MRS. V. ARMSTRONG
89 ANNE W. EXETER, ONT.
All this business about Santa
Claus being such a nice, jovial,
saintly fellow may be a lot of
propaganda. Like the rest of us,
I have a sneaking suspicion he has
a nasty side that just isn't
promoted too much.
At least, I found out he sure
knows how to hurt a gal and get
across a message in a not too
subtle way.
Do you know what he left
under the tree for me this year?
No. Well, I'll tell you.
He left boxes and boxes of
lotions, creams and makeup of
every imaginable description.
Yes, I got his message
alright ... loud and clear. And I
think it was perfectly miserable
of him to rub salt in my crow's
feet and remind me that the
ravages of time were being
observed and my looks are
ebbing away.
To be honest, beauty is not
something that has just begun to
elude me lately.
Frankly, it escaped my grasp
the day I was born.
The closest I ever got to it
was having a beautiful mother
and an older sister who was her
equal which was great for them,
but disastrous for me.
It was like being an ugly sister
to two Cinderellas.
As a matter of fact, I always
sort of felt akin to those poor
beautiless creatures in that old
story. Their wretched behavior
was due, I'm sure, to their
inferior complexes and after all
they had to get attention
SOMEHOW.
Well, anyway, when my sister
and I were young we would
sometimes visit mother's old
home town where she had been
known for her ravishing good
looks.
The residents would gather
round us gasping with delight
that sister was the picture of our
mother.
Eventually their gaze would
shift to me and there would be a
louder gasp this time from shock
and disbelief.
"This isn't your sister, is it?"
They choked out to my lovely
sister.
Their tones begged her to say
it wasn't so, but she, poor thing,
was an honest girl and had to
adniit that indeed I was a close
relative.
I would blink behind my steel
rimmed glasses and Buster
Brown hair cut and try to look
like the "intelligent one". But
this never quite came off and I
merely gave the impression of a
try-out for the art of "Dopey"
in Walt Disney's film.
These people would
eventually regain their
composure and try desperately
to think of something kind to
say,
"My," they'd blurt out. "You
are a wholesome looking girl,
aren't you?"
Yuk . a pock on all of
them!
What 15 year old girl wants
to be told she is wholesome
looking?
There is only one thing, I've
learned, more disgusting than
being a wholesome looking
teenager ... and that is being a
wholesome looking matron.
Many ugly girls I've known
have me tamorphised into
women who are sophisticated,
handsome, striking and a few
even became quite lovely.
Not me though ... no such
luck ... I just kept on being
wholesome.
And now, along comes Santa
with his cheery little message
that even my wholesomeness is
fading.
Darn.
Having been a-little-dab-will-
do-ya girl for many years
(Jergen's lotion, that is) I was
overwhelmed and quite
mystified by the array of
concoctions surrounding me
Christmas morning.
However, mystification soon
gave way to fascination.
The directions of one bottle
of lotion said that not only
would it clean the surface of my
skin but would go further and
"clean deep".
• Now, what's that supposed to
mean? Somehow, I get the
picture of something or someone
way down there scrubbing up
my soul.
Well, I'm all for that.
Then there was a cream to
liquify away my laugh wrinkles.
That sounds like ending up with
a face as deadpan and as
beautiful as Frankenstein.
Next came something to
stimulate my facial circulation
and make it as fresh and as
tingly as an April morn.
That sounded like fun.
If you can believe this, there
was a concoction which would
put a film between my face and
the world.
It didn't state whether this
was for the world's protection or
mine.
Finally
miraculous
calamitous.
Giving me a quick squeeze he
re assud me, "Its OK, Mom, I
don't give a hoot if you're not
pretty."
Thanks a lot, Bub.
Well, really, I don't care too
much about it myself.
Being beautiful must carry a
tremendous responsibility and
I'm not sure it wouldn't go to
my head!
Besides, from what I read in
the papers lately it might be just
down right dangerous in the
future.
Some doctors are predicting
the possibility of head
transplants in the 1980's.
Heavens, if that's true a
woman of beauty might have
trouble keeping her
head literally, I mean.
Who knows what kind of
feline head-hunters might lurk
about. It might just get so that a
pretty girl wouldn't dare show
her face in case someone else got
designs on it and did her in.
Can't you see some envious
plain Jane making an
appointment with a transplant
surgeon to have her head
replaced with one she "just
happened to pick up
somewhere"?
Thanks a lot, St. Nick. Maybe
your heart was in the right place
after all. But I'll just stick to my
Jergen's lotion.
I'm sure it will be a lot safer!

there was a
something that
would guarantee only one
thing . . . CERTAIN BEAUTY.
There it was.
Beauty ... within my grasp at
last.
Maybe Santa Claus wasn't
such a spiteful old renegade after
all.
The family was awestruck.
They began to visualize a
mother whose beauty would
make Helen of Troy and
Cleopatra look like a couple of
fat green frogs.
Christmas night I slathered on
layer after layer of the stuff and
went to bed.
I awakened next morning to
see our youngest staring down at
me with deadly seriousness.
"Are you beautiful, yet?"
His disappointment was so
keen at seeing the same old me
that I had to tell him one of the
hard facts of life.
"It's just a matter of luck if
you get a beautiful mother and
in your case the beauty genes
just haven't bounced that way."
I also told him that having a
gorgeous mother could lead to
complications.
Elizabeth Taylor, one of the
loveliest looking women in the
world had had five husbands and
if he were her little boy he might
just forget who his own daddy
was and he wouldn't want that,
would he?
Indeed he would not. In fact
he agreed it would be very
