Just 5 Shopping Days—
Say 'Merry Christmas' With These Gifts-
Only five days remain to complete your Christmas shopping. This is the last list of gift suggestions, and the society staff hopes it has been helpful in solving your gift problems.
Although not everyone can travel, most people are interested in articles that come from foreign countries. There are many gifts from these lands that would be excellent for the person "who has everything."
Glass Jewelry
Glass jewelry from Italy is available in many colors with copper, gold, or silver metallic specks. Necklaces and bracelets match and make a much appreciated gift for the lover of unusual jewelry. From Venice come the figurines, ash trays, and other glass pieces made in the Murano glass factory. The process by which gold is sealed into the glass is known only to those at the factory, and their products are available in colors to go in every room.
Ash Trays
Cigarette boxes, ash trays of brass inlaid with enamel from China, or a stamp box of cinnabar make an interesting gift. Cinnabar consists of many coatings of red enamel on a wood base, and scenes of Chinese life are often carved in the enamel.
Another gift from the Far East which can be used every Christmas is a Japanese kissing bell. Made of a wire base in the shape of a bell, it is decorated with silver cones. The bell makes an unusual frame for mistletoe.
Kissing Bell
Candlesticks
An ancient looking, but modern gift comes from Israel. Slate blue enamel laid on brass or copper is available in candlesticks, ash trays, cigarette boxes, and little pitchers for those who collect knick knacks.
Swedish candlesticks in bronze are always appropriate gifts for an older person. They come in many interesting shapes and almost any size.
Apothecary Jars
Returning to the domestic scene, there are many interesting pieces that many people do not think of when shopping. Apothecary jars, good for keeping candy or spices, come in clear glass in five sizes.

certain to please the man in your life. Just check on the type of reading matter that the person likes, and then have his favorite magazine sent to him for one year. The age of the person will probably determine if he wants a news magazine or a "man's" magazine. Subscription prices range from $3 to $8 a year, but often at this season of the year you can get magazine subscriptions at a reduced price for gift-giving.
Laundry Bag
A suggestion for the junior members of the family—a plastic laundry bag, decorated with a laughing clown face and any first name in gay colors. It hangs on a clothes hanger, and is a handy catch-all for everything from socks to jeans. For $2, the room will no longer look like a hurricane struck it!
Dictionaries
The lucky friend who plans a trip abroad soon will be even luckier if you give him a set of three miniature (2¼" by 3") dictionaries one English, one English-French, and one English-Spanish. Leather bound in library colors, they'll help him "parler" or "hablar" like a Frenchman or Spaniard. The set is $2.98.
Paper Weight
A brass paper weight and clip holder in the shape of a honey bee makes an original gift for the desk or any place in the house.
Merry Christmas!—and take the advice of the society staff: Don't wait until Saturday to do all your shopping.
