WHAT TO GIVE HIM
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
W HAT ahall I give him for Christmas?
That la the question that Is agitating the hearts of half tha young
women In the country these days.
A great man/ girls hare written asking my advice on the subject It
Is Impossible to answer all their letters, but perhaps this article may give
them a few suggestions.
In the first place, the whole value of a present lies In Its suitability.
There la no sense In glvlpg a book to a man who never reads, nor a
tobacco pouch to a man who does not smoke.
It Is bad taste to spend a great deal of money on a present to a man
whom you know but slightly. In fact. It Is foolish to give a man a present
at all unless you know him well.
Jf a man takes pride Jn making bis room pretty and artistic you ran 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 skillful 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 Is of a studious turn of mind hts Christmas 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 friehdly ar.d Informal a nature unless you
are engaged to a tiyrn. For Instance, a shaving set would not do at all for
any but a relative or a fiance..
Remember that a man will be apt to judge a girl by the kind of a gift
she sends him. If it Is extravagant or In poor taste he cannot help thinking
the lees of her for sending It.
A gift that sh/ws discrimination and friendly thought will always be
appreciated.
If you are engaged to the mrfn a set of brushes will be. a nice gift, or
lintf a dozen handkerchiefs with his Initials embroidered oh them. ~
A leather card case, a bill folder, a hat brush, match box or stamp box
will mnke 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 that counts.
Choose your gifts wisely with a view to their usefulness as well as beau
ty, and remember not to spend so much on a man as to males him feel un-
.comfortable and under an obligation to you. •
