90 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Friday, December 4, 1963 OMEN A Piece of Luggage Makes Acceptable Gift for Man or Woman "Hit the Road" has virtually be- come our national motto -- with millions of Canadians scurrying hither and yon on summer vaca- tions 'and a multitude of holiday weekends. This year, with Christmas on Friday, the procession of weekend travellers will be longer than ev- er. And an appropriate Christmas for the nomads in your family a good-looking piece of leather luggage. A gleaming leather two-suiter, or train case combines the glam- orous with the practical, meeting the demands of both the provident and the luxury-loving on your Christmas list. That's probably why nearly 50 percent of the lug- gage sold in this country passes across the counter during the Christmas season. Here are a few highlights on the luggage picture: 'or women, nothing draws ad- miring glances and loving kisses like a compartmentalized train case covered in rich leather. You can a these in sturdy, smooth cowhide in a variety of Lay colors, alligator-grained cowhide, in shining genuine alligator. Some of the new train cases have a top shelf that lifts out and closes in two to become a handy handbag-sized carrying case for and jewels, and assorted odds and ends. Below this shelf, there is plenty of room for jars of cosmetics, toilet articles and even a nightie and a few underthings, if you're travelling Jight. Other leather luggage for wom- en include overnight cases in a variety of lengths, pullman cases, which are somewhat larger and shoe bags. Aside from its lovely appearance, leather is so flexible that you can pack in twice as much as you thought. The soft sides stretch, keeping wrinkling down to a minimum. For the man on your list a two- suiter of rugged, mellow leather is the perfect piece for a trip of several days' duration. It has room for two suits, lots of shirts, under- clothes, ties and handkerchiefs and you can easily include an extra pair of shoes. For shorter trips, a one-suiter is ideal. And, if your man restricts his travelling to the daily trip to and from the office, get him a leather-covered attache case. They hold more than the average briefcase -- and make him look so distinguished. However, if he balks at glamor, or looking distinguished, don't give up. There are loads of smart look- ing leather briefcases, under-arm portfolios and other such for him. You Can't Look Your Prettiest If Your Feet Are As winter's chilly blasts usher in the pa season, our minds are fixed on slimmer waistlines, glos- sier hairdos, and more beautiful complexions. But it won't help if you're hobbling around on feet that add ten years to your age. You wouldn't dream of sloshin barefoot through smow and slus on your round of holiday parties. Chances are, though, you'll do al- most as much damage to your feet simply by asking them for granted. Foot doctors have traced a lot of winter foot ills to shoes that fit badly or that are made of in- ferior materials. Most women don't realize that ill-fitt shoes may impede blood circulation and bring on chilblains and even a bad case of frostbite quicker than a trip to the Arctic. That's one reason why foot doctors recommend night! foot exercises to tone up sluggis blood vessels, and te keep the tiny bones and muscles in trim.

