"Over the top!" and "Attack, men!"

about electric trains and ten gallon

Even foot-pedalled airplanes and
tanks are offered along with sabres,
machine guns, and helmets (all made
of wood for defense's sake) for minia-
ture General MacArthurs to wage ju-
venile warfare.
Wood Used for Toys"
The favorite wooden soldiers of our
grandfathers' time'are making their
appearance again this year instead
of the metal warriors of the past few
years. Of course this year's supply
of them is as modern as the minute,
and armies of them from generals
down to privates can be bought at
half the cost of their tin and lead
predecessors.
Elaborate erector sets, wood-burn-
ing outfits, and lead-melting devices
have been relegated to the back-
ground as strategy games with plastic
battleships, cruisers and aircraft car-
riers, maneuvered on cardboard mapp,
take the spotlight.
Even the game of "jacks" has felt
the defense influence. Instead of the
heavy metal jackstones of old, toyI

Red Or Black
Evening Wraps:
Are Popular
Sequins, Ermine Tails And
Gold Embroidery Embellish
Stunning New Formal CoatsI
With the number of formals sharp-
ly reduced, you'll want to look espe-
cially smooth in the remaining ones,
so why not enlist a new evening wrap
as one of your most efficient aids?
You'll love the little extra glamor-I
ous touches that this year's crop has.
Sequins are sprinkled here and there
where they will be most effective,
and there are also tricky little bead
arrangements and gold embroidery
guaranteed to catch any male's eye.
A wrap making a striking use of the
former is a full length, tailored red
wool which has a simple bead design
on the lapels and pockets. It's really
a cheerful eyeful!
Velveteen Is Favored
The perennial favorite. the black
velveteen, combines the old and the
new in this year's models. One of the
most striking styles is a fitted black
velveteen with collar and flat pockets
of a bright red wool. You'll like the
gold threads embroidered on them
in a Chinesey design. If you want your
black velveteen made in a more se-
vere style, the model with a single
design of gold thread on the shoulder
would appeal to you.
A simple but very charming version
of the velveteen wrap is one which
'has as its only trinming a cluster of
ermine tails at the throat. This model
also ha.s the graceful full sleeves
which are so becoming. A style of
wrap which has remained popular
I _
over a long period is the opera cloak
which is also at its best when made
of velveteen.
If you like the Lord Chesterfield
influence, you would like the boxy
short evening coat which is so good
this year. This model is featured in
red wool and has a demure black vel-
vet collar and large velvet covered
buttons. It also has neat slit pockets
which solve the problem of where to
put that extra handkerchief.
Beige Wool Is Unusual
If your forte is simplicity plus, a
severe black wool coat unrelieved by
any ornamentation would fit right in
with the motif of your wardrobe. A
gold clip at the neckline would pro-
vide this wrap with an interesting
touch.
One of the season's most unusual
evening wraps is a beige wood with a
mink-dyed muskrat collar. This is an
unusually attractive combination and
is just what you are looking for if you
Want something different. The color
is grand because it goes with every-
thing and doesn't soil easily.
GIFTS that are
Latest Perfumes
Possess Aroma
Of Sophistication
There was a time when every maid
aimed to hint of a sweet and flowery
fragrance, but such is no longer the
case. Perfumes selling under names
such as "Sensation", "Temptation",
"Seduction", or "Irresistible" have
shown themselves to have a definite
appeal for the modern miss. In fact,
it would seem that just as 'long as
the perfume has a wicked-sounding
name, it's sure to sell.
The scents themselves range any-
where from the aroma of sweet peas
to something that smells vaguely like
firecrackers. Among the more popu-
lar fragrances are those which have
a rather spicy odor and those that
are strictly of the blossomy side.
As a knick-knack to adorn a dress-
er, a bottle of perfume is bound to fit
the bill.

Don't kid yourself into thinking
that just because there is a war on,
jewelry is no longer important. In
fact, jewelry is one of the best ways
to dress up that outfit you bought
last year-the one that is going to
have to last at least another year or
more.
With their typical ingenuity, the
jewelry industry has turned to new
fields for inspiration since the gov-
erinent has cut down on many of
the materials available in former
years. They are not only making use
of plastics and other new materials,
but they are delving into the realm
of every-day things about them.
"Lucky Pieces" AGopted
Among the new ideas are lucite
"lucky pieces." These pins come in
various shapes-a horseshoe, a cres-
cent moon, a wishbone-and you can
even get a bracelet to match. All are
tied with a dainty little black ribbon,
which adds to their interest. Other
pins are being featured in sterling
silver with your choice of an appeal-
ing lamb, a dog or a horse's head
for you equestrians.
More pins than ever are being
made from wood this year. Do you
remember those animal crackers you
used to love as a child? Well, you
can buy fairly accurate repi'oduc-
tions of them in wood to wear on
your lapel, your sleeve, or to pin on
your purse. Another novel idea for
those of you who are too shy to wink
at the attractive man in your psych.
class, is a penguin lapel pin. It is
equipped with a small battery so
that the eyes light up and wink when
the button is pressed.
Bracelets Are Popular
Bracelets always make 'popular
Christmas gifts. Costmetic bracelets
are still good, and amere flick of
the finger makes all the makeup nec-
essities, available immediately. If you
have a man in the armed forces, wear
an identification bracelet with his
crest on it. Send him one too-maybe
one of those new ones with a con-
cealed locket for your picture.
Another popular gift is a link brace-
[et and compact combination covered
with- daisies. Each link in the brace-
let has either "ie loves me" or "He
loves me not" inscribed on it, and is
sure to intrigue the man of your
dreams.
Pearls Perennial Favorites
Necklaces, earrings, rings, and clips
are perennial favorites. Ever-popular
are the single strang long pearls, al-
though the shorter varieties come in
for their share of favoritism too. Ear-
rings seem to be more in evidence
this year than ever before. We saw
