P r e s ents to sorority sisters may range all the way from a childish toy animal to crest ed jewelry. For an active mem ber there can hardly be a more treasured gift than a crested mother-of-pearl locket or an onyx ring. Compacts and cigarette cacs are available in all sorts of metal with large or small crests, while more unusual are the soft feminine billfolds with innumerable pockets and divisions. Gifts' for all types of girls may be chosen from such a selection. Increasing rapidly in popularity is the giving of silver to one cf your many friends with marriage looming ahead. It involves little shopping once you know her pat tern and is certainly a gift carry ing lasting appreciation. A sharp change from crested articles or silver would be the selecting of a soft, fuzzy, pink teddy-bear or one of the very newest spotted leo pards to recline on your bed in catlike grandeur. Large or small, these comical, hugable creatures often satisfy more than anything practicpl. For girls who collect them, or vho don't, they offer nn easy solu' on to your Christmas shopping. If these suggestions fail to satisfy, you will just have to ex plore downtown. You may run into me as I feel like taking my own advice and going shopping for the Bisters.
