Selecting the Right Gift

When choosing a gift, you should take into consideration the age, gender and interests of the recipient. A shopping trip found the local merchants offering a large assortment of gifts for everyone at reasonable prices.

For sister: hair ribbons, muff, fan, sachets, book, mittens; drawing pencils or paint set, sewing kit, doll

For brother: sled, skates, marbles, savings bank, stamp album, model train, toy soldiers, building blocks, shoeshine kit



For the minister: a magazine subscription, a message of good will from the congregation

For the policeman: pulse warmers, money

For the washerwoman: a turkey, new market basket

For the doctor: a carriage clock, pocket pencil, cash box for his office

And, of course, there are the usual clothing items and hand-made gifts.
