Christmas Shopper Find Gifts that are Practical and. Attractive There are SO many things to commend a practical gift. Its usefulness serves as a pleasant reminder of the giver for many seasons and it carries a message of real thoughtfulness in selection. Mr. and Mrs. Shopper had decided that gifts of this sort would figure largely on their list. It seemed foolish to spend a lot of money on something that would be enjoyed a short while and then thrown aside when the same sum could be used in buying something really useful and enjoyable as well. A Radio Gives Great Pleasure The family had talked over the problem of what to give Mr. Shopper's father and mother very thoroughly and had decided that all the brothers and sisters would contribute to the purchase of a really fine radio Both of the old people loved music and cared for nothing more than quiet thing at home beside their fire. The radio would furnish enter tainment and pleasure for many years and contribute much to their enjoyment of life. Mr Shopper's father was interested in public affairs and the radio would bring him all the news events and outstanding speech es of the day. Mr Shopper's mother liked to listen to old familiar hymns and melodies. These would come to her in their most attractiv form through the radio. So Mr. and Mrs. Shopper went the radio store they had selected as the best source for their selection and met the rest of the family. The dealer showed them several models. Many in handsome carved cabinets that would be a most attractive addition to the home. They were told the merits of the various models; heard some music-which appropriately enough, was a broadcast of Christmas carols Then decided on a handsome radio in a black walnut cabinet of fine de sign. The dealer promised to deliver it Christmas eve while the old people were out-then Christmas day when all the family joined them their home, they could enjoy the Christmas melodies together Luggage Is Practical After the family had separated Mr and Mrs. Shopper went to a luggag shop to choose a fitted case for Mrs Shopper's sister who traveled a grea deal. They found a handsome one grained leather lined in purple silk with compartments for toilet articles These were included with the casea simple smart design in amber color. Mrs. Shopper marveled at the space the case afforded. It was big enough to everything necessary for week end trip and in addition held the toilet articles. While they were there they chose a soft pin seal bill fold with gold corners for Uncle George A zipper bag for Mrs Shopper's mother and a cigarette case large enough to hold a full pack of cigarettes for Mr. Shopper's brother Bill There were many other articles in the shop that would have been a: tractive and appropriate for gifts Swagger bags of pigskin, compact wardrobe trunks that would have beer a marvelous present for a girl start ing off to college. Hand bags of tooled leather. soft and harmoniot in color and design that Mrs. Shop pre could hardly resist them. Pewter is Very Smart From the luggage shop the gift seekers hurried to a jeweler's Th afternoon was growing to a close and the lights of the shops, half-veiled in the softly falling snow made cheerful setting for their quest. Ev had been. erywhere the spirit of Christmas abroad. People seemed happier-the very air was charged with exhilirat ing cheer. In the jeweler's shop the countles lovely objects silver and pewter and jewels reflected the light and added their bit to the festive spirit of the occasion. Mrs Shopper wanted look at pewter She had it used on the tables of her friends, had read of its chic and distinction in many magazines and recognized its beauty It seemed to her that a of pewter would be the very wises choice for a for her sister was particularly fond of this war already number of for her table Designs New and Smart The jeweler showed them a well and platter of simple graceful design. Then a covered vegetable dish with a delicately fitted border The advantage of this piece was that it could be used as one dish or the two pieces might serve as separate dishes. Then there was a water pitchsimple and distinguished. All of the pewter was simple in design, but that was suitable to the ware and to the line tradition that early workers in this metal had established. At last it was decided to choose a cream pitcher and sugar bowl with grace. ful curved handles and the same flut edges that had appeared on the vegetable dish. The satisfactory and surprising thing about the ware was it was so cheap. Mrs. Christmas Shopper decided that she would buy for herself when the rush of holidays was over Candlesticks are Selected Next they looked at silver candle sticks for Aunt Harriet. They must be unusually fine in pattern for Aunt Harriet had exquisite taste and ev erything that she owned was lovely A pair of tall candlesticks with en graved bands at the top and bottom was selected. They would blend per fectly with her silver. Mrs Shopper couldn't resist look ing around a bit at all the other attractive articles. There was a mar velous coffee service, rather elaborate in design and with it was a silver the stars! tray, engraved and embossed in a matching pattern. It was beautiful but quite expensive. But Mrs. Shopper reflected on the joy it would bring to whoever might be fortunate enough to own it. There were smart cigarette cases of hammered silver with ash trays to match. Stunning book ends of polished marble in the form of crouching lions. Bits of cloisonne whose bright colors caught the glow of the lights and reflected them back in rich shades. But finaly they must hurry away for there were still many other gifts to choose. Gifts for the Sportsman Uncle Bob had said that his tennis racket was on its last legs, Mr. Shopper remembered. So it was his intention to give him a new one for Christmas. So their next port of call was a shop where sporting goods were sold This proved a far more fascinating spot for Mr. Shopper than for Mrs. Shopper, though she found some golf clubs there that would aid her game decidedly. The tennis racket was quickly chosen but Mr. Shopper lingered over the counter where fishermen's equipment was displayed. He reveled in the gayly colored flies, the supple rods, and promised himself that he would make a visit to this shop in the early spring and fill out the blank spots in his own kit. In the Hardware Store It is amazing what a fruitful source of gift suggestion a hardware store can be. There were counters of electrical fittings. Among them a the percolator for making French peal. drip coffee. It was beautiful and bright and would be a charming addition to any table. Besides the fun of watching the preparation of the aro matic coffee. It consisted of two glass globes at tached to a metal standard and looked very tricky, but the salesman explained how easy it was to operate and before they knew it, Mr. and Mrs Shopper had decided to buy one fo: Mrs. Shoppers mother. She loved a good cup of coffee, and coffee made in this percolator was beyond compare, as Mrs. Shopper knew from experience. One of her friends had served it at her last luncheon and Mrs. Shopper had never forgotten how fresh and delightful the coffee A Movie Camera This was the time to buy movie amera. The Shoppers had wanted one for a long time and now they decided to choose it as a sort of family gift. They could begin taking pietures this very Christmas and keep its memory fresh always The salesman in the shop where they lected it explained its operation sold them films enough to take al reels. This was a really worth while investment both agreed.
