An Aute in Your Stocking?
If Santa doesn't mind, let's sort
through some of his teen-aged
mail and see what the chances
are of delivery by Christmas.
Girls, did you ask for a new or
used car in your stocking? Not
many did last year, only 2 per
cent, but one out of four of these
wound up behind the wheel on
Christmas morning. Not a bad
record for Santa on such a high
priced item.
Boys did even better. Five per
cent asked for cars and four out
of 10 had their automotive
dreams come true.
What's the most popular gift on
Santa's list? Last year, for girls,
it was pocket books, lingerie and
sweaters: 35 per cent asked for
them and 40 per cent received
them. Boys were a little more di
versified in their requests, but the
top items were radios and phono
graphs, with 21 per cent asking
and g per cent receiving, and pen
and pencil sets, with 20 per cent
asking and 14 per cent receiving.
This means four out of 10 wound
up with either a radio or phono
graph, if they asked for it, and 7
out of 10 got their pen and pencil
sets.

OTHER FORMS of Christmas
lighting consist of electrical light

door. These are usually made of
plywood or wire in appropriate de
signs such as Santa and his rein

huge candles, overs ired candy

sometimes gayly painted, or are
sometimes done in pastel shades
or entirely in wnite
Another form of decoration that
has come to the fore during the
past few years is the use of mo
