well nearly all, and probably more
mammas than anything read this
column to find out what's cooking.
But you see, Christmas is coming
!. surprised? And I think that
sometimes columns should be for
girls and boys too. So this column
is for girls and boys with mamma
taking a quick peek now and then
to see what they can buy, and
dad too for hints on what to buy
mamma. ALI ready kids?

To get on about our visit with
Santa Claus, sneaking up behind
Santa's left ear, did bit of
eavesdropping. although Mrs. Mar
dis and her big camera made me
slightly nervous and l had to keep
ON ducking out Of the way as she
took pictures of various children
on old ST. Nick's knee.
Mary Lee came up and shyly
asked for a doll carriage, a check
er set and q chair at least
she said her name was Mary Lee.
Alice, she Of the missing front
teeth. only wanted a high chair
for her dolly. and Michael who
said he'd been a very good boy
asked for an airplane. Tiny Craig.
Michael's little brother thought d
football might help him to grow
faster.
There were q couple of bis
fellows there too. don't know
Just why they were there, they
didn't look like believers 10 me.
but Santa gave them gum and
balloon hSt the same.
