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! Dr. E. S. Steiner who was taken suddenly ill while he and Mrs. Steiner were visiting friends in Rochester, November 15 was able to return to his home in Welland after being hospitalized for a month in Rochester General Hospital.

There is no charge for this service and we are pleased to hear from you. 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 BEELINE'S pagua/rey SALE SAVE UP TO 53% Mark 50 years wed MR. AND MRS. HERMAN POWE
