CHRISTMAS GIFT-BOX BUYING AVOID THAU FINAL RUSH Think oi' Christmas gift-box buying while prices, are still more or less normal. Watch lor tiny-remnants of cream I or Avhite linen which can be used to make up d'Oyleys, centres, etc., 1 for those girl friends who are stocking their glory^box. It is simple Lo mark out a shape and have spoke-stitching done if you do not care to scallop the edges. Trace appropriate designs on the article and work them in spare moments. Scraps of bright-coloured silks and celluloid dolls make up into gay pyjama-doll soiled-hanky bags popular with those girls who, just bordering on teen age, are too old for toys. Dainty lingerie tops can often be purchased at a reduced price at winter sales. These, cellophanewrapped, arc delightful for the girl or matron who likes to make her own undies. Other gifts that suggest themselves: tiny fancy dishes, kitchen gadgets, the inevitably hanky. In all cases bear in mind that the gift is to be appropriate l . Keep a check on purchases, wrap the articles and mark each, so that there is no fusion before putting it away in a special port or drawer. Start now and you will wonder how you manage to get all your Christmas gifts ready and still have a rounded purse when it comes to the final flutter of shopping on Christmas Eve.
