INVITE GROWN UPS TO
SEE SANTA'S MIX UP

Santa Claus has issued a request
that his friends, the Happy Workers
Of West Presbyterian Church, extend
a special invitation to their mothers
and fathers to be in attendance at
the third presentation OF that Mix
Up" of his tomorrow evening The
wording Of the request was almost as
puzzling as the Mix Up until it
was learned that some two hundred
mothers and fathers had been turned
away on Monday evening because so
very many of his little friends had
assembled to meet him that there
was no room for them, and that, he
thought. was not quite fair because
all parents are especially good friends
of Santa. He has been keenly puz-
zled about the matter and finally
after night Of serious deliberatiOn
he reached a conclusion this morning
which was. THAT, in case the little
friends should In their eagerness to
see him, forget their parents-he has
decided to allow no little girl or boy
to come to see him tomorrw evening
unless he or she bring mother or faith
er, or both: And in case they should
not be able to come. to bring an I'M
tit. aunt Ut bioWu-up lIituu as the
case may be"-so that the grown
ups" may have an opportunity 10 see
the Mix Up" as tomorrow evening
will be the occasion of the last pre-
sentation of the cantata. because
Santa simply must get back TO his
palace in ice and snow land He feels
sure that his little friends will be
just as eager for mother and father,
or uncle, or aunty, or cousin to see
him, too. and that, unanimously. they
will surely comply with. his special
request
BY actual count, more than one
thousand people witnessed the first
and second presentations of the can
tata. The doors will open promptly
at $50 o'clock tomorrow evening.
and Santa and his little helpers will
be there at o'clock to welcome the
mothers and fathers and as many OF
his little friends, the children. who
are careful not to forget to bring
their mothers and fathers with them.
