Exactly what to buy your best
fellow or girl for Christmas often
is quite a problem., And so you
won’t Wave to do any las,t minute,
frantic worrying, we compiled a
list that might help you.
Say the Fellas:
11..l 1 .. Neckties! ’Specially hand
painted or hand knit ones. Dion t
recommend bow ties. Chief com
plaint about ties girls pick out —
“too conservative.”
2. Shaving lotion kit a GI-is
sued ones are beginning to wear
out. .
3. It’s a little late to start now,
bu|t hand knitted socks. In plain
colors, yellow and then red, are
favorites; angyles top the list.
4. Just a tactful reminder. The
fellows say they don’t like girls
to pick out their pipes. There’s
too much of a (.selection for them
to know what kind they'd' like.
5. Last minute resorts named:
carton of cigarettes, subscription
to “Superman Comics,” can of
striped'paint, and a ’46 convert
ible.
Say the Gbls:
It. Always perfume. To be more
specific, “Tigress,” “Chanel No. 5,”
and “Tweed” were suggested.
2. “No girl can get too many
fraternity pins,” one . sorority
prexy suggested. .
3. Angora mittens, leather
bound date book, band: painted
biouse, toy animal (the bigger the
better), hair dips with the College
seal, and hand painted earrings
were other suggestions from th e
women.
