The other Santa Claus
Recently, in lea6ng through some
British magazines, noticed that Father
Christmas has become much more like
our own Santa Claus - a round, CHEEKY
fellow in a bright red suit. And I'm
sure that British children love him as
much as we.
But still like to think that in some
quaint, untouched corner of Eng land,
my other Santa Claus, 'Father Christ
mas" still wanders the village lanes with
the merry little Turnspit Dog dancing at
his heels! -THE END

extra early OH Christmas,
and slip down the back

"Of course, there are
no turnspits now," Mrs.
Dustin told me. "But the

One Christmas morning, Mrs. Dus-
tin told me, in one of the richest houses
in England the usual hustle of prepara-
tions had begun. And the Turnspit Dog
was running his little legs off, too tired
even to whimper. No one had time to
worry about him. Suddenly there was a
knock at the kitchen door, and tall fig
ure stood on the threshold. The servants
fell back in awe, for they knew it was
Father Christmas himself!
He looked about the kitchen and his
eye fell on the Turnspit Dog. "Can no
one help the little beast?'' he asked. ''He
is ready to drop"

The servants all said that they were
so terribly busy themselves, they had no
time to help the Turnspit Dog.
''Then / must take the time," said
Father Christmas. Setting his big sack
on the hearth, he took the little dog in
his arms and laid him gently on the sack.
Then he rolled back his sleeves, seized

Are you singing the blues?
No doubt you do at times be-
cause we all are subjected to
our varying moods. Perhaps
it is just as well that this is
true. Even sheer joy might
become as boring as a diet
of honey if this were our only
experience.
The shading Of our moods,
from ecstacy to despair, gives
life tone and depth. How
ever, when you are feeling
depressed 1t is no fun at the
time. Remember. though,
that the low mood is nothing
to worry about unless it is
habitual.
Sometimes when you are
vaguely unhappy, it is posi-
BILE to search out the reason.
At other times you feel sunk
for no apparent reason.

Perhaps you have pushed

out taking little rest periods.
Maybe you have been so over

A dressing table Is neceS-
sary to a woman's morale.
It can be oblong, round,
kidney-shaped or triangular.
Some have arms that swing
open from the center Of a
kidney-shaped table as in
the top illustration, and 9TH
ers are merely q shelf built
into the corner Of q room
as in the bottom illustration.
They can be dressed in or
CANDY, chintz, gingham or
just about any fabric you
wish. The decor of your bed
room will help you decide
what fabric to use.
I've chosen one Of the
most popular types for you
to make ~. the kidney shaped
table with a mirror top as
in the top illustration. This
type is generally covered
with a frilly shirt Of organdy
with a matching or con-
trasting lining. To make it:
l. First, m e asure the
length from top Of table to
floor. Then for width, meas
ure the sides and around to
center front and add 6 inches
or 8 inches for the extension
in the back (return). You'll
need two outer skirt sections
and two lining sections since
it has the swing out arms
in the center front.
2. For width of skirt, allow
2 times the measurement Of
table width. Cut one section
for each side. For length
allow 21a inches for seam and
heading at top and a marrow
hem at bottom.
8. Cut 4 strips for ruffles,
the width you desire, 2 times
longer than width of skirt.
