Contemporary Comment EVEN IF YOU THINK there isn't any Santa Claus, listen to some of these stories and if you don't believe them go and see for yourself. There's a Flatbush family whose young offspring still have faith in the universal gift giver. Tomorrow night if you pass their house you'll see a large plate of milk on the porch. The boys will have put it there for Santa's reindeer! Another little boy, manly although very young, was asked by his grandmother what he wanted from Santa Claus. He thought a minute and then announced, "Well, I really would like a floor waxing machine 80 I can help the maid, but don't tell Santa that I want it or he'll think I'm a sissy!" Still another little boy insists his family prepare a midnight snack for Kris Kringle, so each year A big supper is laid on a table in front of the fireplace and after little Jack goes to bed the family has a party for themselves! Mr.

R. went hunting up north recently and when he came home told his young son he had seen Santa Claus, had picked out a Christmas tree from those he had had carved his (the son's) name on the tree trunk. When the boy sees the tree which really has his initials on it, the sight should be worth a lot.

Mrs.

FitzRandolph, originator of the original party, got out of a sick bed to see her idea successfully executed and to keep her word that she would dance. After she had done both these things and while it was still quite early, she reluctantly left but not until three doctors, all in the audience, insisted she do so! A RINGING IN ONE'S ears gets on one's nerves, be it inside or outside the head. During the recent moving rush telephone bells in recently vacated houses rang incessantly, friends of the removed knowing nothing of their departure! A young Flatbush couple decided suddenly to move one flight up in their apartment house rather than go through the horrors of redecorating, and moved so hurriedly their telephone had to emain down in their former apartment until the telephone company could get around to moving it. The other tenants will learn here for the first time that Mr. and Mrs.

R. were seen and heard dashing through the halls, down and then upstairs, to answer their former telephone, not even taking time to travel by elevator, H. Searching more or less helplessly for some one in our midst with an interest a little off the beaten track, one which is being followed intelligently and energetically, we are more than a little delighted to find Mrs. Henry Cushman Turner with just such an interest. Mrs.

Turner has in her home at 222 New York Ave, a room that tells its own story, Here you will find hanks and hanks of gayly colored yarns, some carefully arranged on looms in readiness for work and others already, part of some fascinating pattern in the making. At one end of the room is a large and impressive loom which, we are told, will shortly be the means of creating A tapestry in the Polish technique. This particular type of work is almost a lost art and must be very beautiful in that it combines four different methods of weaving and parts of it have metal threads woven over them. The wool used always is colored with vegetable dyes so they merely mellow with age, not changing color as do the mineral dyed wools. In another corner stands a much smaller four harness loom set up at present with a white silk evening scarf for some lucky gentleman.

These handsome scarves are woven of pure in colonial designs. Mrs. Turner also has tried her (hand, and most successfully, too, at weaving Macrame fringe such As was used on lovely old Spanish shawls. Most attractive are the Norwegian Hardanger pieces so appropriate, for bureau scarves and bed -spreads. Authentic work of this sort may be bought at only one store in Manhattan; it is so rare and expensive.

Of course, included in the collection are the more common types of needlepoint and tapestry among them an intriguing Gobeline depicting the Mayor's home in a small German village. Not satisfied with her previous achievements, Mrs. Turner recently started copying an Oriental prayer rug of the Turkish Mujur variety, now hanging in the Cluny museum. These rugs are made on canvas with vegetable dyed Smyrna wool tied in Ghiordes knots, making short wool pile. A wealth of knowledge is bound up in the finished product for you must learn something of the history, religion and geographical situation of the people who originally made these rugs, if you would create an authentic replica.

On the other hand, it- is possible to go creative and make up your own designs, symbols and color schemes. alternative is to visit any museum and make graph of whichever rug takes your fancy and use that for your model. Mrs. Turner feels that the art of weaving and its various methods and uses should become part of every child's education, so that we, as a whole, could with very little expense and a great deal of pleasure, enrich our homes and minds with treasures hitherto able..
