Dr. Lee Steiner, noted psychologist and author < of many books on psy­ chology, and the Jewelry Industry Council have de­ vised a fun quiz to make your gift selection easier. "How a man relates to his watch is very revealing in regard to his personal­ ity ... therefore, by know­ ing dad's personality, you have a good idea about the kind of watch he likes," declares Dr. Steiner. To find out if dad likes a practical, utilitarian watch, the latest fashion in watches or a classic timepiece, check off the statements that most fit his reactions below: 1. Whenever he has an appointment he's usually: a. Ahead of time. b. Invariably late. c. On the dot. 2. When it comes to his wardrobe, does he: a. Usually wear what everyone else Is wearing. b. Manage to be the first one in his group to wear new fashions. c. Select classic, un­ derstated clothes as a rule. 3. When he's going on a shopping trip for his clothes, does he: a. Often take mom along to help him pick out things, or at times have her select his apparel. b. Tend to be very independent in his selections, buying what he thinks is new and exciting. c. Have definite tastes in clothing, with pronounced likes and dislikes. 4. Temperamentally he's: a. Usually pretty easy­ going, but when he Teeth are one of the most nearly indestructible parts of the human body. The 300,000-year-old Java man was discovered with a tooth still in his head! does get angry, has good reason. b. Apt to be unpre­ dictable, what may upset him one time, he might overlook next time, and vice-versa. c. Usually on an even keel, but when he does get angry, he's the strong silent type -- often you don't even know why he's angry. Add up your score, and determine which group your dad fits into. He can be a combination of two groups, or even reveal a touch of all three. But there will be one group he more nearly fits. In the event he has two answers each in two groups, then you know he's a combination of both groups, thus widening your gift choices. The group A type father will probably be very hap­ py with any watch you give him, and you'll find a wealth to choose from: sports watches, dress watches, calendar watches, digital, automatic and quartz watches to name a few. He might appreciate a stop watch, or a water­ proof watch if he's the leader of the local Boy Scouts or baseball team. The group B man will probably defer to your taste in watch selection for Father's Day, but If you want to make him happy, remember he's a fashion fore-runner. So if you buy him the very lat­ est in digital watches with a smart looking band, hell be delighted. He'd also like a watch that tells him what time it is in Tokyo or Djakarta! Or give him a watch that will remind him when the time Is up on his parking meter by sounding a little alarm. He'll love a "conversa­ tion piece" pocket watch cased, perhaps, to look like an antique, or one that features beautiful enamel­ PERFECTLY PRACTICAL ... OR SARTORIALLY SPLENDID -- Whether dad is the practical type or the Dapper Dan, there's a watch to please him this Father's Day, reports the Jewelry Industry Council. For the father, left, who is a sportsman, likes the outdoors, or may be the local Scoutmaster, the waterproof durable chronograph with sturdy, stainless case and band will dp just fine. For the fashion-plate father, right, a truly unique watch with a rich ebony or mahogany case and a striking black lizard strap will be a most prized possession. ing, and gives the phases of the moon. The type C dad favors tasteful accessories. So look for an elegant time­ piece. Hell like slim cases, and watchbands coordi­ nated to set the watch off well. He'll want a watch suit­ ed to his attire. For busi­ ness, that could be a dig­ nified, tailored watch, for sports, a practical, sfcutdy watch, and for dressy oc­ casions, perhaps a watch dial with lapis, coral or onyx or even diamond pav£. The key here with type C is: make it attrac­ tive, elegant, and In all ways In good taste. • • • • Our advice: take care of your heart, and live a while. FOR THE TRIANGULAR- shaped face, Vitalis offers this tip: keep the width on top and temples to counter­ balance the narrowness of the face. The part should be of average height, with the length short and fullness above the jawline. Do a cartwheel! mom and the whole family, Samsonite "Cartwheel" Lug­ gage is the perfect traveling companion. When the case rests on its "feet," the wheels are recessed into a corner, protected and out of the way so it won't roll unless you want it to.
