It is the special touch by you that adds pleasure to every gift you
?<ve. Everyone likes the new, the unusual and it is the exciting
oods packed in their visible glass containers that make the perfect
Christmas gifts. Select foods that will intrigue the receiver. For
instance, bottles of exotic salad dressings, almond stuffed olives,
capers, rolled anchovies, and a jar of artichoke hearts are a few
ideas to arrange in a gift basket for the man who specializes in
salads. For the snack server, there are exciting cocktail tid-bits,
and unusual spreads, packed in sparkling glass containers. And for
a favorite aunt, jars of honey and jellies make handsome displays
when tied with a bright Christmas-colored ribbon.

Life Size Plastic Toys
Delight The Toddler
All’s ducky with this toddler and her new, stronger styrene plastic
pull toy. This is one pf a series of life-sire playthings sure to coax
seasoned Christmas shoppers to "string along.* Besides this saucy
duck which flaps its wings and quacks, the series includes Maiy s
little lamb which bleats as it moves its head and tail, and a dancing
"circus” elephant. .... . . . ..
Dolls, too, have grown up. A little girl can choose her favonto
television or storybook character in life-like vinyl plastic and
"authentic" costume. Boys prefer the super size aircraft carriers,
auto transports and Navy planes. They are authentic in scale and
made of unbreakable polyethylene plastic. The playpen set will
delight in squeezing and cuddling toys made of durable polyethylene
er soft vinyl plastic. Both types take countless tumbles without
complaint.
Pomanders For Christmas Gifts
- jk .. ■■ mm m
Squeeze your Florida oranges every day for delicious vitamin-C
rich juice but save a few for pomanders — they’re fine Christmas
gifts that you can make yourself. Even in the days of ‘‘good Queen
Bess" pomanders were “efficacious in keeping away musty scents”
from closets and linen shelves. Make them now for their fragrance
is best a few weeks after they are made.
Select thin-skinned oranges (easiest to stick cloves into), or
grapefruit for bigger pomanders, and follow these directions. If
you prefer, you can make your own scents from different spice
combinations. s'
FLORIDA POMANDER
1 Florida oranges Powdered orris root
Whole cloves Ground cinnamon
Select firm oranges for making pomanders. With fork tines,
make rows of holes in the skin. Stick whole cloves into the holes
until the rind is completely covered. Roll orange in a mixture of
equal parts of orris root and ground cinnamon. Pat in as much of
the powdered mixture as will adhere to the orange. Wrap the
pomander in tissue paper or other soft paper for several weeks.
Remove the paper, shake off any loose powder, and the pomander
is ready for use in drawers or on linen shelves.
To hang in a closet, crochet a loose circular cradle, or aimply tie
the pomander with a piece of ribbon, ending in a loop.

Now It's Jazz On Scarves
_ _ - -
I
HOT tunes, cool rhythms, tweet keyboard, all the instrument* of the
orchestra, and all the tongs in record albums have been captured
by scarf designer Vera on a series of mid-winter fashion accessories.
Shown on the wail, is Keyboard; next to it. Orchestra; half-hidden by
the pretty jazz fan, is Record Album.
She is wearing an Orchestra herself. Scarves are silk, hand-screen
printed; six color choices in each; all have hand-rolled hems. Smallest,
not shown is Jazz Concert, a little 18-inch beauty to add to a blouse or
dress. Fun to wear. The newest idea is Wear Your Hobby, don't leave*
It at home. fNS
One of the biggest troubles with
success is that its recipe is often
the same as that for a nervous
breakdown.
Trim Yourself at Christmas!
A festive eggnog bowl is as traditionally Christmas as trimming
the tree. You’ll be even gayer knowing that you can enjoy both —
and without the high-calorie penalty you’ve paid in the past for
eggnog nips — by following the low-calorie recipe below for your
Christmas bowl. Non-fat milk and saccharin’s tasty sweetness
without calories will help you trim your figure while you trim
your treel
They are economical, too. Saccharin, you know, is 400 times
sweeter than sugar — goes much farther so it costs much less in
giving you sweetness without a single calorie.
Let stand in a bowl or 1 12 saccharin tablets (14 grain)
blender until dissolved ) in 6 cups water
16 eggs
18 a s'*1 ^
3 tsp. vanilla
Cover and chill. Serves 6. #
There are 1C1 calories in each 8-oz. serving. Whisker ;r mm may
be added to taste. However, each jigger (114 oz.) of domestic
v ’ ‘ ’-v or rum contains 120-150 additional calories.
