For Every Feminine

Name on Your List * .

CERNE

That Fit in With Her Hobby =

Now "THAT SANTA CLAUS. has Junior’s conscience’ pretty well

occupied, start watching Mother’s -veracity.

For thie feminine head of

the family is likely to begin telling little white lies these days, when

it eo es to a matter of what she

wants for Christmas.-

en Junior says firmly, “I want a little shotgun that goes bang,” you Whe ‘be fairly sure he wants a gun. And when Father champs on his old pipe and complains that; the mouthpiece is ‘nearly’ through, signs point to his desire for a new pipe. °

But . when mother looks at thei worn rug and remarks that a ricn new rug is her idea of a fine Christmas present, don’t take her too literally, The - rug undoubtedly would be an idegl present for the whole family, but the chances are that mother would rather have something for herself alone, no matter how small the gift is. There is nothing that would please her more than a gift that recognizes her own particular hobby and provides her ‘with more scope to practice it. The local stores - have ideas for gifts that

{| might: encourage her hobby as

much as she has urged her daughters - to take' singing lessons and her sons to build ship models. Maybe her special interest is music... The family could enlarge that interest from an occasional attendance at" concerts to an absorbing hobby by giving her a record - attachment for the family radio. Wasson’s has a special value at about $10 which includes record player, en album of symphonic records, a supply of needles, a music anthology and a handsome gift case, If the family already has a phonograph, which the young people monopolize for swing recordings, you might give mother a stake in it with gifts of separate records. Mos; Victor records are on sale now at Pearson’s, Ayres’, Wasson'’s

and other stores, with such items|

as « Sibelius’ Fifth Symphony, Tschaikowsky’s “Fomeo and Juliet” overture and ‘an album of Victor Herbert melodies. at about half the usual price. And while you're away at school or-work, you can picture mother at home doing the housework fio a Strauss waltz—or maybe just resting ‘to listen. : 8. in. 8

IF YOU SHCULD HAPPEN to stop ia Ayres’ book store, you might not be able to leave without buying one of the host of hobby volumes. For the same music lover there are several books on the opera or Deems Taylor's “The Well Tempered. Listener” for $2.50. For the woman interested In art, there are beautiful gift volumes showing prints ‘of Cezanne’s paintings or Michaelangelo’s sculpture—to name extremes in the art world. And each costs: only $3. Mary .Davis. Gillies’ “Popular Home Decoration” is another large illustrated book with fine binding and make-up that would make a perfect gift if, after all, your mother’s first love is her home. For about $3 it contains a wealth of ides on the principles of good taste in the home and the refurbishing of old-fashioned rooms. Then there's a volume called “Thoughts for Food,” which is more then just a cook book, since it has unusual menu ideas and party plans. woman who is active in club work would appreciate .a book -on

“Public ‘Speaking Today,” which Ayres’ is selling for $2.75. Ang if your mother ‘is scheduled to review Willa Cather’s ‘newest book, “Sapphira and the Slave Girl,” or Bertita Harding's “Hungarian Rhapsody” at the meeting of her literary club next month, why not save her the trouble of dickering with the library and surprise her with a copy of the book in “question for Christmas? Another book, a collectors’ item for the woman who is interested in consumers’ problems, is a $3 volume by A. Hyatt Verrill on “Perfumes and Spices,” which also analyzes soaps and cosmetics in addition to telling the story of perfume manufacture. The gift you would never think of in 10 years has been duly thought of by Wasson’s and offered for sale in thejr gift shop. It is a personal-| ized set of 8 table mats, nearly one hundred table and cocktail napkins and 24 coasters, all made of finegrained white tissue, bordered in blue or red floral designs and em~ bossed with three initials. If the mother of your: family is entertaining a lot during the holidays or later in the winter, you couldn’t find a nicer gift for the 2 it costs.

THE GARDEN ENTHUSIAST might forget all about begging friend husband to come away from his golfing and help her with ‘her flowers—if he would bribe her with her own set of small garden tools, a trowel and a miniaturé fork, rake and hoe. For $2.50, Ayres’ will provide this present and add a book of- gardening hints. Then if the rest of the family would co-operate with a gardening outfit of sturdy denim, with big pockets, and a floppy sun hat gleaned from Block’s collection of resort clothes—all this for $10 up—undoubtedly the flowers that bloom in your garden would be lovelier than ever. If the person you're worrying about for Christmas has only recently learned to answer to “Mother” instead of Jane or Mary, she probably still goes in for ice skating or skiing. For her, then, Strauss’ has a red and white skating outfit, with a quilted jacket and little hood for about $17—and others for winter sports beginning at $10.98. Even if the above is utterly meaningless to you, since Mother’s allotment of family Christmas money just has to go on a set of furniture or a new refrigerator, show her she’s the most popular member of the family by ordering a corsage of her favorite roses at the Aorist’s shop around: the corner—to be de-

official safety program which would

‘|save these taxpayers many times

the amount in accident losses. The meeting, ‘which ' opened at 10° o'clock, and ‘was ‘attended by district and county legislative chairmen, . state vice chairmen, state officials and members of the Club Federation, was. called to consider the Federation’s' legislative program for the coming General Assembly, Also appearing on. the program this morning was Mrs. Perry W. Lesh, chairman .of the Indiana Citizens Committee on Child .- Welfare Legislation. She discussed a proposed hill for an act: concerning Juvenile Courts, and pointed out that the present law covering juvenile courts was. passed in 1903 when such ‘courts andthe juvenile court movement were in the pioneer stage. The proposed bill would extend the jurisdiction of juvenile courts to include children to. the age of 18 years in delinquency, dependency and neglect cases. Other provisions of . the. bill . include . Juvenile court Jurisdiction in adoption matters, ‘exclusive jurisdiction in paternity cases and support and disposition of children born, out of wedlock and criminal jurisdiction over adults neglecting ‘children or contributing to their delinquency. Mrs. Walter S. Greenough, temporary chairman of the Indiana Merit System Association, spoke on “Indians Needs @ Merit System.” Mrs. Maurice - B. Eppert, safety chairman for the Federation, this morning urged women of the Fed-

road Adjustment Board protesting a recent ruling: of its First Division restoring seniority rights to a locomotive engineer dismissed for reporting to work while intoxicates. “This ruling,” Mrs, Eppert said, ‘“‘seriously threatens the splendid safety records which all railroads have maintained over a period of many years. Drunken driving by a railroad engineer should not be countenanced . any more than the acceptance of drunken driving on our streets and highways, and an aroused ‘public sentiment should vigorously protest such an action.”

Prof. Efroymson to Speak

Prof. C. W. Efroymson of Butler University and chairman of the Indiana Home Rule Commission appointed by the Governor, was to discuss “The Proposed .Constitutional Amendment for Home Rule in Indiana Cities and Towns” this afternoon. The proposed amendment, the outgrowth of a joint resolution of the 1939 General Assembly, would provide authority for adoption by charter of any form of government ‘(manager or mayorcouncil type) ‘which cities or towns choose. Prof: Efroymson was to emphasize that it is not the form of municipal government which insures good government but the activity of an. alert and intelligent citizenry. “The Recodification ‘of Indiana Health Laws” was to be the subject of a speech by Dr. John W. Ferree, State Health Board secretary. } In addition to merit, safety, child welfare, home rule and health laws, the Federation's legislative program for the coming General Assembly will include backing of local option laws on liquor sales and an antisteel trap law if one is offered at the session. The Federation backing of a local option law is covered by a resolution approyed last: spring. Mrs. Charles H. Smith, legislation
