You will be missed from the com

should search the house and look up

youngsters won’t want to run out und
look for it.
At the end o f the ceremonies, which
should not lust over half an hour, a

As for the costume, that is a mat

the white whiskers and wig, the fun
ny little old tussled cap and the fat
stomach are essential.
