Gift Problem Time Is Here Again
By ADDIE WINNICK
Boy, have you got a problem!!!
What with bank book low and a
big weekend upon us to make it
even lower, what will we do for
Christmas???
Most of us, after chewing pen
cils, wracking brains, and again
looking at that bank book trying
to concoct a Christmas list, feel
we need expert advice.
Why not dare to be different if
you wish . . . but be appropriate
and practical as well. This is the
time of year when compacts, lip
sticks, perfume, 'stockings, jewel
ry, or gloves seem at first to be
the only answers. Yet, there -are
many budget conscious, style-wise
items which can fill the bill and
the stockings too.
There are gifts which are both
flashy and practical. For instance,
red flannel pajamas Dr. Den
ham 'style.
Little - girls hate the big girls'
latest style of knee-socks. Not too
flattering a gift but very practical
especially for Penn State weather.

For Mom let's make it feminine,
