Just 20 More Shopping Days
Gifts For Mother, Dad Suggested Today
Here are a few more gift suggestions assembled by the society, staff, and also a little tip—shop early because the stores will be crowded if you wait until the last week, and you might not be able to find all of these articles in stock then.
Teething Ring
If your baby niece or nephew is going through that trying period of teething, he will find himself well comforted with a pearly teething ring from which hangs a sterling silver rattle. It is priced at about $2.95.
Egg Cups
For the man who likes his eggs soft-boiled and likes them warm, don't overlook the Swedish stainless steel egg cups which sell for $1.00 each or four for $3.75. And don't forget to buy with it the egg topper. When placed on the egg and given a gentle twist, it decapitates the egg.
Casseroles
What woman about the kitchen doesn't like to dirty as few dishes as possible? With a casserole of gleaming copper, lined with pure block tin, she can cook and serve buffet suppers or every-day meals in it. The $1\frac{1}{2}$ quart size costs about $13.75, the $2\frac{1}{2}$ quart size about $16.95.
Disposable Guest Towels
Disposable Guest Towels
Your aunt, sister, sister-in-law,
or any gracious hostess would be
delighted to have disposable guest
towels which are stylish these days.
With a fabric look and colorful
designs, they will make the guests,
who invariably hesitate to use
linen towels, very happy, too. They
cost about $3.50 for 15 dozen.
Musical Novelties
Music lovers will be melodically mad about the solid brass musical bookends or door knockers. In the shape of a single eighth note, they'll add that special "note of harmony" to any bedroom. The knocker sells for about $3.75 and the bookends for $8.95.
Jewelry Box
For the girl who has trouble keeping her earrings together, a jewel box with individual sections is the answer. Of simulated leather, with Florentine tooling, it is especially nice in a sweet pink. It is priced at $2.98.
Musical Lighter
The man who is always without a match will find a musical delight in his next light if you give him a musical lighter. Imported from Germany, of stainless anti-magnetic steel and gilt finish, with Swiss musical movements, they sell for about $15.
Desk Pen
If Dad is a gold enthusiast, he'll be all "fore" a combination golf club-pen holder and leak proof, smooth writing pen. The club head is polished to a gleaming silver and will blend with any desk or decor. It is priced at $15.
Steak Knives
Any apprehensions that a housewife may have about her steaks being too tough to cut will disappear when you give her a set of stainless steel steak knives. With polished dark wood handles and sharp blades, they'll cut through any steak almost effortlessly. Sets of six or eight are priced anywhere from $6.95 to $10.95.

The Gourmet's Corner Bananas Are Best Baked In Bread
We associate them with pies, cakes, icings, or salads, but they are fried, sautéed and even baked in the banana producing countries.
Banana bread is one of the best ways to capture the unique flavor of the banana. This particular recipe comes from the Hawaiian Islands, which ironically enough, do not produce bananas in great abundance. If the recipe is followed carefully, you will have a delicious and light bread which may be served at teas or showers, or as a dessert or snack between meals.
Remember to buy yellow-ripe or green-tipped fruit for cooking.

Society Scrapbook
By JANE PECINOVSKY Daily Kansan Society Editor
If you think unflavored gelatin is just for cooking, you are mistaken. To revive limp petticoats after laundering, dip them in a gelatin rinse. First, wash the rayon or net petticoats, then prepare the dip by softening two envelopes of plain gelatin in a cup of cold water.
Next, place over hot water and stir until gelatin has dissolved, and pour it into a large container and add enough lukewarm water to cover the petticoat. Squeeze out excess moisture and roll the petticoat in a towel. Iron while slightly damp with iron at correct temperature for the fabric involved.

Those of you who plan a shopping trip to Kansas City before Christmas should be sure to look at the beautiful decorations in the store windows. There is one in particular you should not miss—the window is filled with moving stuffed animals in a forest scene. There is a rabbit eating a salad, a skunk toasting marshmallows, a baby bear licking a jar of honey, and numerous other animals sitting in the snow.
Felt skirts, which were so popular last year, are being shown again this year. A bright idea this season is a winter-white skirt decorated with a bunch of flowers made from rickrack, appliqued leaves of dark green felt, and rhinestone dewdrops. A final row of rickrack along the hem completes the skirt.

Is the frame which holds your guy's picture becoming old and tarnished? Don't buy a new one, but save a little money and redecorate the old one. Cover the frame with a brilliant shade of velvet, either to match your room or in your favorite color. A gold rope border may be applied within the frame by applying glue to the rope or tape.

If you want to add some Christmas spirit at your house, try decorating the door of your room. With red tissue or cellophane paper, you can cover the door and make it resemble a Christmas gift by placing wide ribbon from each corner to the middle and tying a large bow.
