There are not so very many shopping days left before Christmas, but the last gifts to buy are often the most important, and if you are one of those persons who have been waiting for an "inspiration" as to what to give him, or her, or them, perhaps we can help with suggestions from our visit to some of the stores today, If it's a gift for a "him." why not choose a lounging robe? We never heard of a man buying one for himself. at least we don't think he is apt to, but we are quite sure he would really like to have one. At Petersen's there was a large assortment of men's robes to select from, including plain and striped flannel ones, luxurious brocaded rayons, and silk-lined ones of the new "crepe dura." These are full-lined in contrasting color, and very smart looking we assure you, The range of colors is wide, and the price range is, too. A robe for a woman friend is a safe bet, too, and we were interested those we saw at Scharff's. The flannel robes are particularly in, attractive, and awfully warm and comfortable.
They come in plain colors, in two tones, and in novelty stripes and checks. We also noted pajamas and ensembles at Scharff's and because the glove counter is right next to the lingerie department, we stopped to admire the gloves that were on display and to sell ourself that they would make handsome gifts, especially the evening gloves in both the 16-button and 12-button length and the smart short style with ruffled wrist. There are a lot of suggestions for the "something-to-wear" present at the Bee Hive, whether it is for the little girl, her big sister, mother or grandmother. We should think any little girl would be delighted with rayon pajamas in color combinations that are just as attractive as her big sister's. Other items for the little girl, which were noticed in the children's section on the mezzanine floor, are ROOMER INSISTS IN VAIN HE MUST DRINK FOR PAIN Michael P.
