Dear Santa Claus,
 Are you tired out looking around town for gifts for all of us and would you care for a few suggestions2 We would love to be helpful to you be- cause we know how overworked you must be, having left 50 much of your shopping until this last week.
 A few people told us what they wanted. Not in confidence or for pubHcity-but just happened to re- mark-you know how that sort of thing happens especially when you are in a position to repeat things. Some of the purchases can not he made in Phoenix, nor can they he shipped in but you may know how to manage. Coming down chimney makes such a difference you kno4v. By the way do not change that method it may not be as effective as handing a package, but it shows a finer sentiment.
 They are all unanimous as to the proper course for you to pursue with the Country club. There is but one thing for, Santy and that is to present them with some new mem bers, they would prefer those with ideas since you insist upon giving folk both what they want and what they need.
 A very practical present would be best for the Arizona club. IL requires 9 system whereby dues can be raised every month without any complaints from the members Being rather unique. you if anyone can supply the club with this plan carefully outlined
 Give the Bachelors club q check They will understand and take it the right way we are sure
 Mrs Leo Goldman wants m i'm personal inspiration,' whatever that means She's so clever one can't help noticing it even if it does embarrass one at times. All we could do was jot it down and smile and then we wondered if the smile should have been.
 How very much simpler is Judge Rents want Nothing better than a turkey said the former judge of the Superior court. Men really aren't the complex creatures that women are do you think Santa Claus And yet take the case of Mrs. Herbert Burr Atha She could ask for sapphire rings and things like that but all she said was I'm going away Mon- day. I want my friends to want me" Just between us they will-and you pull for 1t and for something else.
 We really hesitate to tell you but Ruth Griffen wants a husband. Such popular girl too eW had heard about-well we don't like to use names but we happen to know posi- lively that he has proposed three diff ferent times DidS you think it was some one else? Give her then cour- age to propose because its Leap Year.
 Ernest Bennett says that either d dog or girl will be acceptable Use your own judgment in dealing with this pitiful case.
 Emma Bennett who isn't his cousin or anything to him wants a million dollars. We thought she wanted 1T for charity it being Christmas and all that but being selfish society girl she says no it is for herself. i She has been entertained by every man in town since coming from Los Angeles and no one thought of any serious love affair She admits it and he told her frankly only a girl with millions need apply.
 Mrs. Francis H. Redewill would have you end the war She's bored 1 to death with Americans and would 1 like to run over to Paris for a few weeks in the spring.
