That la the question that Is agitating the hearts of halt the young women In the country these days. A great many girls have written asking my kdvlce on the subject. It Is Impossible to answer all their letters, but perhaps this article may give them a tew suggestions. In the first place, the' whole value of a present lies In Its suitability. There Ik no sense in giving a book to a man who never reads, nor a tobacco pouch to a man who does not smoke. It is bad taste t« spend a great dept ot money on a present to a man whom you know but slightly. In fact, It If foolish to give a man a present at all unless you know him well. If a man takes pride In making his room pretty and artistic you can al ways give him something to add to It. A picture, a cushion, a pipe tray, or any of the .thousand and one little trifles.that the shops are full of. If you are'Sklljful with your needle and have a good pattern, a* pretty necktie Is always a nice gift. Neck mufflers and gloves are useful and acceptable, especially the fur-lined gloves that one sees so many of now adays. If your friend la of a studious turn of mind hirChrlatma* present Is very easily decided upon, as the shops are. full of books that are both delightful and cheap. Don't let your gift be of too friendly ar.d Informal a nature unless you are engaged la s man. For Instance, a shaving set Would not do At all for any but a relative or a flance. Remember that a man will be apt to .Judge a girl by the kind of a gift she sends him. If It Is extravsganLor In poor taste he cannot help thinking the less of her for sending It. A gift that shows discrimination and friendly thought will always -be appreciated. - If you are engaged to the man a set of brushes will be a nice gift, or half a dozen handkerchiefs with ills Initials embroidered on them. A leather card eaae. a bill folder, a bat brush, match box or stamp box will make a suitable and Inexpensive gift. A fountain pen or a silver lead- pencil will also be gratefully received by the average man. If you know a man but slightly and yet wish to send him the season's greetings, a pretty card or calendar will be quite sufficient. Don't spend more than you can afford to on your presents. Remember that It Is the spirit, not the value of the gift tjmt counta. Chdose your gifts wisely wltli a view to their usefulness as well as beau ty, and remember not to spend so much on a man as to niuke him feel un comfortable add under an obligation to you.
