Some of the most unusual effects can be achieved very easily by choos- ing the right color for your with colored lights selected to complement and beautiful tree, together the room decor. For instance, if your living room has white walls, and furn- iture upholstery and rugs in burnt orange and beige shades, try a decorated with red sparkle lights only.

A word about gold and silver New Fashions For Sub-Teen Set visitors are amazed, delighted and fascinated by our range of garment sizes, so that every type of figure, from Grandchild to Grandma, can be smartly fitted --and this at every price level. GREAT CONVENIENCE Well, that's only one of the many conveniences American women enjoy and it's one that is very much envied. - In case you haven't discovered it yet, there is still another new size range for young girls in the ready-to-wear departments, If your daughter is 11 or 12 years old, chances are that she requires a size 14 dress. Well, the chances also are that she re- fuses to wear a style that comes in the range of sizes 7 to 14, for the simple reason that she con- siders it more appropriate for her baby sister than for her own age. This reluctance to wear the same style she sees in size 7 clothes is natural enough. A girl of 11 or 12 has her dignity to consider, as well as her fashion reputation! She wants some- thing a bit more sophisticated yet not quite in the style of teen clothes. The stores and manufacturers have become increasingly aware of this situation and have done something about it. They're now offering a so-called G-range of! dresses in sizes 9G, 11G and 13G, Whenever we meet a woman|t from abroad--and we are fortu-|* nate to meet many--one com-|t ment is sure to be heard.
