Other suggestions are knitting bags, calendars etc., and there’s lots of felt novelties and other articles to choose from.

Gifts That Bring Beauty Happy thought! Give beauty aids this Christmas! A gift that will add to her beauty will be one to delight the heart of every woman. Few men realise the great pleasure such a gift can give. They walk frantically about from one shop window to another looking for suggestions and wondering what to choose. You might suggest to your hu 'band or fiance that a gift of a set of cosmetics would be most acceptable. Just give him a hint that beauty aid sets are obtainable at the Catherine En wright Beauty Salon, and see if he does not rise to the occasion. Miss M. Kelly, formerly managere s of Maeder, has taken over the Salon and will welcome continued patronage of clients. Toys, Toys, and More Toys
