did cause two of the guests some
confusion, though, when they played
'Now, Is the Hour" when 1t was
only 7 o'clock!
Shortly after the party began al
one stepped down the steps into
the drawing room, almost the first
persons to be seen were Associate
Justice Of the Supreme Court and
Mrs. Robert jackson, and Civil
Service Commissioner, Miss Frances
Perkins. The latter said she
rarely goes to afternoon parties
but that the Makins were such par
ticular friends she couldn't miss this
one. Coming up to greet her were
Sir Willmott and Lady Lewis, and
not far away Canadian Ambassador
and Mrs. Wrong were deep in con-
versation with friends.
AS always the entrance of the In
dian Ambassador and his family
drew much attention because OF
the beauty of the ladies.
. The envoy's wife, Lady Rama Rau
wore gorgeous orange silk sari
bordered in black and gold, and her
daughter, who was accompanied by
her husband, Mr.. N. M. Wagle, was
stunning in a beige silk sari with
: q bare midriff.
: The president of the International
Bank, Mr.. John j. McCloy, and his
wife, who has as much charm and
esprit as any woman in Washington
talked to their good friend, Maj
Gen. John H. Hilldring. The man.
aging director of the international
Monetary Fund, Mr.. Camille Gutt
was another of the well-known
figures present as were Gen. Sir
William Morgan, British military
chief here and the Chief of Naval
Operations and Mrs. Louis Denfeld
The latter was exceptionally smart
in brown, with a small brown felt
hat with swooping feathers, brown
dress and brown mink cape.
The new British naval head ir
Washington, Admiral Sir Frederick
Dalrymple-H Hamilton, was there with
his tall, slim daughter who really
has name to live up to. She is
Miss Christian MISREPRESENTATION
The chief of the Australian Military
Mission, Maj. Gen. John A. Chap
man, was also present with his wife
and they had a picture with them
of their pretty daughter-in-law to
be, Miss Judy Roches of Adelaide
Australia. Mrs. Chapman will &C

son, Capt Austin Chapman, to Miss

their own.
Just how conflicting U. S. and
British policy in Palestine can
be reconciled, and how peace
may be secured, is the great
question. The crystal ball is
clouded now. But everyone is
agreed that it must be done if the
world is to have the vital Middle
Eastern oil, and the Western
powers plans for world rehabil-
itation are to go through.
What is the outlook for bust
ness activity, prices, wages, ETC.,
for the next year or SO?
The economists seem to be in
reasonable agreement. There is
no foreseeable decline in indus
trial production in general. No
one is talking about depresslons,
except as a very long range pos
sibility. Employment, conse-
quently, will remain high.
More wage increases are Oh
the way-General Motors recent
agreement with the auto workers
probably indicates the pattern.
1t is expected that there will
be some rise in commodity
prices. perhaps averaging three
Or tour per cent by the end OF
the year. Some prices will ma
turally go up more than others.
The new Ford cars, dis an eX-
ample, cost about per cent more
than the previous models. Only
moderate increases in food prices
are forecast.
The influence of the prepared
ness program, which will cost
about 100000 during the
next fiscal year, is being watch
ed closely. This coming on top OF
the European Aid Program, Will
place another heavy burden on
basic industries. That drain may
he severe in the case of materials
now in short supply. From the
consumers point OF view, IL Will
be marked by a smaller produc-
ton of automobiles and similar
goods than would be the case
otherwise.
There is a possibility that the
tax cut given income taxpayers
this year may not be continued
in the next. 1t all depends on
the relationship between Federal
income and outgo. Neither party,
in an election year, seems Will
ing to do much more than Talk
about government economy.

SANTA CLAUS.
(Frons L. G. S., Wdshington.)
I wonder If this comes too late.
About three weeks ago one of your
readers inquired about breaking the
news gently to her little girl con-
corning the existence OF Santa
Claus" She stated that she recol-
lected a very convincing article to
the effect that there is in reality q
Santa Claus, but was unable to re-
member the title.
I believe the following article is
the one to which this lady refers,
and If 1t is not too long perhaps you
may care to include 1t in your val
liable column in the hope that II 1t
is unseen by the inquirer perhaps
there are others who would be bene-
flted by 1t during the approaching
season.

universe Of ours man is q mere IN
sect, an ant, In his intellect, as COM
pared with the boundless world

gence capable Of grasping the whole
Of truth and knowledge.
Eyes, Virginia, there is a Santa
Claus. He exists as certainly as love
and generosity and devotion exist,
and you know that they abound and
give to your life its highest beauty
and joy. Alas! How dreary would
be the world If there were no Santa
Claus! It would be as dreary as If
there were no Virginias. There
would be no childlike faith then, no
poetry, no romance to make tol-
erable this existence. We should
have no enjoyment, except in sense
and sight. The eternal light with
which childhood fills the world
would be extinguished.
Not believe in Santa Claus! You
might as well not believe In fairies!
You might get your papa to hire
men to watch In all the chimneys
on Christmas eve to catch Santa
Claus coming down, what would
that prove? Nobody sees Santa
Claus, but that is no sign that there
Is no Santa Claus. The most real
things In the world are those that
neither children nor men can see.
DID you ever see fairies dancing on
the lawn? OF course, not, but that's
no proof that they are not there.

the wonders that are unseen and
unSeeable in the world.
