Shopping Spree Starts
Find*Gifts for All on List
The mysterious Miss Hush may prefer her Christmas
in Spring, but Shelton, for reasons known to all, is rushing
into the holiday season with wild abandon.
A county-wide shopping*
spree began last week with
an evening of open house in
Shelton stores Friday.
This week finds the store clerks
• faced with the problem of answer-
ing such questions as "What would
you suggest for my Aunt Mamie ?
I like this cigarette case but she
doesn't smoke." or "Do you think
this will fit my wife ? She's this
(with gestures) broad and this
tall."
IN ORDER to ease the task of
the weary clerks and to acquaint
the local shoppers with the ex-
tensive and high quality merchan-
dise in stock in Shelton stores a
Journal correspondent took the af-
ternoon off to "see for himself
and pass the word along."
He reports his own Christmas
Shopping nearly completed and
offers suggestions of gifts for
readers to get Mother. Father, the
kids and anyone else on The List.
" 'M' is for the mauy things,"
etc., but what shall we get Moth-
er this Yea r ? ,The answer to that
annual question seems to lie sonic-
where betwqen the "New Look"
fashions available at the ladies'
ready-to-wear departments at the
L.M. and Penney's,' at the Polka
Dot and at Crane's Apparel and
the ever lovely gifts of jewelry
on display at Beckwith's, Neuen-
schw$ter's and Ray Vrahnos'.
FOR THE ladies, the L.M. has
on hand'an, elegant line of lingerie.
Outstanding among the many
lovely night g0WnS, robes, slips
and hostess gowns are the satin
quilted, lace-trimmed robas avails:
able in tea rose and white.
Also at the L.M. is the new .so-

Christmas Mail
Fore.her States: :
Should be in Now
All Christmas cards for out-of-
state delivery, and all Christmas
packages, should be in the mail
today in order to ensure their ar-
rival before Christmas.
"The heavy flood of gift pack-
ages and Christmas cards in post
offices all over the United States
makes early mailing essential,"
Postmaster Warren Lincoln ex-
plained. Christmas cards for lo-
cal delivery should be mailed be-
fore December 15, he said.
"ENVELOPES and packages
may be marked 'Do Not Open Un-
til Christmas' if desired," the post-
master advised. "Such notes are
permitted both on parcel post and
on regular mail, including Christ-
mas cards sent third-class with a
1 /-cent stamp."
He warned that envelopes of
third-class mail may not be sealed,
either by licking' the flap or by
closing with Christmas seals, al-
though Christmas seals may be
affixed to the back of the envel-
ope. Do not include written mes-
