Dcllcmbaugh, head of the American MEN'S GIFTS FROM NEW VIEWPOINT Wearing' Apparel is Most Ac ceptable—Do Not Worry About the Sizes What are wo to give our men friends! Always a trying question. Naturally, "It all depend*." If wo are Intimate friends. It I» not so difficult to decide, after all, because at no lime of the year—the Heart of the Season—are moat men so much In need of those delightful things to wear with which tho turn's shops are replete. All those little things, for Instance, that no one thinks of giving you, and which you put off buying for yourself, till after the holidays. You always decide that yon give that yourself have so many gifts you must wait lo buy necessities for your own use. It is a impulur superstition that wriirlng apparel Is an Inconvenient thing lo give, because one never knows the right sixes lo select, hut most shops make Hu- purchase of such things an easy mutter these days by the Issuing of bonds for various amounts, redoemublo In mer chandise, or. at least, they uro entirely willing to exchange things that do not tit tutor the holidays. For Instance, there uro few men who would not he glad lo receive half u dozen dress ties. One uses them up go quickly In tho season. If they arc not the right length these "gift ties," how essy to ex change them. The new ties are a trifle longer than those of last winter—ut least many that i one sees at tho opera are ami It Is quite likely that "ho" hoe none of this newer pattern. 1 think, by Iho way. that the tie with round ends Is not very popular. One does not ace very many of them. Dress lies for Christmas gifts! Why not! Another thing, most acceptable lo all men, Is silk socks. They cannot have too many,* and Just now silk socks are so uni versally worn by smartly dressed men us to be almost "do rlgcur." Then, possibly, the most Important thing available for Christmas gifts—that Ik, the most Im portant men's wear thing—Is the waist coat, but this Is rarely given because of the "size" bugbear. Now evening waist coats are especially acceptable lo nearly all men In winter. Tbo opera and tho smart plays—there arc two or three houses in New York at which one Is not apt to see men otherwise garbed than In full evening regalia—are very hard on white waistcoats. You had better give him one. He will bo glad to have It. There uro sev era! new models this season. A black silk or brocade full-dress waistcoat would l>e a particularly acceptable gift. Few men have them as yet, but they are beginning to be worn a good deal for Informal oc casions. either with the dinner Jacket or to the theatre or when dining In u public restaurant, with full dress. Indeed, Iho-e arc great days for waistcoats of all kinds. Fancy waistcoats (butg^f somewhat de mure fabrics In gray effects, black and whites, tans, etc.) are now being worn lo business. Such waistcoats make excellent gifts. Better still, perhaps, one of the gorgeous knit waistcoats of Angora wool that so many of the shops arc ottering this holiday season. They ore Just the thing for the cold days that are sure lo come along before the winter Is over. Hut in selecting your Christinas gifts re member this: Do not,' In checking off your list, let Ignorance of proper sizes In lerfero with your selection.
