Miss Seaman said, and then choose an appropriate wrapper. The usual red, white ' and green "holly and berries" designs de-signs are "out as far as styles go. Numerous artistic panoramic - scenesin various shades and tints make thoughtful selection of design de-sign necessary. A harmonizing ribbon, either of paper or silk, should be chosen. It may be a solid color or multicolored. The actual wrapping should be done on a flat, smooth surface with plenty of room such as an uncluttered table. Size of the paper is important. It should be slightly longer than two times the width and depth. The paper should be cut at right angles to the edges. The length of the paper should be equal to the length of the package pack-age plus its depth plus one inch, Miss Seaman advised. The paper is placed design side down on the table. The package is also placed face down in hte exact center of the paper. Fold the two large ends of the paper to the back, overlapping them. Miss Seaman, head of the Auerbach wrapping department, has found a quick drying cement or glue to be helpful in keeping the overlapping edges in place. Always keep the paper tight and ends even. The remaining sides should next be "dented" in with the forefinger to give a shovel effect. After folding each side of the "shovel" in. a triangle Is left, which should be .cemented in place. The wrapping is completed by the placing of a ribbon and seals. For women, the style is fluffy bows and numerous bands. A man's package is simplified or "tailored" with as few "gee-gaws" on It as possible, Mias Seaman said.