Victorian Frills For Little Girls By MURIEL NARRAWAY Canadian Press Staff Writer LONDON (CP) -- Dainty, frilly insulates your feet against the wi 0 frocks with a Victorian in- There's no better way to avoid that clammy condition inside the shoe which chills the entire body. Oddly, quite a lot of trouble de- velops from over-protecting the feet. By all means keep them dry, but don't suffocate them by wear- ing galoshes or overshoes indoors, on heated buses, autos or trains. rubbers will raise foot tempera- tures inside the shoe, causing ex- cessive perspiration, swelling and skin sensitivity. That's an open in- vitation to the common cold. Shod with all-leather shoes that give down-to-earth walking com- fort, your ,underpinnings will get added benefit from a nightly treat- ment. To begin with, give them a pep bath--a handful of bicarbonate of soda mixed with warm water. After a cool rinse, dust the feet with a foot powder. Then follow up with some simple exercises. First, take fifty steps around the bedroom on your toes -- it loosens all the small bones, muscles and ligaments. As a bunion-prevention measure, rotate the big toe by hand for a few minutes, and wind up by rubbing the soles riskly a dry towel. i Follow these recommendations, and you'll get through winter's snow and slush on your own two feet -- without grimacing in pain, Buying Habits of Canadians Compiled from Recent Survey Sixty per cent of the women of St. John's, Nfld., bake their own , while only 7 per cent of the women 4 Toronto perform this This is just ome of the bits of information about the buying hab- I nil Canadians which a e rom ages tight tabulation pore olf 4 in the Cana- dian Consumer Survey of 1953, compiled by Canadian Opinion Co. and published by Canadian Daily Newspapers Association. The survey is based on replies from many people in 56 cities and towns, according to usual public- sampling techniques. The figures cover replies dealing with usage of 225 classifications of products bought by consumers. + _ Brandon, Man., racks up the highest percentage of margarine users with 91 per cent; but, as in the case of all such percentages, this doesn't indicate the amount they consume or how much butter they use. All Canadians pour on the cat- sup, with French-language users of Sherbrooke, Que., the lightest at 72 per cent. Whatever the reason, Sault Ste. Marie seems to be the biggest buyer of chest rubs, at 85 per cent, and Belleville, with 76 per cent, also uses more than the fairly heavy users of the Atlantic seaboard. The women of Quebec province use most lipstick, at 88 per cent, and British Columbia the Tog, 2 79. A minority of women acknowl edge corsets, ranging from Que- bec province's 41 per cent to Brit- ish Columbia's 15. Brassieres range from 89 per cent in the Maritimes and Newfoundland, to 77 in British Columbia. The men of Windsor and Sarnia conduct the most valiant battle against the receding hairline, if 61 per cent usage of hair tonic indicates anything. North Bay and Sault Ste. Marie claim the bigget headaches with 96 per cent purchases of head- ache remedies. The 1953 survey is the fifth in a series of biennial studies.

A Swiss voile dress with frilled centre panel in skirt, puffed sleeves and big back bow might tempt any shy three-year-old from her doll collection. An embroidered petti- coat shows beneath the hem in grown-up style. The outfit costs about £4. This was one of many pretty party numbers shown recently in London at a children's pirouette show. Staged by a well-known cot- ton firm that supplied the Queen with moderately-priced cotton dres- ses for her round-the-world tour, the py Show featured "ig ma Sp) and summer outfits. SMART BEACH SUITS It seems that British tots this summer can make quite a splash on British and continental beaches, in casual outfits costing just above £1. Young men with a habit of collecing all the rirt there is around can be dressed in a palm beach shirt over terry towelling shorts. The shorts cuff matches the shirt. In gay reds, blues, white, or- ange and green, this outfit washes like a duster and costs between £1 and £2 depending on size. Junior's taller sister might choose a' smocked candy-stripéd dress with frilled neckline and sleeves. In navy and pink, gold and turquoise it's sized from 22" to 32" and costs little more than £3. Many British parents have been grumbling that children's play clothes in smart styles cost more than average families care to pay for summer wear. As a result this firm has styled a wide range of reasonably-priced clothes that will cover most playtime necessities for both sexes. FROM £1 UP Prices range from £1 for colorer denim jeans and T shirts to a 'teen-age nylon dress with V neck, four-gore gathered skirt and gath- ered sleeves, costing nearly 6. The accent for junior beach wear is as casual as the latest Palm Beach styling for parents. Stripes are used in conjuncti with 'plain fabrics in dresses liké the one for an eight-year-old that is a "minia | ture of mummy's." In red or navy | cotton, the dress has a candy-| striped sailor collar matching a, candy-striped insert at the front of the gathered sKirt. A new idea is the Victorian rose | trellis stripe that is used in many garments, including especially feminine rompers for baby. It is also effective in a rose-striped housecoat with contrast quilted collar and pockets, It has a tie sash and the sleeves are tied with bows. . | A stream of good values is open | to you daily in The Times-Gazette Classified advertising section.
