SANTA CLAUS LADY AND HER VERY OWN BABY
DOING THEIR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING EARLY
aaBaaBaaBaaBaaaaM i , A MSMvwtifmJiMIiHlmfl
wlmSSL BPK' - "'1 m "mM
k Mrs. Olive ivlay Wilson Hammer, With Olive Junior, Already in Field
Looking for Gifts for 50,000 or More Adopted Kiddies German
Dolls Sadly Missed
The toy people didn't know what to make
of It when they saw the Santa Claus Lady
como Into their shop:.
"It Isn't Chrlstman time," they said per
plexedly, "It's only April. But maybe she's
decided to bccomo an Haster Bunny Lady
also." And they went forward to Brest
her with tho alacrity thnt the Santa Claus
Lady's sparkling brown eyes and winning
smllo always beset.
But when sho asked them to spread out
their Christmas wares, their wonderment
Increased, because whereas the Santa Claus
Lady Invariably used to muse out loud:
"I wonder If they will like this and I
wonder If thoy will llko that"; this time
she kept constantly saylnc:
"I wonder If sh,o will like this ; I wondor
If she will like that."
"You see. It va3 llko this," explained
Mrs. Blrchall Hammer, who was Miss OHe
May Wilson, nnd who Mill li tho Santa
Claus Lady after tho shopping expedition.
"I really was buying my toyh in advance
for all of my adopted kiddles, but I couldn't
keep In tho background tho fact that I've
a baby my very own now and, of course, I'd
be Influenced In tho choice of gifts for
the other youngsters by what I Imagined
to be her tasto, even though she Is only nn
Infant"
At this moment there Issued from a
fray-hooded perambulator, which stood In
thl drawing room of tho Santa Claus LafJy's
home, a self-conscious chuckle. It was
followed by a series of peremptory gurgles.
The Santa Claus Lady cocked an attentive!
ear nnd obeyed the summons, lifting to
view a pink, three-months-old morsel of hu
manity. Then she put her mouth to the
little Kewple's shell-liko car and In Infant
languago convoyed tho information that
there was a Terrible One present who would
"write her up" If sho didn't behave.
Just as though It had been the most
select King's English, Baby Olive Hammer
understood, and In similar tonguo nssured
her mother that her darling child would
do nothing to cause maternal shame.
It's this llttlo creature who Is responsl-
By M'LISS
ble for the Santa Claus Lady's doing l,er
Chtlstmas uhopplng ho prcternnturally early.
"I thought I had better be prepared," the
Santa Claus Lady told me, "and so I wrote
to the kind people who send me money
every yenr and told them that I was going
shopping months ahead of time.
"Last year I sent gifts to 64,000 children ;
this year 1 expect to look out for 100,000.
It's Impossible to keep the list from growing
and I don't want to If tho generosity of cer
tain good people keeps pace with It.
, "Tho war, In addition to my baby, has
made the problem of getting the gifts
rendy more difficult. There are no more
wonderful German toys to be had."
"I hope my youngster! won't be too dis
appointed," she continued, "but I Just can't
get any dolls The American dolls are
simply atrocious. They hae no expres
sion ; tlfpy'ro Inartistic nnd poorly made.
Maybe the fact that we can't'get them now
from Germany will make us hurry up and
learn now to make tho adorable ones that
iney turn out, nut at any late, I ve just
not been able to get my hands on any
thing fit in the way of dolls. But I've
bought quantities of games, mechanical
toys, paint boxes, tambourines, drums,
jacks-ln-the-box, marbles and baseballs. I
haven't nearly enough, of course, but I've
made a good start."
In the meantime, tho following letter, re
ceived by tho Santa Claus Lady from a
group of the adopted ones who signed thorn
solves "Your llttlo friends of the 900 block
South Front street," shows that her big
family of children has no Intention of let
ting her forget them, just because she's ac
quired a small, exclushe family, all her
own:
Dear Santa Claus Lady We send to
you our love and best wishes and we
also send to your dear little baby our
loe and best wishes. Next Christmas
If wo all live we would like you to
bring tho little baby down In tho auto
mobile with ou, for we would all love
to see It so that we could ghe It a good
hug and kits, rieaso don't forget to
bring her noxt Christmas. Wo all thank
you for our presents. With much loe
to you nnd the dear little baby.
Baby Olive lUtened to the rending of this
missive with a pleased expression.
"Jealous?" she was asked.
"Not In the least," she replied In com
plncent baby fashion, nnd from tho way the
Santa Claus Lady looked nt her, one knew
sho was quite right about It after all.

Right-handedness or ltft-handcdncss

Adenoids
Vhnt are adenoldnT Should they be r'moied'
D 1. K
Adenoids are growths v. hlc'.i form In the
upper part of the pharynx nt tho back p.irt
of the nasal c.ivlty. They mc likely to pro
duce serious Injury by obstruction of the
noitrIN and may lend to deafnes, to de
formity of the Jaws, an abnormal expres
sion of the face nnd m.iy even produce
mental nnd nervous disturbances" of a serl
nui character. Adenoids should be lemoved
is soon us dlscDNered. The operation Is u
-tlinplo one, but should be done by a
specialist In disorders of tho nesa or throat.
Reducing a Fat Abdomen
Whit do ou recommend for rfiluclnt a fat
abdomon" .M i rt
Kxerclse. Lie on the back and raise the
legs to horizontal 100 times a diy Net,
raise the head far enough to sen the toes
for a number of times. Thh will contract
the abdominal muscles ami make them
work. Tho muscles on this portion of the
body get fat because they do not work.
Swimming Is a splendid thing for tho pur
pose. It throws the head out and contracts
tho abdominal mUKcle-J and the cold water
helps to burn up the fat.
Flatfoot
Is there any cur for flatfoot? .1 T II.
Yes, If the defect Is taken in band early
enough. The deformity Is due to weakness
of the muscles nnd ligaments which sup
port the arch of tho foot. These may be
strengthened by walking on tiptoe with
tho heels turned slightly outward. This ex
ercise should bo practiced seernl times
each day. In adults, the only remedy Is the
wearing of a steel Insole so shaped as to
support the nrch of the foot.
