This is the case of one who de scribes herself as a “buxom brunet widow, “somewhat faded”—rare frankness there. “I am tired of hustling my own grub; I want a cozy nook ina pretty garden, with pinks and tullps bor- dering the walks, “I want a tall, stately man, re ~ sembling the fir tree, but not an evergreen, please. Must be genial, but not too genial away from home. “I am a dandy housekeeper and ean play “The Maiden’s Prayer.’ Am home loving: I want to eettle down to old age with some modern old chap who * willing to settle ‘with me.” If there is a ‘tam stately man, Not too green, who wants to settle down in a tullp-bordered cottage, where good cooking is mingled with “The Maiden's Prayer,” here's @ chance. eee WANT a Santa with real whiskers.” My youngest thus informed me, after a recent tour of the shopping district, where various pseudo-Santas are on exhibition When a 3-year-old can, without ation, detect the transparent @inguise of a fake Santa, it is ime that something was I remember when Santa Claus died for me; even the untimely de- ease of my cur pup did not leave me so desolate.

Almost anything may be forriv en by the eye of faith, but the fal sity of those whiskers—that is the unpardonable sin % One of these fake Santas makes Sak practice, after the child whis pers his heart's desire in his ear, of saying: “Well, we'll see your other about that, and if she thinks it is good for you, it may be arranged.” Bah!
