SHOPPING GUIDE SHOPPING GUIDE Cheer an Invalid Friend With This Useful Gift By PENNY SAVER If you have: a friend who's confined to bed, either at home or in hospital, take along one of the handy containers that can be such a help to an invalid, next time you visit her, Ones I've seen are of white plastic, edged with foam rubber along the side that's tucked under the mattress. There are labelled sections for reading material, used tissues, reading glasses and handkerchiefs. This thoughtful little gift is moderately priced at $1.75. Busy housewives will appreciate household folders that contain four generous memo pads for itemizing things to be done during the day, phone messages and appointments.

Also enclosed plastic folders that measure four by nine inches are refill pads and a long, slender gold pencil. Holders, which are conveniently gift-boxed, come in either red, avacado, pink or blue. They sell at $1.25. One of the most useful little gimmicks I've seen for a long time is the sturdy plastic key cases that come complete with their own miniature flashlight. Ones I've seen selling at $2 are available in either white, black, grey or beige plastic with four key chains.

Tiny flashlight, included in the case will eliminate a fumbling and groping in the dark. Imported from England are man-sized key cases in warmtoned cowhide. These, too, have a handy built in flashlight and are an exceptionally good buy at $2.25. If you never have a pencil when you need one you'll 1 be interested in the smart little key chains that carry one along with them. Pencils measure about two inches in length, in gilded finish and are attached by a smooth, snake chain are to the key ring.

$1.25, these would provide a delightful gift for any busy woman, If you would like to know where Penny shopped today give her a ring at EV 2-3131.

"There is no comparison in the higher grades between children who have had this kind of training and those who have not."

There is no other doctor I want to go to because this one knows my history and is very competent. Can you give me any suggestions on how to handle the situation? I am so mixed up and ashamed I don't know what to do. TALKED TOO MUCH.
