Times change. Life-styles change. Star light, star bright no no use wishing for even a fragment of that kind of Chrimas.

And yet. A Christmas and a half ago, I mentioned casually to Paul and Lillian Lehner two members of the far-flung families I've "adopted" through the years that I was shopping for a box to hold my scattered snapshots. Just a remark dropped and forgotten. But the next Christmas Eve, in the warmth and love of their home, I was given a box. Lillian had scrounged around in a second-hand store and found an old beat-up silver chest.

She brought it home and they went to work in Paul's workshop. By the time it teached me, the wood was beautifully finished, the box lined appropriately with homespun cloth, and equipped with gleaming latches. I held it. And felt it. I knew they were saying, "Surprise! Merry Christmas!" But more clearly than all else I was seeing that magic talking machine and hearing "Stille nacht, hei-lege nacht Bea Adams is a free-lance writer.

FROM PAGE THREE as those. And always there were games. Authors. Checkers. Old Maid.

Dominoes. And blocks, an ancestor of jigsaw puzzles. One game must have been the forerunner of badminton. It consisted of a paddle made with a hickory stick and a barrel hoop that Pop had filled in with window-screening. The "bird" or shuttlecock was a rounded cork with six or eight short feathers secured to it like a crown.

There was no net. We just whacked the bird back and forth. If you returned it, you scored a point; if you failed, you lost a point. In addition to games, we could count on getting books. In the tender years of which I write, the books meant for me were "Mother Goose," "Arabian Nights" (expurgated edition for "Grimm's Fairy Tales" and one called "All About the Roosevelt Bears." My father explained that, had it not been for President Teddy Roosevelt, I wouldn't have a teddy bear.

Another perennial was the "magic lantern" and because my father could make slides out of the photographs he took, that made those stereoptican views unusually personal. Each Christmas had about the same theme with variations. Yet one stands out in my recollections above all others. On Christmas Eve, after the tree was trimmed and lit and the stcokings were hung before Mom could put one finger to the piano Pop announced he had a surprise for us. We were to stay in the sitting room and be quiet.

He went into the parlor, returning almost immediately. Our eyes bugged out to see what new magic he had wrought. "Where is it?" "What's the surprise?" "All of you, sit down," he said. "I'll sit down, too. Now just listen." We sat.

And listened. Pop, a master of remote control, leaned back in his rocker and suddenly it happened. Music. From the direction of the parlor. Someone singing "Stille Nacht." We were frozen in our chairs.

Pop asked, "Want to see?" He got up, opened the door and we almost fell over ourselves getting into the parlor. And there it was. A Victor talking machine. Why we didn't break it in our excitement, why the Christmas tree didn't go up in flames, is beyond me. All I know is that Madame Schumann-Heink sang to us that night.

And John McCormack. And Harry Lauder. And Sousa's Band played "Washington Post March." bridge tips mond in dummy and ruffed another club in his hand. He re-entered dummy by ruffing his other top diamond and followed with another club ruff. Then came a spade 'to the king and a spade ruff.

By now, everyone was down to three cards. Tommy held the A-J-10 of trumps and West was down to the slight glint in his eyes was the only indication that Tommy was in control of the situation. He exited with the ten of trumps, and no matter what West elected to do, he could make no more than one trump trick. "How come you didn't redouble, partner?" queried Tommy. "After all, you held three trumps, an ace, a king and a singleton." Household Hints Cotton is good for baiting mouse traps as mice love it for nesting.

Put the cotton in and around the trap. For a good fit always select your button for a garment before making the buttonholes. Buttons on a garment should always be selected in proportion with your figure, the big buttons for the tall person and small ones for the short one. "Ologies" Trump Coup Tommy's skill in handling difficult trump situations while blowing tricks left and right on other occasions was such that old hands at the club, who would double him on the smell of an oil rag when the occasion presented itself, soon realized that it was a waste of time doubling him wholly or partly in the expectation of making some trump tricks. Once in a while, however, a visitor would drop in from out of town and commit this cardinal sin.

One such case occurred when Tommy opened four hearts on this deal and was doubled. West thought he was looking at a good hand, He didn't realize that the double was really suicidal, because as far as Tommy was concerned, once he knew that West had the outstanding trumps, the hand became merely a textbook example of a quadruple trump reduction. Trump Coup won the opening club lead, ruffed a club and led a spade. West did as well as he could by grabbing the ace, cashing the ace of diamonds and exiting with a diamond. However, nothing could stop Tommy.

He ruffed his own high dia SEEK FIND Treebie' FROM PAGE FOUR highly offensive. As modern movie policemen, Caan and Arkin ignore legality and even common sense, most of the time in their desire to pin the goods on Jack Kruschen, who is the leading bad guy. Still, the story line is so thin and confusing that it is difficult to understand why Caan and Arkin have made such a crusade of it. Robert Kaufman wrote the screenplay from a story by Floyd Mutrux, who is credited as the executive producer, and both men should be forced to spend the next few decades watching what they have wrought. One viewing seems like one decade, so the punishment isn't too severe.

Besides, time really flies when you're having fun. Robert Rush was the producer-director of the nonsense and should have to join them. The film was made over a year ago, but Warner Brothers was hesitant to release it. Their reasoning is obvious, but the overcoming of the hesitation was unfortunate. There are plenty of auto chases through San Francisco and lots of carnage of all sorts along the way, and for some totally unexpected reason, the climax of the story arrives during a Super Bowl game in Candlestick Park.

More specifically, it takes place in a men's room, where much of the film legitimately belongs. In addition to its other difficulties, the picture is far too long, though one of the extraneous scenes provides the only bright sopt in the tedium. Arkin and Valerie Harper, who play a man and wife, are involved in a domestic scene over her alleged infidelity that is sheer hilarity-Come to think of it, maybe it's the rest of the stuff that's extraneous.

It is not unusual to see one of them out there for as long as a day and a half working for a stereo component.

One night I saw one of them working by moonlight for money for this insurance premium for his car. The wrought iron fence is a monument to the capitalistic system and serves as a constant reminder that he who paints, prospers and he who dawdles stays home Saturday night. Yesterday, one of my sons came into the kitchen, his face ashen as he clutched a coffee can full of black paint and a brush. "The fence!" he shouted, "IT'S FINISHED! SOMEONE FINISHED THE FENCE!" We all sat there numbly for a moment while the impact of his words penetrated. "What'll we do now?" he asked sullenly.
