a boldly patterned woolen dressing
gown, warm and comfortable for chil-
ly days. A gown of this type is pre-
ferred by staid seniors. The man
leaning against the fireplace is in a
jacquard silk gown with a satin col-
lar, cuffs and sash. This gown is not
as warm as the woolen variety, but is
smart for launging wear and takes
up but little space if packed.

The sportsman today is in a posi-
tion to enjoy a great variety of recre-
ations. Some, men specialize in only
a few :of these sports. Others go in;
for almost all of them. In choosing
a gift for a man of this type, make
sue that you buy something that will
fit ;in with his particular,-hobby, and
that is not a duplicate of something
he already possesses. -
The boldly patterned lumber jacket
shirt shown in this illustration is a
useful addition to practically any
type of outdoor wear. It may be worn
for skiing, ice skating, and is excel-
lent for shooting as well.
Below it is shown a nicely balanced
16-gauge double barrel shotgun. No
gun lover ever has enough guns, so
this is one department in which a
duplicate is by no means unwelcome.
Before selecting such a present, it
would be wise to ascertain as tact-
fully as possible the most acceptable
of gifts, as a variety of gauges are
available and guns for different pur-
pcses have very different specifica-
tions.
A pair of ice skates with shoes
attached have long been a highly
prized gift by boys and young men. It
must not be forgotten that older men
also like ice skating, and many of
them would welcome such a present
with the same enthusiasm as the
youngsters do.
In the lower left hand corner is
shown a portable motion picture
camera. Extensive experimentation
with these has produced a camera
which is very simple to operate and is
most compact. Such a camera re-
quires practically no training to use
and produces most satisfactory films
which may be developed at home. As
well as being great fun to operate,
the pictures provide a permanent
record of lasting value.
