Non-alcoholic beverages provide flavorful and thoughtful alternative at holiday parties As the holidays approach, it's time to think about getting together with old friends ...and meeting new ones. It's a season of joy and celebration. For many of us, celebration means en- tertaining. Whether it's a large tree «rim- ming party or just a close group of friends getting together for drinks, the holiday season is the perfect time to entertain. When it's your turn to give the party, why not offer some delicious non-alco- holic beverages along with the classic drinks? Your alternative drinks can be pleasing, no alcohol versions of the old fa- vorites. They can also be something new that will soon become an "old favorite."

Tips for holiday shopping by mail By LILLIAN VERNON Holiday shopping can -- and ought to be a pleasant and satisfying experience. Truth is, very often just the thought of it is enough to make one's nerves stand on end! Shopping by mail eliminates many of the hassles and tensions associated with Christmas shopping -- no crowds to fight, no traffic to contend with, no hours to fol- low but your own! In the 34 years I've been in the mail or- der business, I've learned a lot -- from my own experiences and from our customers' correspondence -- about how to shop vir- tually pain-free by mail or phone, and I'd like to share a few ideas with you now. © Read the descriptions about the items you're interested in ordering very care- fully. Make certain you pay special atten- tion to sizes, color choices, dimensions, features, weights, personalization, prices and delivery charges. If you have any questions, phone the CUSTOM VERTICAL & VENETIAN BLINDS company you're ordering from and ask about the product . . . that way, there will be no surprises when your order arrives. ¢ Be sure that the return policy is clearly stated in the advertisement or cata- log, and that it is one you're comfortable with. Check to see whether satisfaction is guaranteed. © Take your time when you' re filling out the order form. Be sure that you've pro- vided all information requested and that your handwriting is legible. Before you send your order off, it's a good idea to read it over a second time. * Don't send cash! Use a check or money order, or charge your order to a major credit card. © Make a copy of your order as well as a copy of your check or money order. Keep LILLIAN VERNON ordered from, in your files in case you should have to refer to them. e If it's necessary for you to return mer- chandise for any reason, be certain to ask the Post Office or the shipping company to provide you with a "return receipt." This document will let you know that your package was delivered to the company, and it will serve as your proof of return. © Order early! Stocks are most plentiful when you receive a company's advertise- ments. The longer you wait to order, the larger the risk that the item you want may be sold out. Holiday mail order shopping is fun, convenient and, if you follow the sugges- tions above, fool-proof. If you haven't shopped by mail or phone before, I invite @PLEATED SHADES © 0%...
