TTie one on the mantel was screaming like mad; \V yelling and calling A /> for me and his dad. ® jfyL When what to my wondering eyes 1 © » should appear V y y but one on the curtains How did you get up there, dear? And one of them caught by the hair of her head way back under the bed. More rapid than blinking they all scrambled down. The one on the curtains just pulled them down. We yelled at and screamed at and called them by name, "Oh, Danny; Oh, Davey; Oh, Patty; Oh, Steve; Oh, Karen; Oh, Jimmy; Oh, Michael; Oh, Gary... If you don't settle down and behave very soon, Santa won't leave you a toy not a one.

And then in a minute We heard back in there, one of the boys pulling somebody's hair. As I went in to see who was hurt, Mike had a water gun Squirt, squirt, squirt. He was looking around Like it he hadn't done. So I opened the door and sent him home on the run. A bunch of boys, that late in the day, should be home with their moms and dads I say. My eyes, how they sparkled. They sparkled, then brightened. "Hie other kids I'm afraid I did frighten. My droll little mouth drawy up in a scowl, and out of that droll little mouth came a growl. J I A half-smoked Camel J I held tight in my hand. You should have seen those boys J when they ran. Bruce came in then, Neither merry nor plump; picked up our oldest and gave him a thump. A blink of his eyes and a shake of his head soon gave them to know they had plenty to dread. He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work grabbed up the next one and gave him a jerk. And laying them all on their own little cot, found his way back to the old coffee pot. The kids settled down to sleep at last all tuckered out from the day that had passed. But I heard one of them ask as I turned out the light, "Mama, will Santa Claus really come tonight?" Maybe.

E Wall, District Director of the Internal Revenue Service, said today that ladies who get married should be sure and have their names changed on the records of the Social Security Adminis tration .

Wall said that many refund checks are delayed each year for this reason. 3
