Mr.

Santa Claus. Chance For "Pull" And this might be a tip tl youngsters: If Santa didn't bring you all the things you expected this year, you might look up his brother William Claus here next winter and see if you can't arrange a little family "pull." At least this story should squelch the growing juvenile doubts over whether or not there really is a Santa Claus! SO YOU don't believe in Santa Claus? Well, you're wrong there IS a real Santa Claus, and his brother lives right here in Santa Rosa. Santa Claus is a humble and modest resident of Marshall, who digs ditches for a living and preaches in a little church on Sunday. He's the brother of William Claus, employee of the Hogan Auto Supply firm here and well known in athletic circles'. The story of the real Santa Claus was revealed here yesterday by Rrs.

Mae Gorden Fleming of Route 5, Box 76, Santa Rosa, who has been a close friend of the Claus family for many years. Mrs. Santa, Too Yes, there is a real Santa Claus, and a Mrs. Santa Claus, too, with seven Claus children in the family. Santa Claus is the true name given to the Missouri man at his birth 49 years ago by his par ents, William and Henrietta Claus.

And ever since, Santa has had his hands full trying to live up to his name. At first it was just the children of his own community who eagerly sought the favors of San-. ta Claus, but as his name and fame spread Santa has been deluged with a huge flood of carefully scrawled letters to Santa Claus from all parts of the world each holiday season. Santa has endeavored to an swer personally as of the letters as possible, but the postage toll has been too heavy to bear in recent years. After all Santa is just a family man like the rest of us, and life has not dealt too kindly with him in a financial way despite the fact that he has a name beloved by millions.

From the Marshall, Demo crat Mrs. Fleming displays two clippings of interesting articles regarding Santa Claus and his activities, one revealing that even Santa received a welcome present this Christmas. Gift From Mac West Congratulating Santa Claus on the fine thing he was doing in answering letters from his little friends and admirers, Mae West telegraphed $250 to Claus from PENS Young Violinists Sought By National Club A nationwide search to discover the foremost talented child violinists in the United States under 16 years of age is being sponsored by the National Federation of Music Clubs, according to Mrs. Vincent Ober, national president.

This time of the year is said to be the best to get the sharp detail in the broad vistas of the Valley of the Moon and? surrounding ranges, which are obscured to a large extent by low lying haze at other seasons of the year. The Trails Club held a Christmas party last Sunday evening at the Baumgartner country home on Stony Point Road. The house was decorated in a gay Christmas motif. Mistletoe was festooned on the walls, over the doorways, and suspended from chandeliers with such profusion that all present tacitly decided that it was too much of a job to take the mistletoe seriously, so did not.

The recipe from a group that wants to serve Mary Hampton's Column I shall never forget that New Year's Eve when we'll call her Betty was visiting me.

She had told me all about her lovely frock new that Fall and so becoming. Then finally came the hour to dress. True, the lovely green taffeta did look charming, all freshly pressed and hanging on its hanger. But suddenly the storm broke! The dress had been cleaned and when Betty put it on, it barely reached her ankle bones with the sort of skirt that was designed to meet the floor! This was before Schiaparelli had dreamed of Ballerina skirts and the effect was altogether horrible. Added to that tragedy were her slippers which had been freshly cleaned for the evening.

They had somehow changed color, and were most yellow in cast against the blue-green of her gown! Remembering all this fiasco, the following year I wrote a special little column of friendly warning to my friends. And do you know, at least two dozen letters of "thank you" came in shortly after New Year's Eve? What I warned my fashion-loving friends to do was to set aside a quiet evening well ahead of that last night of the year. And in that evening to stage for themselves a complete dress rehearsal. No matter how pretty flowers look in their transparent box, they may not look right pinned to the frock or tucked in the hair. No matter how right we may think our jewelry is going to look, the gap between a plan and actuality is sometimes shockingly wide.

There are more things that can happen than happened to Betty. For often dresses have actually grown out of style without our realizing it style being such a subtle thing, which creeps over our consciousness so stealthily! Oh we need to check up be fore the glamorous hour. So stop at nothing particularly the hair. Dress it as" nearly as you will on New Year's Eve. By all means fasten into place the flowers or ribbons or fancies you intend wearing.

They are an art in themselves and the trying out is a positive ritual and task of fortitude. Try on your gown to check up on its actual smartness this special moment of this winter. And add every little accessory which is in the plot to go. Then if the catch in your necklace is broken, there is time to have it mended. If you have forgotten altogether about gloves, you can still buy the right sort on the morrow.

If your little evening purse suddenly shows signs of too many evenings out, you can get another. If oh remember this the right hose have disappeared, you still have time to get precisely what you want and need. And when New Year's Eve does come, you will not pull to pieces your exquisitely dressed coiffure with hair ornaments which baffle you. Nor, when you begin to dress, will you have heartache or agitation to spoil so much gay anticipation for such a perfect gala celebration.
