Everybody, more or less, is Sunta’s helper, from the blustery forester who grows Christmas treca to the tiny kiddie who secretly makes a gift for mother to hang on the tree, Some of the most enthusiastic of Santa's aide are already busy pre- paring to dispense happiness to the hundreds of kiddies of the Kiddie Klub, And they are such wonderful people, too—people so important in the big world of grownups that they are looked upon with awe and ad- miration for the wonderful things they have accomplished.

Soldiers as Housemaids Solve London’s Problems VERY day the London newspapers 4re filled with advertisements asking for servants of all sorts; and at the same time at one organization alone there are 159 names registered of ex-soldiers who want work in domestic service and are unable to obtain it, says the Lon- don Daily Mail. ‘This particular esgo- ciation is the Comrades of the Great War, which has its headquarters in Grosvenor-crescent, London, No doubt every association for the employment of ex-service men has its quota. Most of these men are willing to go to bachelor single-handed and un- dertake cooking, valeting and house- work, Many would go to a married couple and carry out all the work of | a small house, In the case of the married it ts Usually the woman of the house who ls averse to having an ex-soldier on her domestic staff, It is not the larger houses, where there are men servants in any case, but the little places—maisonettes, flate and. so forth, The average woman’ \- dices on this subject, $0 far as canbe gathered, are: (1) That these men eat more—this overwhelming argument ts always advanced against the poor fel- lows; and (2) that they are nat @a handy in certain little personal mat- ters, such as the mending of clothes. But if these are the objections against, the arguments for employing exX-soldiers are n ny. They can cook, they can scrub, they can wait at table; they can make beds, clean boots and silver; heavy work, such as breaking and carrying coals, cleaning windows, comes easily to them, All these things they will do in a day amilingly, without fatigue. Moreover, they are not afraid of “demeaning” themselves. A man who has fried sausages over a braster in the mud of Flanders has risen aboy > the petty prego of a Yellowplus'i, A
