Think of Children, Not Only Yourself, When Buying Toys Shoppers Aid Analyze Subject's Personality Before Selecting Gift for 11T AT to buy mother, father, brother, sister and sweetheart is a perplexing problem every Christmas. Most stores can give you specific tips, and probably there's something definite you've already decided to buy. But In case you're still puzzled here are a few general tips: For Mother: Buy her something she would not ordinarily buy herself. They teU about the young housewife who bought a woolen muffler for her husband's hard-working mother, and a fluffy, impractical gift for her own mother who already had everything she needed. By error the gifts were switched. The young housewife was horrified but both mothers were pleased beyond words. Practicality is a nice thing but it's nice to give a kitchen-chained mother something besides household equipment. Like perfume or bath salts or a bed jacket. Or a pair of sheer chiffon stockings. She'd also like a necklace or bracelet, or a carefully chosen set of costume jewelry to dress up last year's clothes. These are just a few tips--the stores can amplify them a hundred-fold. For Father: Ties, mufflers, cigarette cases or hose are always acceptable but you've only scratched the possibilities there. Does he have a hobby that needs encouragement? Does he have a peculiar weakness for some sport or a certain type of clothes which he's intentionally discouraged because it's extravagant? In the clothing line, besides the first named items, you might look at smoking jackets, cuff links or a tie clasp set with his birthstone. Maybe he. needs exercise for that waistline. Answer: Athletic equipment. Most men like games for fireside entertainment, or they'd appreciate a lunch kit for hunting and fishing trips. ----r For Sister-or Sweetheart? « Flatter her tastes, and make it ^ distinctly "from-me-to-you" sort o^ gift. Jewelry is favorite standby. Then there are books (which are regaining favor as gifts), a pair of gloves, a de£k set, book ends--or how about a real, live dog to stress the "Love me, love my dog" angle? For Brother or Sweetheart: If the young man is particularly close to you there's an extremely wide range of gifts. Otherwise an expensive, elaborate gift might express too great an interest and you might therefore be wise to stick to the books-and-handkerchief line. Proper choice of gifts requires a cool analysis of the man. If he likes the outdoor life, follow the sports motif. If he works inside, how about a memo pad or a desk set with a large blotter and leather accessories? Generally speaking, o avoid tricky gifts and follow your salesperson's advice. Don't buy the toy just because it. pleases your fancy. Keep the child in mind, too. Miniature dogs with wagging tails are fascinating to parents but they won't keep the child h^ppy very long. Miss Elisabeth Irwin, who is principal of New York's Little Red School House, says large blocks, tool chests or hand-manipulated derricks make much better gifts. Keeping in mind the child's age and taste, durability of the toy and a few well-chosen scientific principles, she offers these rules to you who are Santa Clauses this Christmas: 1. Choose toys which stimulate the* child's imagination, rather than N- * ^ i f : <1 Goose Is Favorite ^ J?or Yuletide Feast ^ j And Easily Fixed which is the traditional Christmas fowl just as turkey is Thanksgiving's dish, is easily prepared and is delightfully tasteful if handled correctly. Not until recent years has goose been properly aj> preciated, largely because it hasn't been prepared properly. Geese vary in weight from 8 to IS pounds or more. Watch for soft feet and a pliable bill (if you dress your own bird) as an indication of proper age for cooking. An excellent dressing is the appl0»- and-raisin variety, made with th§r Removing fat is a simple process. First wipe the bird dry, inside and out. Place in a covered roaster in a 425-degree oven for 30 minutes tq start warming. Remove from oven and cool. Remove fat. Repeat this process twice. Then stuff the goose, close the opening of the body cavity and tie the iegs together. Weigh the bird, allowing 20 to 25 minutes to the pound for roasting in a 325-degree oven. Roast with breast side down. You don't have to baste the bird as it roasts, but orange juice with grated rind may be used if desired.

In any event you'll want a Christmasy looking table and it can be accomplished easily and inexpensively. Here are three suggestions: A large bowl, preferably of wood and filled with shining fruits (a bunch of grapes on top) gives a festive You can lay a wreath of holly about the bowl and use tall, slender candles grouped about it. L>ace runners or doilies that reveal the gleaming table top complete this informal picture. For an all-white table, use a white table cloth for your background and a miniature Christmas tree in the center. For ends of the table, white tapers in candelabra are excellent, and around their bases use simulated snow, cotton sprinkled with tinsel. Flowers, while mere expensive, make a beautiful table. An arrangement of pompon chrysanthemums and red roses in a low bowl, bedded by sprays of long-needle pine and frosted with cones is particularly attractive. A bit of holly gives it a definite Christmas air. The entire arrangement needs few more than a dozen flowers. Such an arrangement should be kept low so H will not hide the folks across the table. For a long table, make the arrangement long; for • round table, make it round. imeiiuavie lasmun m , , . , . iaie as mis turning ii.tu Mr. and Mrs. Brandenburg and . . , . in or(i_P to -J? out perhaps even earlier they will awaken daughters, Doris, age 13, and Betty, ,!°n' u _„f_i f„„j t to to t^,at t^ie'r P®* luxuries are, if ut 10 bne teen operating their 628 ^ „n<| ,.ce bni„ wjth not Impos,ibk to obt..n .o <to.r tkj,t „M r Bn randje n.b urg spend.s cons.idje rabuil_e common Jup in these- p£ar5ts , tbSatu I ithSinSk ^ K.,r , . t p()!i8ibi,itie8. able merchants. of his time away from the farm on .. .j stud,ed biology at the University Jackie, youngest son of Mr and business, so naturally enough the task in Q^er know mon MVs.

Ro!!er skates, sleds, bicycles and other athletic toys are also good.. 3. Find toys that don't break easily. If you buy tools, be sure the hammer head won't fly u.T.

Santa's Gifts Censored In S. Africa This Year They've cramped Santa Claus' style this Christmas in South Africa. Little Jannie may ask for a toy pistol and little Piet may want a box of lead soldiers. Bnt they won't get them. Toy soldiers, guns and tanks and pistols are now banned by the Union. The reason: A receni oatbreak of violence by young criminals frightened the legislature into barring any toy resembling a weapon, particularly a revolver. Water pistols are barred, and even the little percussion cap pistols are taboo. m Oitv Christmas tend the Want Ad* Shining down on Chicago's Michigan boulevard, this Christmas tree in lights 21 stories high is formed by office lights in the stately Palmolive building, the effect being crowned by the Lindbergh aerial beacon atop the ^yscraper. ^
