"That's the ggg nine hundred and ninety -ninth time that bell ’ has run* this k mornin*," said lLk ’*r W the old la-dy rather croasly. This was the message that reached their ears—a little *irl who spoke in a whinin*. complaining voice: "Dear Santa, you needn't bother to send me such a mean, old present a* you did last Christmas. My daddy is a very, very rich man and I want a bi* diamond bracelet. as bi* as my mother's, so that all the little girls in the block will envy me. Don't give anybody else one. You’ll send it. won't you, dear Santa Claus, to me. Mia* Barbara of Richfolk Boulevard?" "No. 1 will not!” We thundered back, and then he replaced the receiver with a snap and aat down to his dinner. Do you wonder be was cross? ! "I am sick of this business,” he said, entirely forgetting what.cap hi* wtfs had on her bead. ”1 have a good mind to let the children go without Christmas thia year, t They are *ll growing up a* selfish as little pigs. What do they think Christmas was made for. I wonder?" Now. if Mr*.

You are growing old and getting so fat I don’t aee how you can possibly get down any chimney, even the great, old-fashioaed ones, and I should think the thin, modem one* would squeeae you to death."

mischiet had been dor*, and there wss no remedy for it Santa slammed his knife and fork on the table, jumped up from hit chair and rushed into the bedroom, flinging hit boots out of the window. and putting on his red flannel night cap and green dressing gown and went to bed. Now. there was one very queer thing about Banta Claus. When he got so very upset that he wouldn't eat his dinner he always went to bed and slept 24 hours and h* wouldn't wake up no matter what -happened. So Christmas was upset for that year. And all on account of a selflsh little girl, a foolish wife and a telephone! <Ta •* Csminusdl .

1 Wax From Candles Calls for Caution With so many candles placed about the home to give a festive air durin* the holiday season, candle was drippings dnrrugs, tablecloths. and mantels are almost inevitable. Wax spots on rugs can usually be removed successfully by first scrap- * in* off as much waa a* possible with s dull knife and then ipoeg.n* with earbon tetrachloride. When you scrape up th* wax. be careful not to injure th* yarns. If the candle was colored and a stair remains, try spor gin* it lightly with a liquid made of two parts of water and one part of denatured (rubbing) alcohol. As a precaution against fading, test this mixture first on an inconspicuous part of the rug. Wax that Has run down from candleholders onto your best linen tablecloth can be removed by th* same method of first scraping—bein* very careful not, to injure the fiber or thread—and then sponging with carbon tetrachloride If the stain is colored, use the solution suggested for a colored spot on a rug. after you’ve used carbon tetrachloride. Again you are urged to test an inconspicuous spot for pnssible fading from use of the solution. ,-1 - ’•!* ■rft : BOYS WILL BE BOYS ... agße tbs apeclaealar mease . that Aadrea Kleeaek to die-ptaytag.-Raada Ctaaa beta* the jolly and andirstandlng old geat ihat he to ae deaM will let Uh sevea-ycar-eM est with a waratag that Ume to rannfag eat fee goad behavior. a y—!- a
