The current bigh value of silver, however, needn't eliminate this most elegant of possibilities from a man's gift list. Individual serving pieces provide the answer - small, medium or large, there's one that's just right for most gift- giving budgets. Many womnen today start sets of sterling with serv- ing pieces simply because they're the mosti impres- sive ones of ail. Special decoration lin the form of fluting or piercing, the graceful curve in the han- die of a sauce spoon, the combination of sterling with a rare wood ail add to the eye-catching beauty of these pieces. 0f course, any man thinking of starting a set of sterling for bis wife knows that a piece or two of soiid siiver doesn't con- stitute a set.

And with entertaining and menus so much simpier today than in the past, sur- prisingly few serving and place pieces are required for most meals. Consider, for instance a buffet dinner for six, ,built around an uncomplicated menu featuring a casserole dish, buttered rolis, relisb- es, cake and coffee. With a tablespoon and an olive or pickle fork for servinfg, aiong with six place forks for guests to use for the casserole dish, salad f orks for cake, and teaspoons for, coffee, the hostess can entertain in the way she's always wanted - beauti- fully and elegantly. There'll ýbe no better time to buy sterling than rigbt now, especially when so many stores offer ex- tended time payments for sets of steriing-often with no finance or carrying charges. Many a married couple looks upon the pur- chase of solid silver as a particularly good invest- ment these days - not, only does its intrinsic value give every expectation of i ,ncreasing with time, but sterling's an investment which promises more than a lifetime of use. And as it graduaily acquires the sot t, lustrous patina that's so lovely, it wili become a treasured heirloom to be handed down eventually to the children. Sterling'"s a. gift that makes sense in many ways. And whether it's given as one grand, glori- ous set, or piece by piece, it's sure to'be one of the most-wanted, and most appreciated, gifts of the season. In days gone by, strings of chewy popcorn balis, gaily-wrapped candies,' brigbt paper chains and thickly-iced cookies dan- gled f rom the family Christmas tree, deligbting i the eyes and tummies of young and old alike.
