Faith, hope and charity are a part of the Christmas spirit, but it is aids to beauty that interest the girls when Christmas gifts are concerned. This is evidenced by the multitude of uniformed men, perplexed looks on their faces, who group about the feminine apparel counters of all downtown stores. In case some of the boys are still in a fog about what to buy the "one and only," here are a few suggestions. Due to the lack of metal this year, plastic and wooden compacts are being shown. A wooden case with inlaid top of turquoise and coral, or a cradle shaped colorless lucite one would be sure to make a hit. In the same line, matched billfolds and cig arette cases for evening made of embroidered metallic cloth are very much in vogue. Then too, reversible velvet evening mittens in black and white are a favorite. Birds for the Hair. For the girl who likes to wear bows, flowers, or what-have-you in her hair, a novel idea is pastel velvet birds fastened on a comb. Perfume sticks are becoming very popular. They are so easy to carry in .one's purse, and they can be bought in her favorite scent. When the cold winds blow a pastel or white fascinator will keep . her head warm.

A last sugges tion is handkerchiefs embroidered with the army or navy insignia. Perhaps the above mentioned items will facilitate that last min ute shopping of some of the boys. It isr sincerely hoped that it will. as there is nothing more heart rending than to see a bewildered male surrounded by the confusing Plans February I v From LintMjln Journal Mr. and Mrs. William R.
