For Eonstantin Brun, Minister to thé Uhited Sta merz for 35 years, was letters of recall to 2:15 o'clock. He had reached thé fetir ment ags | from the dipiomatic service of his eoun- try. His succpssor, Otto Wadsted, will arrive in Washington to take over the duties of Danish Minister. Brun's departure from the b- matic corps removes from the ial life of Washington one of its most colorful and familiar figures. For many years heavy-mus genhl diplomat with his as been a definite paft of thé picture in the Capital One of the few remain- ing envoys who still cling to “Gouft - dress” for ceremonial becasions, Brufi brought glamour to state functions. - His 35 years of sefvice hefe have mad: him well known.

This 8eAsofi, when monetary conditions in this couifitry are tfoliblous, theré are matly families which need to have zest instilled into thelf preparations to offset any slight- | est ifikling of depression that may tor- ment them. And so a new idea in dchrla(:mls celebrations is presented to- lay. -« Let it be said, first of all, that all thibse who can afford to spend money for gifts should be sure to buy to the extent of their vurse, This puts money in_cireulation, which, in itself, helj relieve the present monhetary situatioh. Stores have to be stocked with articles suitable for gifts, and they deserve to | be patronized according to the best | judgment of shoppers. It is for those {who would have to diminish the buy- |ing of necessities, or run up debts for them, that we offer this soltition. In évery family, howevet, there is oppor- tunity to make useé of the idea t & certain extent and bring happiness to others with it. The plan is to reconstrict some chers ished article or articles for the diffefent | members of a family. This is done by | mending and repaiting according to the extent needed to make it as nearly | “good as new” as is possible and to | keep the work a seeret for the Christ- mas surprise. | Evety person has something he (of | she) prites so much that, although it | is brokén or damaged in some way, it lis not thrown away. To have it pu | in order and made useful or ornamenta | again, as the case mav be, would bring | as much fov to the owner as to have | a new article presented to him. When- ever 1t lies in the nower of another | to reconstruct the article. he. or She, {can make the owrer happy bv doing | this very thing. The discarded article is testored and continues to be a source of pleasure as before. (Copyright, 1980.)
