As I passed thr.ough the stores and shops this week Gift Suggestions just popped out every where. Predominating, as should be this war-Christmas, arc gifts that will give joy and comfort to our brave boys "over there,"' or who will soon be on their waj to the battle-front. This week marked the openings of the Top Shops, crowded with thousands of things to gladden the heart of -childhood, but do you know that PATRIOTISM even ex tends to toys this season, for with scarcely an exception, everything is "MADE IN AMERICA," and proud am I to say it; never have dollies, games, play furniture, electric and mechanical toys, etc., been so delight ful, and- what's more have substan tial qualities never found in toys sent to us from over the seas. Surely parents will welcome gifts for their children which do not have to be thrown away 'as utterly useless a week or two following Christinas. THREE CHEERS FOR MADK-IN-AM ERICA TOYS! And for the "grown-ups" are practical gifts and many objects of art from the hands of gentle people who dream beauti ful dreams and produce beautiful things. Let us then BUY GIFTS and record in a tangible way our love and regard for relatives and friends. BEWILDERING surprises greeted me on every hand as I was pi loted by Miss Kerr from one show case to another full of fascinating Christmas novelties in the'splcndid jewelry section of Brandeis' Store last Friday morning. Indeed, one may always count on the latest fads being there. "To please a man" there is a solid gold belt bucklevery, very handsome! and when engraved with his monogram 'twill certainly appeal to his manly heart. Specially nice to give your Soldier Sweetheart is a ster ling silver photo case. For HER there are gifts too numerous to men tion, but when you visit this depart ment be sure to ask them to show you their exhibition of GENUINE IVORY toilet articles really made from African elephant tusks! it's perfectly wonderful! FL:RS! Ah, did'st ever notice whpn ihpv arc mentioned how a woman pricks up her ears? Yes. nothine ever takes the interest of woman as the subject of FURS. And this year they will be the truly ap preciated gift, for the use of furs has become so universal among well dressed women that no dress is quite effective without them. You'd be in terested I know in the elegant and exclusive furs that are being shown for the holiday time at F. W. Thome's Uptown Shop, 1812 Far nam street. There are collars, stoles and muffs of rich, lustrous $ilky black and taupe lynx, capes and col larettes of beautiful Hudson seal; the latter sometimes having a touch of regal ermine to add to it's becom ingness. Genuine marten and skunk, those furs which add beauty to any face, are shown in several fine muffs and neck-pieces, besides many other modish furs. A gift booklet with an attractive cover and containing "Practical Sug gestions for the Housewife," makes a nice gift to a newly-wed friend. Price 65c. THE style-seeking woman who has been waiting for a "less-than-rcgular-price" suit event, will welcome the news that Esmond's late Fall and Winter models are now very radically reduced in price. Su perbly fashioned, fur-trimmed and made of the most modish of mate rials you'll be sure to find YOUR own particular model among the as semblage. Three that I particularly admired just last week, priced $75, $45 and $37.50 are now only $50, $30 and $25. Just think of it! , The early shopper has better se lection and better service; she avoids the congestion and hurry of eleventh hour Christmas buying; she has at her command a more experienced sales force. ( THE Christmas Spirit is surely as serting itself in Lucien Stephen's Shop, at 19U1 Farnam street, for there is an endless variety of gift sugges tions for all the men of your family. Ilis holiday neckwear is now in and i specially attractive this season. There's also a new line of attractive bath robes and Khaki Christmas nov elties for your Soldier Boy. '.

Dodds and family and CHRISTMAS GIFT-GIVING Cheerful and blight Will set each days living And loving aright Somehow or other In such days as these One strives ajiother More dearly to please EVERYWHERE one turns "Conservation" greets one's eye; ONE tho't she would be sensible No Christmas gifts to buy But this she found In looking round No proper way at all. How could she foster Christmas joy By seeming quite so "small?" "Why no! It will be sensible To buy with thought and care And here are some suggestions Unite worth while, 1 declare!" HA N I) KERCH! E US tliey are a part of every Christinas! and no wonder, for they are gifts mailed most easily, selected with , the least time and effort and bestowed with 1 lie most satisfaction to both giver and receiver. 1 spent such a de lightful time this week 'making in selection of Christmas handkerchiefs from the wonderful collection at Thompson-Bclden's, and do you know, in spite of the advance of price in linen articles, I found the handker chiefs at this store very reasonable. Pure linen handkerchiefs with dainty colored borders for 25c, of exquisite Madeira hand-embroidery 55c to $.5.50, of French embroidery 50c and up to $16.00, or if you wish to bestow a gift with an intimate touch there arc handkerchiefs marked with the recipient's initials for 1 5c to 75c. Amusing hankies with funny, little figures and colored animals for Wee Lads and Lassies 3 in a box, 25c to 50c. Besides these, are some spe cially beautiful ones of Dticftess and Rose point l,ace which you'll enjoy seeing. ' ' Something quite new, sensible and decidedly giftie and only costiiig 75c, is a muff-hanger done up in a pretty gift box with this inscription: "A hanger for your muff I send I hope 'twill do it's duty And hold your muff most careful!) And so preserve its beauty." WOULDN'T you be delighted to find a set of furs in your stock ing Christmas morning: 1 burse you would! Now, Jnst let me suggest that this evening after "Dad," or "Husband" has settled down all comfy to cigar and evening paper, you whisper that you "happened to see" the loveliest fur pieces at Lamond's fashionable second floor shop in the Securities Building. Descant a bit on the fan1 that "all the girls have new furs," and also on the reasonableness of the furs at this shop for that's really the truth! I saw a cape of Nutria with those be coming ties finished with fur balls which I'm sure you'd like, but then there arc other pieces equally as beautiful. A MILITARY "BOOT SPECIAL! And wheu I tell you that this event is going to happen this week at Napier's, you'll want to pur on your bonnets and make a bee line for that fashionable Booteric. These clever street boots with welt soles, one and one-half inch hecis and eight and one-half inch lace tops arc made 'over a new military last with a stylish pointed toe. It's a style that's ex tremely voguish just now and the colors, Iiazel brown and "toncy" red (in calfskin) are particularly smart. These come in complete sies and widths, but I would advise when or dering by mail to take numbers from your best fitting pair of shoes in or- ,1-- in cor-Hrn a nerfeet fit. Most for got to tell you the price, which is the biggest surprise of all $7.8o! Imagine it!

NO SEEKER after Christmas gifts can afford to "pass up" the pretty little Japanese Shop of The Nippon Importing company at 218 South Eighteenth street, for it's there you can make "one war-time dollar do duty of nine." Over on one tabic are the prettiest, lacquered Sweet Meat Boxes (Mr. Hoover would ap prove, for they will conserve what candy we have, and keep it fresh a long time). A long table is piled high with the most fascinating array of baskets you ever saw, delightfully trimmed with colored tassels, rings and beads.
