THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE WEDNESDAY, 'DECEMBER 13, 1950 all . ANTA CLAUS sat down to the dinner table as cross as a bear. He didn't even glance at his wife to see which of her caps was on her white =~ haired "head. And that was a thing Santa was al-| ways very particular to notice. Mrs. Santa Claus had ing Cap and her Thinking Cap. The first was knit of white cot- ton yarn, with a small scrimpy crown, fitting close to her head. It was made with not even a pucker or gather, or frill, scrap of trimming on it, and it was tied under her double chin | with strings a quarter of a yard long. When she wore this special cap, Banta took oft his boots and went around on tip-toe. Her Working Cap was made of stiff cloth, in the shape of a large inverted candy horn. It had a large bright yellow bow in front and a | large blue one behind. The high- peaked top stood up in a fierce and defiant way. When she appeared in this towering fashion, Santa Claus al- ways thought best to keep at a ing North Cowhoy Gifts Ole Are Popular J the side the inn had no heat at all.
