Never before has the world been in such need of friendships as it does today. § To make others happy is to create friendships. To maintain these friendships requires patience, love and understanding devotion. Too often we neglect the friendships of those with whom we are associated. Many times we take their friendships for granted but there is one time of the year when all of us are reminded of the splendid relationships we have had and we welcome the oppor- tunity to acknowledge these friendships by some token of appreciation, whether it be an elaborate gift or a kind word of Christmas greeting. . We ask that you accept this message in the sense that it is offered. Qurs is a cordial appreciation of the friendships which have been cemented by long and continuous service. We wish you all the good things in life.

Colognes Return Because alcohol for perfumes was cut to 70 per cent of normal volume and later to 50 per cent, there has been a revival of the solid colognes which were popular a generation ago. Some of these are put up in at- tractive compact form to be carried in the bag, others are wrapped in tinfoil and encased in a bottle when not in use. Still others are put up in sets with matching lipsticks.

This is the advice of Dora Zarovich, designer of stuff- ed, washgble toy animals No, he doesn't necessarily have to likes and dislikes, preference for | color, and what he can handle by | bringing him in a toy store and | giving him free rein. { That's the way Mrs. Zarovich de- | cides whether to market a particular | toy or mot. She gets the judgment of her young nieces and nephews by studying their reactions to a toy before she makes her final decision. As a result, she has a definite wuide to the toy taste of children | of various ages. When a baby is very strong, says Mrs. Zarovich, he has no known| oreference, so his mother usually buys him gentle, cuddly animals such as lambs, in soft pinks and | blues. This is fine, she says, as long | as the animals are waterproofed and colored with vegetable dyes. Later, at eight or nine months, children begin to recognize colors and generally the first one they learn 5 red. So, it is a good idea when shopping fof a child this age to keep that in mind, she says | At two or three years, Mrs. Zaro- vich discovered, a child likes the animals he is familiar with.

Mrs. Emile Voitier has been a doll surgeon for nearly half a century. She's in the profession principally because her mother got into it by accident. In the 1880’s Mrs. Voitier's mother had a toy and doll shop in the city’s French Quarter.. Many of the dolls were cracked or broken in shipment and the mother learned from neces- sity how to repair them herself. Then customers began to bring their own damaged dolls to be salvaged, until the sideline grew bigger than the sale of dolls. ‘The mother abandoned the shop and set up the first doll hospital in the south. Mrs. Voitier had wanted to become a fashionable seamstress, and her tal- ent for embroidery is evident in the costume doll dresses she fashions. But her mother’s last wish was that she continue the business, so she carried on. | Thousands of dolls from all over }lhc United States, Canada, Alaska and Mexico reach the small back {rooms of her two-story house.
