‘Action Gifts,” That's What the "Ti ven-Agers Crave]

And the Idea Can Be i. Carried Out in Toys Or Clothing.

THE COMING BUMPER CHRISTMAS of 1941 is really going to put a gleam of excitement in young America’s eyes.; And into the eyes of parents and: friends with - |lively adolescent youngsters to shop for. . “Teen-age youngsters like most to “do” things. They're at the active age, they want paraphernalia for action « sport, dancing, lively games. And they love anything that makes them feel that they are already “grown ups.” This year stores are stocked more bewilderingly richly than ever before—with things for ‘teen-agers. How to choose! There’s a simple key. First, get one “Don’t” in the front of your mind. DON'T buy something that| you would have liked when you were his or her age. Twenty years can make a huge difference in the tastes of 14-year-olds. So listen to the youngster, watch and see what elates him or her now, and play up to that. Typical of the principal fo go on is the hour’s best-selling kind of gift for both boy and girl—playclothes. They outfit the youngster for fun, and they keep him warm at school also. For boys, there are leather jackets—snug woolen lumberjackets; lightweight, but warm, cotton windbreakers. For girls, skating and snow clothes are styled and sturdy enough for a party, or simple enough for the classroom. And they're gay! ” 2 ”

Be a Hero—Give Hosiery

The knight of yore went riding in quest of rare trophies to bring his lady fair. The Christmas<knight of 1941 will appear as a conquering hero when he lays at his lady’s feet one of the year’s most precious gifts: Silk hosiery! A Weighty world affairs have resulted in shortage of silk for consumer goods: So that the gift of two or more pairs of fine silk stockings, gaily boxed, will convey all the sense of luxury, catering thoughtfulness and good wishes a man can hear thrilled thanks for at Christmas time.

Not limited to silk stockings, the -Christmas giver may decide on long-wearing nylons which appear in new, more flattering colors than have been available up to now. Suitable for daytime wear from business to sports (brighthudd wools if she skis and skates)—there are lisles and cotton meshes in |sheer, leg-slimming weaves. A particularly well-planned gift would be a hosiery wardrobe: Wool for active sports, lisles for casual daytime; nylons for more dress-up occasions; and exquisite silks for party nights.
