Some are salt and peppers, a few are snow- whites. They can be clever or cozy, sophisticated or sentimental. Some bake terrific apple pies, others play a smashing game of tennis. Mothers are doc- tors, lawyers, company chiefs or just dear, old Moms. Whether they're 20 or 80 years old, the one thing they have in com- mon is their femininity. Mothers -are women and all women love the luxury of wonderful-smelling things. With a special mother (or grandmother or moth- er-in-law) in mind, the eas- iest way to find just the thing she'd love to unwrap on Mother's Day is to head for the fragrance department of your favor- ite store. Right now, coun- ters are blooming with gift ideas, all temptingly wrapped. The variety is endless. Whether your mother is a company pres- ident or a knitter of booties, you're certain to find the Special Thing. Here are some of our fav- orites: For a mother who is young and with it, look for Charlie by Revlon: con- centrated cologne spray in a flowery purse dispenser, flower-printed sachets in a miniature shopping bag, or a clear plastic hat box, holding six Body Silk bath goodies.

Give her a big box of body pow- der with its own fluffy puff, a bow-tied sachet to tuck in lingerie drawer or scent her note paper, or perfume and cologne with their own atomizers. To please a mother who is knowledgeable about fashion, we'd head straight for the designer fragrances. Bill Blass, for instance, manages to cap- ture the sexy-but-well-bred mood of his clothes with a modern fragrance in crisp, elegant packages. The perfume is divine and our special idea of heaven is the soap-a sensuous-feel- ing, big bar or four smaller ones in a neat box. And, Norell. One could buy anything in the superb white-and-black Norell array anci be sure to de- light. The dean of Ameri- can designers personally chose the first Norell fragrance, and that's enough for us. The sequel, Norell Il, is just as big a hit as the first; you might splurge on one of each. We detect the fine Ital- ian hand of Princess Mar- cella Borghese in the warm, poetic fragrances that bear her name. Keep them in mind for a mother who collects lovely things. And, more: we'd give Cerissa to a mother who is delicate and pretty, Ciara to a self-assured, womanly woman and Ultima to the one who loves jewels and furs and enjoys beng a sybarite. On the Big Day, we'd add some fresh flowers or a plant and present it with love.† Inflation De-Flaters There are some things you can do to battle infla- tion, fortunately. Consu- mer advisors recommend these measures: Do your departnent- store shopping during traditional sales whenever possible. Most stores have white sales during January, for example, so plan ta make your linen purchases at that time. Be sure and plan your meals in advance, ta make food shopping expeditions mare efficient. Another way ta cut down on gro- cery bills is ta avoid buying non-food items at the supermarket, where they may be higher. -mmlmmý
