GIFTS FOR MEN FRIENDS.
YOU MUSTN'T GIVE HIM— Coloured or woollen socks —black silk evening socks are safe enough. Ties of any pattern or hue should be avoided. Large pocket-books of any sort, small, compact cases are the only acceptable ones. Books of anybody's " Thoughts." Cigars, tobacco, or cigarettes, unless you know tho brand he smokes. Never give a man anything elaborate. Simple gifts of : lain "silk hankies or scans, a recent novel or small engravings, according to tho individual taste of the receiver, are much more acceptable to the average man than tho most expensive gift in the world.
