And he looked happy because be we* nood awl kind to evwyofte. So when the children quarreled or pouted we wetdd try to have them awlle and look Jolly, like Santa, whose picture we had among others we referred to, as moral or myth pictures, • As the children grow to. understand* more fully the meaning of' the t'hrist- mastlde we played a game, "Santa Writ," which meant that if they ah lowed each other or their playmates to play with their toys or gave them of their apples or cookies, they were playing Santa dims, because Santa Claus was unselfish-and divided what­ ever hp. hftd from his sack,. Sometimes when their 'playmates ■came, we wonhl say, “You'!! want to play ‘Santa 'Sack,' and away they would skip to distribute their toy* ilk* Santa. They delighted to play and he called Santa when they ran er­ rands, smiled or did something kind. Santa was u make-believe creature, as characters In poems which we read to them, such ns “.The, Raggedy Man," "Children’s • Hour," "Jack Sprat," “Hlawatlm.u Anyone who.. gave a .gift at any time (of year "was a Santa. And whenever iSnnttf Claus distributed gifts at school or at any public p’ace..they were delighted that someone wus playing Santa as they plnyed “bear," “doctor" nr “ teacher" in the home with their little friends. For anyone who Is unselfish, kind and cheerful Is to them n Santa Claus to someone else, . As they grew' older the Santa sqck Was woten Into a lesson story with the thought that euch of us has some­ thing in smiles, kind words and deeds to give to another all the time. For the real Santa gave much—all he .had—from his sack of treasures In Bethlehem long-ago! So Santa Claus means unselfishness, cheerfulness, kindness—many thlnas that ar? worth while to our children. —- Gertrude Walton. (g), 1S24, Western Newspaper Union.) =9 Toys Best for Children . "Manipulation" toys are best for children between the ages of two and - four; “dramatic" playthings best- be, tween four and sis. and “cOnstroctlon" playthings, such as radio outfits, games or 'toys that .teach the simpler branches of exact /sciences and those which exeiSIse and train the hands and brain in a somewhat advanced ■way are beat,—Georgh Newell Month HOW TO SAVE MONEV WHEN SHOPPING 1* * * M||, HARLAND H.

It is a false idea of economy that makes shoigrer buy.cheap all-wool serges and Saunas so thin and sleazy tlrnt they pvfil apart with the sewing. It Is mush.better to get part-wool dress goods that are firm and .of a durable color, where the question of the initial expense is a problem. While it dope always pay In the end to buy the best all-wool serges and flannels—remember you do no{ get these things for noth* tug. . . Silk at the price of cotion is a pit- fall that trips, up many an unwary, shopper,. Gootl mlks are expensive/ aud you need not be surprised that the “silk limousine gown” that cost you only ten dollars last summer scarcely lasted'the summer tlirough, Qnp. such. experience teaches us that It Is better to boy.a good quality of an unpreten­ tious fabric, than a poor quality of on expensive yme. Fqr instance, mercer­ ized foulards and mulls are much bet* ter buys' tlwn cheap silks that are weighted with, fif* salts and •other things that cause them to wear out quickly, and have very Uttle silk In them anyway. And after the third or fourth wearing, your freshly-laundered mull of cotton foulard will look much more attractive than a frayed and. wilted silk. On the same principle, any reason­ ing shopper ought to reflect when she sees “linen suiting" offered at ten and fifteen cents a yard, that It Is Impos­ sible to sell real linen nt that price, Tour, goods will be- only ■*cotton, starched arid glossed to look like linen. Or If they contain any linen at all, It Is woven from short threads, and has no strength. The “dressing”’ of starch will all come out" lu the yflrst wash, and leave you a cloth that Is thin, and weak.,. ■1 : Mnny shoppers who think they can­ not afford to pay, the first cost of good material^are always dressed in shod­ dy, badfy.flttlng clothes, and in tho long run spend more on dress thnnl the woman who knows how to invest In dependable grades.
