Patricia is a disconnected girl who
wants a new dress. Rabbits Foot, the
Wishbone girls, Four-leaf Clover girls,
and Horseshoe girls try to help her hut
she does not listen to their advice. Taf-
fee makes things worse by giving them
some powders Santa sent to him to take
to France, Germany, and Russia. Santa
is called by telephone. He feeds them
some powders full OF Christmas spirit and
all are made Happy. Santa's Remedy
contains a few grains of love, a sprinkle
of kind words, one third of kind acts and
as much again OF sunshine. The
Snow Man starts with ten Snow Boys,
but some melt and others fall TO pieces
until only one is left. Taffee brings his
snow man to lite by giving him one OF
the powders.
