enjoy. Cir=cle gammon is quicker and easier than backgammon, and because the circular board makes the game equal fun for two, three or four, it's a good investment for family fun, Hi-ro is another easy-to-learn newcomer that’s played with individual trays of numbered blocks. Treasure hunt is a best-selling, fast-moving game which any number of people, from two to 16, may play. Although the ’teen-age contingent may feel very conscious of their new sophistication, you can count on their enthusiasm for parlor sports that call for action. Folding bowling alleys, varying from six feet to two feet, are 1940 favorites. Some of these have a devise setting up the pins. A new set of ski ball folds away neatly in a suitcase. Dart boards are using card faces, big -game animals, golf courses, baseball, ducks and airplanes as the basis of marksmanship competition. Guns that shoot rubber bands and suction cap darts are used with many of these. 2 o ” FF boys with hobbies, consider the de luxe airplane building sets. Every type of plane in the United States has been used for an airplane construction kit. Boat building and model train construction kits and carpentry tools are basic hobby favorites for father and son play. 'Teen-age daughters will like electric woodburning sets or one of the new bead looms that makes charm jewelry and coasters. Glass painting, metal tapping kits and tapestry looms are handcraft hobbies that are both fun and prac-

tical.

The junior sewing machines with real electric motors are news. With one of these, the 13-year-old | can make clothes for the members | of her younger sister's doll family | as well as clothes for herself. |

Toasters Getting More Human! |

Automatic toasters are getting] more human every year. The Superior ‘“Toastrite” is fully automatic, | toast pops up when done, current shuts off when both slices are] toasted on both sides at the same time. An adjutsable control knob permits of toast just as you like it, and a removable crumb tray makes the toaster easy to clean.

For the Kitchen

An inexpensive novelty is the combination cake breaker, pie cutter and server. It cuts and serves the softest cakes or hardest icings without any crumbling or breaking. The cutter is made with stainless steel blade, mounted in a colorful

plastic handle.

Quite a “grown-up” project for any young boy is building a realis-

tic, workable lift-bridge like that

set makes a great Christmas present for young engineers. Among other things it will build is a parachute jump, complete with little ’chutes that float down from the tower,

Nothing gives a ‘teen-age girl that “growing up” feeling as well as

this miniature, but highly efficient, sewing machine. This one runs by electricity, as well as by hand, and is so practical that mother

will borrow it occasionally,

War Toys for | Little People From England

Electrical Maps Fascinating Novelties

If you want to please the youngsters, show them the new war toys. From England now, instead of Germany, come many new toys, games,

some of the most popular being

little tanks, anti-aircraft guns, ambulances, toy soldiers. The war spirit is reflected also

in the names of many of the new

box games. Dog-Fight will appeal to youngsters interested in airplanes. It's a contest between planes moved about on a vertical board.

Electric Teakettle Now on Market

An automatic electric teakettle will be welcome in many homes. Its outstanding feature is that the connection plug is automatically ejected whenever the water boils too low for safety. The plug cannot be put back until the heating unit has cooled to a safe temperature. The kettle is fine for quickly heating baby’s milk, for use in the sickroom, on trips, and in dis-

tricts where only electricity is available.

Clean Laundry Assured

One of the assurances of absolutely clean laundry is using the right amount of soap. Too little just won't take out the dirt; too much is extravagant. For washing machine use, start with a cupful of soap for each load. Agitate until the soap is dissolved and approximately three inches of suds appear on the top, or until the water has a thick, soapy feel, adding more soap if necessary. If the clothes are not too soiled, the same wash water may be used for two or three loads, but in this case add more soap after each load so that the-suds remain active. Most washing machines accommodate from six to eight pounds of dry clothes per load. Rinse thoroughly

along a list of names on the left side of the map to some selected name. The player touches a pointer to what he thinks is the state indicated by the metal guide. If right, a light flashes, if wrong; no light. A series of counters used for forfeits adds to the competitive spirit of the game.

Smart Looking Lamp

If the youngster likes to work with tools or likes to study he'll enjoy the “Sunbird,” a smart-looking desk lamp with round plastic base and polished reflector. This product can also be used as a wall lamp. If he’s clothes-conscious, he'll be proud of the new Pliaglass belts,
