bells, Santa Claus in person appeared
UPON the scene He informed the girls
that he had made q special trip in or
der that they might not be disappointed
Then he opened his pack and presented
gifts to all good children. Naturally
every Kahlert camper received token
OF dear Santa's regard. Perhaps the
abundance OF gifts may explain the
unusual activity at the craft house on
Christmas morning, where car token
cases, book marks, bracelets, arm bands,
pocketbooks, pendants and other trim
kets had grown from scraps of leather
and oilcloth under skillful fingers.
Activity at the craft house has not

morning finds room full of happy girls

be belts. fooled leather purses tied and
dyed scarfs, reed baskets ana mono
