Fashion Report: It's Child’s P|py al ™fSp JUMBrr , m Holiday hair styles for the under-ten set are running the fashion gamut from curly and swirly to straight and sassy. But from the tips of their mary janes to the tops of their hair bows, little girls still need easy-to-care-for practicality as well as style. A visit to mother’s favorite hair stylist for a good cut is a pre-Christmas must. Then, if the hair is overly limp, straight, or fine, a light body permanent will give extra shape and manageability to it. For a perky, graceful long hair style, brush the hair away from the face <md to the back of the ears. Gather at the top of the crown and attach a fresh red or green bow for a particularly festive Christmas look. For a pert and saucy style divide the hair in two parts at the back. Gather each part together and bring forward over the ears. Make big, plump curls to hang prettily down the sides of the face. Short hair is always in style, and the new “no set” look is particularly appropriate for little girls. Just wash the hair as usual, then brush it dry while using a hand dryer on it. For longer hair the new Belle Epoque look is grand for really festive occasions such as Christmas dinner. Brush the hair on top of the head, gathering the ends and forming them into a topknot. Then use the end of a comb to pull out strands of hair forming them into graceful tendrils around the forehead and sides. Do remember, however, that the young miss will probably be actively involved in all kinds of sports and games, so the simpler the hair style the better. Keep the more ornate styles for mother or older sister.

When Families Gather, It’s Christmas

Through I the years, the ways of celebrating Christmas havp' taken on many different/forms. Today’s Christmas tree is apt to be plastic or aluminum, rather than nature’s own fir, spruce or pine. The glow of tiny beeswax candles on a tree is only a memory, replaced now by strings of twinkling electric lights. Jolly Santa, once transported only by reindeerdrawn sleigh, may now arrive by helicopter or jet plane. But in spite of changes, the essence of the season, the basic spirit of Christmas, stays the same. Christmastide is, above all, a time for togetherness and rejoicing. And a modern Christmas, just like an oldfashioned Christmas, calls for gatherings of family and friends, with much merriment, fun and feasting. Right now in this community, families are celebrating the holiday with just such gatherings, such merriment, fun and feasting. Like families of yesteryear, they celebrate with gifts and greens, with the warmth of a glowing hearth and the gleam of a lighted tree, with stockings hung by the chimney with care and even with candles, though these beckon brightly from candleholders rather than from the tree. All these ways of celebrating are part of the legend and lore of Christmas. Exchanging Gifts Exchanging gifts at Christmas is one of the most timehonored of customs, and toys, dolls and games for the children have always ranked high on the gifts list. In the not-so-long-ago, however, just one important present —a doll for a little girl, perhaps, and a toy accordion for her brother —was all that youngsters might expect at Christmas. Though Santa is more bountiful nowadays, the gifts he brings are like those of yesteryear in at least one way. They reflect the interests and fashions of their times. • Dolls, yesterday and today, dress in the favorite styles of the moment. Toys, too, show the influence of current events. Toy racing cars, for instance, came in with the automobile, while today more complex types of wheel toys take advantage of modern technological developments. Using Greens Use of greens and garlands to decorate for a festive season goes back a thousand years before the birth of Christ. The custom began with the ancient Egyptians. Many of the traditions of pagan festivals were later merged with the celebration of Christmas, and evergreens, because they stay green throughout the year, came to

be regarded as the Christmas symbol of eternal life. Decorating the Tree Many ancient legends associate trees with Christmas. One is that on the first Holy Night, all the trees of the forest blossomed and bore fruit. The idea of adorning the Christmas tree with ornaments may have started with an attempt to create the effect of snow on the branches. Strings of popcorn and tufts of cotton were used. Lighting the Tree Martin Luther started the custom of lighting the tree, legend says. To symbolize stars glowing forth on a snow-filled winter’s night, he placed lighted candles on his family’s traditional Christmas tree. Burning the Log Today’s fireplaces, though smaller in scale than those of yesteryear, symbolize at Christmas the age-old custom of burning the log. The Yule log was adapted to Christmas celebrations from the Scandinavian practice of building huge bonfires at the winter solstice. Fire represented the spring sun, soon to return. Hanging Stockings St. Nicholas, so legend says, secretly gave gifts of gold for the dowries of poor spinsters. He tossed the gold down a chimney on Christmas Eve, and on one occasion the gift landed in a stocking hung by the fireplace to dry. A tangerine or an orange in the toe of a stocking has come to be symbolic of the gifts of gold.

fact there seems to be no end to the many different ways of dishing it up. Rutabagas can also be combined very successfully with other vegetables and fruits to add variety.

So weight watchers can safely dig in with relish and ask for extra helpings. Not a thing to worry about!
