SANTA'S ELVES The little elves who help Santa in his workship probably came from the Scandinavian countries. In Norway, Den- mark and Sweden, children are told of the " Tomtar, " little gray -bearded, elf -like men who hide presents for boys and girls on Christmas Eve. TOYS, GAMES IN CHILDREN'S CARDS Christmas cards for children are games as well as greetings. Many cards designed especially to be sent to children include small illustrated story books in card form, punch -out cutouts, sewing games and even a toy train complete with a real whis- tle, to be made up by its small recipient. One card for an infant in- cludes a tiny teddy bear in oil cloth which Mom can sew to- gether and stuff. Some of us don't know what we want, but feel sure we dont have it. The tree is such an integral part of Christmas that some Canadians who live in the prairies where the fir, pine or balsam may not grow in profusion, call all evergreens "Christmas trees," Decorating the tree for Christmas is an established custom. And fast -becoming another estab- lished custom is the gift plant. In this photograph a pot of golden yellow mums has a place of honor beside the tree. Long after all the gifts are unwrapped and the last crumb of pudding is eaten, the flowers on this plant will still bloom, reminding everyone of a Merry Christmas past and expressing hope for a good New Year to come.—Photo by Malak, Ottawa. Coffee Makes the Cake Now an integral part of our culture, the coffee bread had its beginnings about three hundred years ago when the Turkish in- vaders took coffee to Vienna with them. The first coffee house was opened there and soon establishments appeared all over Europe and England where men met to sip coffee and engage in stimulating discussions about politics and literature for hours on end. Contemporary life seldom allows us the luxury of hours to spare to spend in idle conversation, but the relaxation of a cof- fee break is enjoyed daily, in home and office. A sweet con- fection is welcome with the fragrant beverage and Coffee Crumb Cake will fill the bill perfectly the next time you're hostess for the neighbourhood "kaffee klatch". COFFEE CRUMB CAKE (1, 9 -inch square) 2-3/4 cups once -sifted all-pur- pose flour OR 3-4 cups once - sifted pastry flour 1-I cups granulated sugar 4 teaspoons baking powder 2 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon nutmeg 2 teaspoons cinnamon 2/3 cup chilled shortening 2 eggs, well -beaten 14 cups cold water 2 teaspoons instant coffee 1 teaspoon vanilla 3/4 cup finely chopped nuts Preheat oven to 350 deg. F. (moderate), Grease a 9 -inch square cake pan. If glass oven- ware is to be used, reduce oven temperature to 325 deg. F. (moderately slow). Sift together the flour, bak- ing powder, salt and spices in- to a large mixing bowl. With a pastry blender, cut in shorten- ing until mixture resembles corn meal. Reserve 2/3 cup of this crumb mixture for top of cake. To remaining mixture in bowl add combined beaten eggs, the instant coffee dissolved in the water and the vanilla. Mix lightly until combined. Pour into prepared pan. Add chopped nuts to reserved crumb topping; sprinkle evenly on top of cake. Bake in preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes or until cake tests done in center. Serve warm or cold, cut into squares or fingers, Wingham Advance -Times, Thursday, Dec. 12, 3.963 — page features from The World of Wormer IN THE LIBRARY By DORIS O ML KIr313ON Arvid the swirl of life, one occasionally needs a breathing space. Two books I have to fill that joyous time, First THE NICE YOUNG MAN by Walter L, Honer is purely a suspense story. One reads it with shivering horror and wonders if it could happen here. I think it could; not that it would. To precipitate the action one would need a "nice young man" such as Dick Barndt. I can only fervently hope such a twisted creature will not ma- terialize. I should hate to see Wingham put to the test. The central figure in this narrative is Tom Atwood, a professional photographer. He had moved to a small centre three years before and hoped to live and raise his family there, instead of in a city. A com- promising situation led to threats, blackmail, violence even fear of death. Almost all of Tom's so-called "friends" slipped away and supported Barndt, "one of their own". The book is very simple and short. It attempts little in the way of explanation, just enough to satisfy. This stuation, on a lesser scale does arise in many small towns. It there an anti- dote for the poison? I think there is, The second book LEAVES OF MALICE by Robertson Davies is set in a small Canadian pro- vincial city. This light book differs from tne other in that it is delightfully and excruciating- ly funny. A false announcement of an engagement is inserted in the "Evening Bellman". This du- bious joke was meant to wound ATTEND FUNERAL Visitors with Mrs. George Coulter on Saturday were Mr. and Mrs. William McCutcheon and Mr, and Mrs. Harry Work- man of Brussels, Mr. and Mrs. Morgan Jones, Clinton, Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Moores, Seaforth, Mr. James Coulter, Goderich, Mrs. John Pym, Kincardine, All attended the funeral of their aunt, Mrs. Robert Arbuckle. Others who attended were Mr. and Mrs. Gowland,; Strat- ford, Mr. and Mrs. Ted Kim- ball, Verdun, Que., Mr. and Mrs, Robert Arbuckle, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Kimball and Miss Alice Arbuckle, of Tor- onto. Use the Cream to Suit Your Needs Face creams can never do from the outside what can only be done through the blood- stream — nourisn or feed the skin. They affect only the sur- face of the skin but they do help to clean it and keep it soft. They serve an additional pur- pose