There ire more people around
today doing bad imitations of San
ta Claus than there are people do
ing bad imitations of Hildegarde,
A1 Jolson and Bette Davis.
This ts a very serious situation,
as can easily be seen, which is
making it difficult even for adults
to believe in Santa Claus.
Personally, through long prac
tice, I am able to spot a phony
Santa Claus from a distance of two
blocks or the length of a depart
ment store. But even before I was
an expert in the field, I was never
taken in by skinny characters in
dirty cotton beards and outside
suits soliciting Christmas alms on
street corners. The tip-off, of
course, is that they stand on pieces
of board or wear regulation ga
loshes. Santa Claus wears boots
and his feet never get cold. I have
known people, however, who be
lieved anyone in a red suit trim
med with fur was Santa, no matter
what he was doing.
Of course. I have met the good
Saint Nick in stores many times,
but I have also encountered some
bad actors pretending they were
Santa. Imposters usually can be
detected by a bored attitude and
a certain lack of interest in the
whole subject of toys.
Some people are even making a
profitable business out of imita
ting Santa, which Is pretty repre
hensible when you realize that this
is his busy season and he can't
take time out to protect himself.
One man has opened a school to
train people to become better Im
itation Santa Clauses. He has
classes on how to paste a beard
on properly, and how to stroke it
thoughtfully without Its becoming
loose. He warns them not to
smoke anything but a hookah be
cause of the fire hazard. He teach
es them how to laugh so their ab
domens "shake like a bowl Ml of
Jelly," but what's more important
he teaches them how to counter;,
felt Santa's laugh. The proper
guffaw, as I understand it, is
"Ho-ho-ho-ha-ha " Seems untrain
ed Santas are apt to go just "Ha
ha-ha-ha."
I'm against this trend. But I'm
more opposed to the way certain
'??Merprises are implying that San
ta Clatu has changed his tradition
al methods of operation. Santa
Claui has made no changes these
mhnjr years except that in cities he
will enter apartment dwellings
without fireplaces by coming in a
handy door or window. I also un
derstand he had a bad time recent
ly by landing in the middle of an
oil burner, and is being a bit more
careful about all types of chimneys
these days.
Any time you see a purported
picture of Santa riding in an air
plane or automobile of any type,
it Is an unauthorized portrait and
the central figure probably Is one
of the Santa ittltators.
Santa Claus Is an ageless, good
humored man who wears an un
usual' costume, lives at the North
Pole, travels by sled and reindeer
through the skies and brings toys
on Christ nun eve to good children.
Sachet Gift.
Some 6t the simplest daintiest
and lent expensive Christmas
are those which are made
sachet. Y?u t*n make pret
ty Uttle satin hearts filled wjth
sachet, handkerchief cases that
art sachet scented. Mutt sachet
pillows for lingerie drawers, and
quilted sachet hangers. In mak
ing these sachet gifts keep hi
mtnd that the sactiHt should Be
sandwiched in between cotton
bating cut to the exfct shape of
the article.
