TOBLERONE Swiss Milk Chocolate with Honey and Almonds Xmas is here again, says Dad, and what to buy for presents is a problem. But I think I will do the same as last year, and that was buy most of my gifts from VERNON SMITH where it is a pleasure to shop, thanks to the courtesy extended to me by the obliging assistants. Mum comes first. Dear old Mum. The grey hairs are certainly coming fast, but to me she looks bonnier than ever. Now, she deserves something good, for she has put up with my and the children’s ways all these years, and that s saying something. Last year 1 gave her some Aluminium Pots and a Tea Set; this year it will be some of those wonderful value Wade & Butcher Mirrorfinish Stainless Knives—Square Handle, Dessert size, 14/6; Table size, 17/6 per half-dozen. Or she might like them with Oval Handle at 15/6 and 18/6 per halfdozen. A better idea would be to take her into the Corner Shop and let her choose for herself. She might prefer some Stainless Spoons and Forks, 1 or a Carpet Sweeper, or Cake Forks or Soup Spoons. It will not be hard to satisfy Mum. Now for Sister. That will be easy, because she is “ engaged.”. This great event only happened last week, hut I know it must be soon, because her young man (“fiance,” as I heard her say to her girl friend, but it was “my young man” in our day) accidentally dropped a “jeweller’s ring card” out of his pocket. Willie found it, and the soup was in the fire. I think 1 will buy her some English Crystal or a nice Tea Set, or some Afternoon Teaspoons, or a piece of real Chinese Brass. Nothing like useful presepts, is there? Last comes Willie, the pride of his Mother and the worry of his Dad. He is a young spark, full of life and the terror of the neighbourhood, if all I hear is correct. His Mother said I was the same at his age; but I could not have been. Now, will I buy him an Airgun, or a Pocket Knife, or a Boy Scout’s Sheath Knife at 5/- for ordinary steel or 7/6 for a Stainless one; or a Watch and Chain. Now for myself. Seeing Mum will probably be getting Cutlery, suppose I buy myself a Set of Carvers to match those Knives. I know Vernon Smith will treat me all right*
