she saw him coming down through
the air she ran to the door and
threw it open, shouting above the

Santa's pink face broke into a
merry smile at that. He stamped
around in the doorway. shaking of,

She chuckled and rushed off to
the kitchen. When she came back
into the big room she saw Santa
very busy in the window at one side
of the fireplace. He was digging
in a flower pot full Of good, brown
earth. Then he went to a white
cupboard, reached for little silver
box. and out of it he took some
thing very tiny.
What in the world are you do

why didn't you tell me that be-

"Oh, hush" said Mrs. Santa,

sit down and drink the hot choco-
late. I do declare. those wind fairies
are nice little bodies. but they make
it so cold" She froWned out the
window. where the wind fairies were
kicking up great snow furries.
So Santa sat down and took a
little talking doll on his lap while
he drank his hot chocolate. But
he was really quite discouraged.
He didn't make a toy for two weeks
after that.
Santa was most worried about
the good King Harald because he
had always been kind to his peo-
pie. Santa knew the King would
be worried. And so he was Little
winds came to Santa and told him
so.
Santa finally bestirred himself
and said. Nov. if I don't make an
other thing this year I'm going to
make Harald a present the like Of
which he's never SEEN"
That took a good bit of think
ing Finally Santa decided to carve
the King very fine pipe. Around
the bowl he planned to carve the
three kinds of workmen who we're
most important to Harald's king
dom. So he carved a farmer SOW

coal and a sailor sailing his boat.
1t was very fine pipe, but Santa
was worried it wasn't fine enough.
Suddenly he felt a. little pop"
on his wrist. and there stood the
Queen of Fairies laughing at him.
She said, I've been watching you.
Santa, can make that a very un-
usual pipe" She touched it with
her hand, and all three little carved
men stepped out onto Santa's hand.
Then the Queen of Fairies touched
the pipe again and the three little
men stepped right back. That pipe
was to be a great help to King

Grown-Up Play

There is an old joke about when
you give toy railroad train or au.
tomobile to a kid, that the father
likes it so well the kid can hardly
get it away from him. That is sug-
gested by the statement that 100000
adults in the United States own
some kind of a miniature railroad
They get no end of fun out of run
ming the trains around the curves,
and making the toy signal lights
flash.
This is probably an inheritance
from the old time American who was
skilful with tools. The old-timers
were accustomed to repair their own
tools and homes to greater extent,
rather than constantly call in me-
chanics. The modern American has
gotten away from that point of view.
Yet many of them still like to tinker
with tools, and so are very happy
with their miniature railroads. IT is
3 suggestion that more boys should
take advantage of this instinct by
entering the skilled mechanical
trades.