since the massaging with which you apply the cream is very healthy for the skin and tissues. As with all beauty practices, however, so with skin creams:' routine is the important thing. Just as merely remembering to stand correctly throughout the day is a better exercise and fig- ure controller than expensive foundation garments or in fre- quent bouts of violent reducing exercises; so the light appli- cation of a cleansing cream at least once every day and of a softening cream with massage to face and throat every night (five minutes could cover both operations) is better than elab- orate but less regular treatment: with expensive creams or "packs". WHEN YOU SHOP In buying face creams make sure you get the right kind of cream to suit your purpose and your skin, To suit your pocket- book should be quite simple since efficient and pure creams of all three types can be bought reasonably. Government in- spectors see that no cosmetic contains impurities or harmful substances but there are no stan- dards of efficiency which a manufacturer must meet apart from these two points. If you use creams regularly — that is, at least daily — you would be wise to get large size jars as ounce for ounce this is cheapest. If you do not use creams as a part of your daily routine — just when you "think of it" — you had better buy smaller quantities at a time since creams will dry out and have to be discarded. CLEANSING CREAMS These are the creams we know as "cold" creams and "quick -liquefying" creams. Cold creams are basically a mixture of beeswax, mineral oil and borax with water and are called "cold" because they have a cooling effect when rub- bed into the skin. A cold cream is best for cleaning a dry skin and is better for any but a really oily complexion during the winter when the air in our homes is hot and dry. "Quick - liquefying" cleans- ing creams can easily he dis- tinguished from cold creams by appearance alone, They are a mixture of mineral oil and par- affin waxes and so are not as white and are more translucent. They melt rapidly on the skin and are easily spread but are not quite as efficient in cleans- ing the skin and are more dry- ing than cold cream. They are more suitable for anyone with oily skin, however, and are handier for a quick cleaning of the complexion during the day or before your evening date as they are so much easier to ap- ply and remove than the heav- ier cold cream. No cream is as efficient in cleaning the skin as soap and water but remember that in re- moving the dirt the soap and water also removes all the skins natural oils and so should be followed by at least a little cream to protect the skin from drying until more of the skin's own natural oils can be secret- ed, EMOLLIENT CREAMS This type is sold under many names such as "lanolin cream, " "dry skin cream," or "lubricat- ing cream." If you like tomas- sage your face and throat and leave the cream on overnight or while taking a bath, a cream of this type is much better than a cold cream as it has no dtying effect. FOUNDATION CREAMS The third common type of face cream usually goes by this name or "vanishing cream," and both are used as a base for powder and rouge. The vanish- ing creams are an emulsion of stearic acid, stearate soap and water. This cream forms a thin film over the skin and then ap- pears to "vanish: Some foun- dation creams are of an entire- ly different type and have a base similar to that used in stage "grease paints." These creams are not intended to van- ish" but help to cover skin im- perfections as well as form a powder base and are therefore tinted to blend with the differ- ent shades of powder. ALL PURPOSE CREAMS Some creams are offered by their manufacturers as efficient for all three cream require- ments -- cleansing, softening and powder foundation. These are usually "cold" creams with the addition of one or more vegetable oils and lanolin. The use of a cream of this sort will not harm the skin but since the properties of the three types of cream are quite different and as each type is the result of wide scientific research by the vari- ous cosmetic companies, it is obvious that no one cream should be expected to fill such different requirements. Gloster Ridley, editor of the newspaper, Pearl Vambrance, daughter of a college professor, and Soloman Bridgetower, a junior instructor in English. To quote Jevon Knapp, Dean of the Anglican cathedral this malice "works like leaven; it stirs and swells and changes all that sur- rounds it:' He knew whereof he spoke because be too was" touched by the disturbance as were also Pearl's parents, Rid- ley's housekeeper, Shilllto, an elderly editorial writer (did you ever hear such names? —that's part of the fun too), not to merr tion a host of other persons. Robertson Davies makes a great deal out of the many humorous situations in the book. A glimpse into the newspaper world reveals some interesting facts about editorial writing and even obituaries! His tongue is almost glued to his cheek most of the time. The book is worth reading if only to revel in the antics of the hapless victims of the plot when they fall into the hands of an enthusiastic ex - recreation director conducting a party. Equally funny is the rout- ing outing of the professional psycholo- gist by Professor Vambrance. No psychologist should even mention tne Oedipus complex to the head of the Classics de- partment. The title of the book is fasc- inating and appropriate. How many good Anglicans can iden- tify it? DEDICATION AT ST. PAUL'S CHURCH Rev. C. F. Johnson dedicat- ed a Communion Office book at the morning service in St. Paul's on Sunday. The book was a gift from Miss Ann Henry, donated in memory of her sister Elizabeth, Mrs. C. H.
