rienced in putting on an oyershoe on
high heeled shoes. This oyershoe has
an opening at the heel, through which
the heel of the inner shoe can project.
Around the edges Of the opening is an
elastic binder, adapted to closely en-
gage the shank Of the inner shoe. This
binder prevents water or moisture
from entering the overshoe through
the opening. The ease with which this
heelless overshoe can be placed on the
foot will be obvious, while it is at the
same time equally as seryiceable as
the ordinary overshoe.

q A FEY is Santa Claus sometimes
a "a called st. Nicholas? For
az E3 the most excellent reason
that Nicholas is the real
name Of the saint Until comparative
ly recent years there was no Santa
Claus at Christmas time. When the
old saint comes down the chimney
Dec. "a, Christmas eve, and deposits
gifts for the children in the suspended
stockings he is just nineteen days be-
hind time, for his true and proper
time is Dec. 5, that being the eve OF
ST. Nicholas day. Just how Nicholas
got to be the Christmas eve saint is
not altogether clear, but those ICON
oclasts who dig into ancient matters
are probing this secret They have
discovered, or claim to have discov-
cred, that the Christmas eve Santa
Claus really originated in America, be-
ing transported to England from New
York.
: In the saints calendar Dec. 6 Is St
Nicholas day. Nicholas was bishop OF
Myra, in Lycia. He Is believed to
have lived under the Emperors Dio-
cletian and Constantine and is the pa
tron saint Of poor maidens, sailors,
travellers, merchants and children.
Rich maidens, of course, are also quite
willing to acknowledge him when he
comes along with diamond dog coll
lars, necklaces and tiaras.
Before the great religious reformation
the custom Of giving presents on st.
Nicholas eve was general throughout
Christian Europe. When the worship
of the saints was abolished the prac-
tice died out in England, where for
about three centuries st. Nicholas fail
ed to visit households on the evening
of Dec. S to leave presents for good
children. By tie way, it should be
pointed out THAT Nicholas was noted
even +: infancy as particularly good
and pious child. Therefore his visits
are not made to bad children-only to
those whose parents can vouch for
their good behavior during the previous
year.
IL Austria, Holland and Poland st.
Nicholas eve is still observed. Good
children get presents. secretly left In
their shoes placed upon the hearth
stone for the purpose or in their stock
ings hung from the manteL When
New York was settled by Hollanders
the devout Dutchmen brought over to
America their religious customs, not
forgetting that of st. Nicholas eve. In
cid New Amsterdam the saint made
his visits the night of Dec.'5, st. Mich
olas day being celebrated by the set
tiers as holiday. In time the Dutch
were supplanted by the English, New
Amsterdam became New York. and the
old st. Nicholas eve gift giving custom
was reintroduced into England from
New York. But in England the GUS
tom of giftmaking on Christmas eve
had grown up. There was, however,
no Santa Claus ceremony. Gifts were
made outright and without secrecy.
When st. Nicholas sailed back to
England there was CONSERVATION
among fond papas and mammas in
the tight little isle.
'What! Shall we have two days Of
gift giving and less than three weeks
apart" they cried.
Thrifty English parents, it is sup
posed, determined that one day Of
giving was enough, and so they SIM
ply transferred st. Nicholas to Christ
maszeye.
