STOCKING STUFFER
Deck her out with the best stocking stuffer to come along
since little brown walnuts sunglasses for all seasons. Time
was when sunglasses were strictly a summer thing, but no
more. Now they’re as indispensable in snow country as on
summer’s sandy strands. And they’d fill a “his” stocking as
perfectly as a “hers”. This “her” is fetching in Temptress, a
SUNVOGUES® Sunglass style from American Optical
Corporation, but there’s a shape and shade to suit everyone on
your Christmas list with the sort of gift that says, “You’re
special.”
and share its peace and
r\ tranquility with our many friends.

GIFT-GIVING AROUND THE WORLD
Gift-giving is as univer
sal as breathing and as old as
the first cave party. Lovers,
in-laws and business asso
ciates have been receiving
tokens large and small down
the centuries and around the
globe.
The exchange of presents
was one of the earliest meth
ods of doing business. Friend
lier and more flexible than
sale or barter, gift-giving elim
inated crass dickering be
tween armor-maker and hot
cross-bun baker, encouraging
each to be generous. Aztecs
% -tt f /> *£■
and Incas, Chinese Mandarins
and medieval manor-dwellers
all lived by the gifts they gave
and got.
To this day, the Maori
tribesmen of New Zealand al
low no bargaining to mar
their genteel swaps. Some
South Sea Islanders trade by
flinging birds and cloth at
each other’s feet, meanwhile
chanting apologies for the
paltry “Present.”
Even love sometimes suc
cumbs to this “trade and aid”
method of exchanging gifts.
In the Trobriand Islands, a
bridegroom can return his
bride and get his coconuts
back if her family hasn’t con
tributed enough puddings and
handwoven napkins.
Americans today, at any
time of the year, give a wide
variety of gifts from appli
ances to apparel, from bowl
ing balls to beauty equip
ment. One particularly
popular gift item this year has
been the new Lady Reming
ton™ Steam Rollers'™
which free the beauty-con
scious woman from uncom
fortable overnight curlers.
They give hair professional
curls in just five minutes.
There’s magic in the steam
that high energy heat that
transforms limp tresses into
springy 48-hour curls.
You may have to give a
little thought to the perfect
present, but if you think you
have gift-giving problems,
contemplate the plight of the
Fiji Islander: during a certain
season of the year, he’s for
bidden to refuse his neighbors
anything.
Advance
your career.

Holiday Is Favorite
Theme for Writers
Whenever the talk turns to
Christmas books and stories,
somebody’s sure to mention
Charles Dickens.
IDs "Christmas Carol,”
published in 1843, is syno
nymous with holiday convi
viality, and its underlying
theme stresses the spiritual
truths and blessings of Die
Nativity.
"God bless us, every one,”
cried Tiny Tim Cratchit, and
the cry still echoes.
While Dickens may be a
word for Christmas, many an
other author has written of
this religious festival and
merry feast.
Among the best known ex
amples may be scenes from
children’s literature.
Louisa May Alcott’s "little
Women,” published 1868, may
seem old-fashioned in some
ways, but girls today still re
joice in the story of Meg, Jo,
Beth and Amy.
These fictional heroines
come to life for their readers,
and never more so than in
the Christmas-season story
that opens the book, when
the March family gave up a
festive breakfast for a poor
family.

"POCKET PAL"
FOR 1972,
While they breakfasted on
bread and milk, the girls felt
they truly feasted, for they
knew the joy of sharing.
Another old favorite is Kate
Douglas Wiggin’s "The Birds’
Christmas Carol,” of 1887.
Though better known as the
author of "Rebecca ofSunny
brook Farm,” she wrote this
brief but touching story of the
Birds’ invalid child, whose
short life exemplified the
principles of Christmas.
In the present day, the
American author Truman Ca
pote, who claims the inven
tion of a new literary form,
the non-fiction novel, has
written of Christmas, too.
His "A Christmas Mem
ory,” a short story, appeared
as a television drama in 1966.

May the joy of the Holy Night be with you this
Christmas, bringing warm contentment and true
happiness to you and yours. We hope that the
spirit of this blessed day will fill your hearts with
inspiration. Let us hope that the true meaning
of Christmas will be revived, that there will be
peace on earth, good will to men.
