But they aren't the only ones whose gifts present a sorry sight with bulgy paper covering and loose string that portends early dis-integration of the wrapping. Even some women confess that they wrap their gifts several times before their appearance is satisfactory. The best of "wrappers" are only amateurs, however, compared with the girls in large department stores who "gift wrap" all dy long. For most articles whose shapes make wrapping difficult they have an effective solution: "Corrugate it." This means that the bundle is wrapped lengthwise and sidewise in corrugated paper before putting fan-cy Christmas paper around It "Cor-rugation will cover a multitude of shapes," they explain. They sug-gest five steps when wrapping sim-ple packages: 1. Fold the paper over the bundle. Line up the two open sides, then fold them back two or three Inches to prevent paper cuts by getting the sharp edge of the paper out of the way. 2. Draw folded paper snug. The paper should be made to rest tightly around the lengthwise section of the bundle. 3. FnlH in the ends. Holding the, package as shown in drawing num-ber 2, turn the corners diag-onall- v inward. The pointed section that remains is then folded back against the side of the package. 4. Wind string around package First wind the string around th bundle lengthwise and then make a "figure 8" knot. This is an erdi-nary slip knot that is turned once before it is slipped. It looks like a figure 8 when tied and makes a per-fect slip knot. 5. Tie the string. After the string is run through the figure 8 knot lengthwise, simply continue the string around the bundle sidewise, and tie the ends of the string. Extra care in wrapping will make even the most inexpensive gifts more presentable. Private Papers of Cub Reporter: Thornton Wilder was recently re-calling his last visit to London . . .

BRITISH DIPLOMACY The British barring of Russian Ambassador Lltvinoff from an air-plane en route to the U.S.A. has in-creased Washington whispers that it is about time the British did something to clean up their mori-bund diplomatic service and cut out snubs to people who are trying to help them. It has long been the belief of Americans, too polite to mention it, that the British embassy in Wash-ington can make more mistakes to the square inch even than Mr. Hull's state department and many of the state department's mistakes come from trying so ardently to ape the British. For years the British embassy has sat on its hilltop, well removed from the bustle of Washington, and looked with slightly disdainful amusement upon the hoi polloi of congress. An invitation to the Brit-ish embassy in those good old days was considered by the dowagers as better than an invitation to the White House. But those good old days, un-fortunately both for the dowagers and the embassy, are gone, never to return. However, the embassy appears completely unaware of that fact. And its charming young men go their charming way, saying sometimes too audibly: "We must be nice to Americans"; while the real work of defending Britain takes place in the British Purchasing com-missio-largely under the direc-tion of hard-boile- d Canadians and Australians. Viscount Halifax is one of the most delightful and genteel persons ever to grace the embassy. He tries hard. But hard as he tries, he cannot overcome the bubbling Charles Penke, who minces around him as if his lordship still were viceroy of India with white and crimson-costume- d Sikhs mounted on black chargers outside his pal-ace, In Calcutta, Instead of being in a city where politics are very earthy and where the congress-man's wife from Keokuk has a lot more influence than the pink tea protocol experts usually seen at the British embassy. WASHINGTON SOCIETY Washington is a city where de-bate may rage furiously on the floor of the senate, but simmer down to friendly story-tellin- g in the ante-room or around the dinner table afterward. This is not always the case, however, and sometimes Washington society becomes so aroused that it is dangerous to in-vite certain strong-minde- d people to dinner. This was true during the fight over Roosevelt's Supreme court bill; and during the Roosevelt-Willki- e elec- - tion campaign; and it is somewnat true during the neutrality controver-sies today. Old hands at the game of controversy, however, manage to keep their tempers. For instance, seated near each other at dinner the other night were Sen. Burt Wheeler, than whom there is no more ener-getic isolationist, and Undersecre-tary of the Navy Forrestal, just as energetically interventionist. Wheeler was talking about the re-cent neutrality debate, telling how Roosevelt forces influenced votes by promising jobs and dishing out pa-tronage. Interrupted Undersecretary Forrestal: "Senator, did the neutrality fight reach the depths of your fight to pass the Wheeler-Raybur- n act?" (The Holding Corporation act.) "No," shot back Senator Wheeler, "I didn't have the patronage." The two men continued a good-nature- d discussion of neutrality, Wheeler maintaining that time would prove that his anti-wa- r stand was right. After the war, he con-tended, history would reverse the present tide of war sentiment and there would be a revulsion of feel-ing if not a virtual French revolu-tion. "And when the guillotine ax be-gins to fall, senator," said Forrest-al as he departed, "will you be my attorney?" FINNS VS. NAZIS Intelligence reports from Europe for the first time indicate friction between German and Finnish troops on the eastern fronts. The Finns are sore because the Nazis have been living off the country and have not been at all scrupulous in paying Finnish peasant for pigs, cows and chickens. On top of this, the Nazis recently ousted Finnish children from an orphanage at Rovaninemi and used it for the general staff. This made the Finns boil with anger CAPITAL CHAFF The government is paying out more money than ever before in his-tory for use of the wires and ether. Even with reduced rates for official messages, the tolls for telegraph, telephone, cable and radio are tre-mendous. Every time a government official picks up the telephone to make an outside call, Uncle Sam pays three cents, the wholesale rate. In tele-graph messages the government gets a 40 per cent discount, though there is a minimum charge of 20 cents Leaders Discuss Vital Labor Questions h? 111 rr'V'j f c4c- - .5 X-- fl J V ' . , s.. - j. ,ujvjiij Congressional leaders and departmental heads who were called to the While House by the President for a discussion on labor legislation. .Shown as they arrived are (left to right) Rep.

To raise money for a community tree, preferred stock was sold in "Cleveland, the City of Good Will (Unlimited), Incorporated." It was listed at the head of other securities on the Cleveland Stock exchange. Although no personal solicitations were allowed, more than $12,000 was realized from the sale. A communi-- , ty celebration was held around the t, illuminated tree that was erected in the public square. The next Christmas brought a ver-itable avalanche of community Christmas trees throughout the country. The idea has become al-most a national custom, with more than 15,000 American cities and towns setting up their own commu-nity trees during the Christmas sea son.
