Bachelor brothers, Uncles, Husbands and Fathers will do well remember that a glorious new evening gown will make a memorable gift for their nearest and dearest woman relative. If the lady in the case favors black-a dreamy black lace gown, black satin sandals and long candy suede gloves will make her a very, very happy woman. Some of the men folk like those "fluffy businesses" then it must be layers of white net with ostrich trim for the youthful beauty who will be belle of her own crowd at the Christmas parties. A draped gown with a slit skirt and deep decolletage will be greeted with open arms if sophistication Precious jewelry gifts of lasting value are a joy long after that ecstatic moment of the "present opening." The mode for rings has returned.
It is a pleasant revival of the sentimental era which will be warmly greeted by most women. Aquamarines and sapphires, amethyst edged with diamonds, pearls combined with other stones, and topaze are exciting versions of the over-sized setting revival. Bracelets studded with huge stones and soft link bracelets with small valuable sets are fashioned to woman's heart, for wear over MRS. FRED CHAPMAN JOHN McARDLE LESTER MOFFITT the long gloves which look so devastating with short-sleeved day dresses and sleeveless evening gowns. If earrings strike the lady's fancy she will doubtless want some elegant ones to "spell" those of her own contriving.
Watches hung on ornamental pins or intricately set in a bracelet are bright little guardians of the hours in a plush box setting given with love. Great burning stones in colors mounted in lucite are Santa's jewelry surprise for 1941.

A white fur evening wrap ermine to flat sheared furs will renew the feminine faith in an openhanded, open-hearted Santa. LEATHER IS THE ANSWER.
Leather is the answer for the darling with a "foot in the road" or a home body with a liking for fine leather in her surroundings. A handsome crocodile bag has a cover with bottles and vanity, accessory space galore, and a whole tray- to accommodate costume jewelry. Decks of crackling new cards in a leather case all the fixin's is a decorative contribution to bridge table amity. Matched luggage from the small trunk-size bag to a makeup case in doll trunk proportions is ideal for the woman, who intends to see more western hemisphere at no distant date.
