some sandwiches sued eake for him,
t.o.o. Doesn't it look very nice? (She
bas been setting the table with cloth
end dishes and plates, as if for a

Dicky-- Oh, let me have just one

Dolly—Nei There are only enough
Just for him! I W'41.11t him to have every

Dolly (catches hold of hni and
pushes hint toward exit)--Yeu musn't!
Besides that, now that we've hung up

upon whieh -there is a, cloth that falls

Dolly—Yes, your slipper is stiek-hag
right out! You ought not to stay there,
anyhow! It would displease Santa

You won't- get any preeents if you do!
Dicky --Well, then, 111 go curl up
on the couch end pretend I'm asleep.
(Be goes over to the eauch arid draws
a shawl over him. Dolly -ties to pull

Dolly—We heard you coming and
we hid!
Dicky—Oh, old I say! eee

you bring ell my presents?
Santa Claus—Why didn't you go to
bed and go to sleep like good chil-
dren? (Crossly)—I have a g ted mind
to go right up the ohnune again!
(Pretends to be going.)
Dicky and Delly—Oh, pleasel,Please
deet't!
Santa Claus (turning about)—Well,
you ought not to Ire here. You know it
ie"n't right!
Dolly—It's realty my fault, Santa
Claus, because I fixed up the party for
you. See! There it its on the table. I
put it en my toy dishes. I wanted you
to have something nice when you came
in cold and hungry, and you must be
sure to notice the dishes! Not a one
is broken! I kept them all—every
one—and the other toys aren't broken,
either!
'Santa claue---011, 1 didn't see the
party or the dishes. Thank Yr'oul Thar*
you! So that's why you came to be
here so late! But really you ought
not to have done it, you Imow!
Dolly (she holds a chair out and
seats Santa Claus at the table, and
passes him the plate. Dicky, on the
other side, takes another plate- and
seats hines.elf.)
Dicky—Did you bring the toys I
asked for in my letter?
Santa Claus—Do you really want
all of them?
Dolly—I think Dicky wants mere
than his share!
Dicky—Oh, no! No, I don't!
Santa Claus—Wtell, there are ever
so many ohildren to think of, and
some do get more than their share!
Maybe Dicky doesn't luiew what he's
asking. for. Here, take a peep into my
sack! (He opens the tmetrth of the
Santa Claus pack -bag and Dicky peeps
in.)
Dicky (jumping up and down.) Yes!
That's the very deum I want! Say,
can't I have those soldiers? I want
the born, and the skates, too—though
I forgot to ask for those! I want

By 'MARION' DAL:LAS.
Once more the changing' seasons
halos brought US 'Winter. The SIII3
has eresSe,d the` 'equator in its journey
south, leaving ue with shorter days
end longer nights; frosty mornings
and: cokl. evenings,
, The 'question, has been asked: Does
this change affect our, human. system?
Assaredly., it des. ,Like, passengers
on a steass2er, going ac.rdss the Bacific
Ocean, who mest a,djust them,seaves to

so .we find it neee'seary thegiv-e some
heed , te the c,hange of seasons.
It ,is commonly thought that all the
change necessary is to put on a, litpe
more ',clothing, close down -the sem.-:
dews, light the fire, and'we are ready
-for -winter. There are other things
-which. require onr -attention, if we
regard -our heelth during the winter.
. Change the Air.•
Thefirst thing is fresh 'air. The '
problem a procuring freshair is a
difficult one, because the cold weather
necessarily closes windows and dbors,.
During the summer", the majority of
people live out doors 'and have be-
come accuetomed to plenty of fresh
air. This supply of- fresh air must
-Inc kept up. .• No matter about bliz-
zards 'and low: tensperatuee; fresh air
must Inc hadi at any' cost. To obtain
this first; eVery member et the house-
hold' should' get rout deers once a day.
If business requires out door exercises
all:right. Bet if not, take a good
brisk walk and, fill the lungs with fresh
air. These who wark 'in factorieseor

This is not all. The living -rooms
should be well vontilatect There' are
ventilaters contrived which allbw the

should be about six inches wide. Raise

Another Tact' f1,T Inc 'kept in mind is,
that the fire, whether it he's stove or
