Oh, dear me, I hope you still
don’t have your Chrismas cards
to address I sat down very early
in December and addressed mine
and do you know it took me six
solid hours!
I imagine our family sends
around the average number of
cards, perhaps a few more. I got
so tired of licking stamps, I
should have dampened a sponge
and brushed the stamps over
that—instead of coating my poor,
tired tongue with all that icky
goo.
When the cards were address
ed, I wanted to put notes in
about half so you can imagine
what the Christmas task in re
gards to Christmas cards was
this year.
You folks, who think I’m aw
fully smug about doing my
Christmas shopping and wrap
ping early, don’t know the whole
story. I do just like I tell you.
But the week of Christmas my
husband and son always sheep
ishly hand me some money and
say, “You shop for me, I can’t
think of a thing,” and guess who
is shopping and wrapping at the
last minute?

Dear Blanche:
Thank God for diriv dishes,
They have a tale to tell
While others go hungry’,
We’re eating well.
With home and health and hap
piness
I should want to fuss,
For by this lack of evidence,
God’s very good to us.
I have had inspiration from
this poem and try hard to be
thankful and not to grumble.
But, confidentially, sometimes
I'd like to chew it up.
If my family changed places,
which they don’t do very often,
I think I could still tell who used
which plate. There are those who
leave a little of this or that, two
little girls who tuck bits they
don’t like or are too full for and
have room for dessert—under the
edge of their plates.
The baby just pushes it off for
the dog, if mom won’t eat it.
My better-half never takes too
much. So there’s never a scrap
on his plate and the silver is
neatly placed across his plate.
The rest leave their plates fairly
clean.
“Do you like to do dishes?” I
don’t mind, but I do like to do
some other things better, such as
sewing, so if teen-age daughter
says, “I’ll do dishes after school
if you’ll make my skirt,” the
dishes piled on the cupboard
don’t bother me a mite. I like
tc tidy up before doing dishes
because if I finish dishes and
turn around to a tidy house, I’m
ready to tackle the next big job
or so—
I do have a habit of leaving
breakfast dishes until noon.
Then I like to stir up a big
batch of cookies and I'm handy
to watch them while I do the
dishes. Of course, there are a
few more added but when the
cookies are put away, so is ev
ery dish clean and in place.
Our family doesn’t all leave
at the same time so breakfast
is a drawn out affair. I find I do
less scolding and the children do
less calling of me if I sit down
with some mending or hand sew
ing after breakfast.
They can see me and ask those
questions which they seem to
have to look directly at me to
say. Not around a corner or a
closed door. Of course, I have to
help hunt mittens or fix a shoe
lace at the last minute just like
any busy mother.
Thanks to my garden club
girls, I have two new dishes to
hang on my wall. A plain white
saucer with a pretty Dutch de
cal on it which in turn is glued
to a saucer size paper plate which
has a ruffle of blue and white
checked three-inch ribbon sewed
around the edge. It takes IV2
yards per plaque.
Another paper plate is glued
to the back with a loop of rib- -
bon fastened to the back for
hanging. Nice singly or in pairs
for a last minute gift or that
January birthday which pops up
so quickly after Chirstmas.
My favorite pastime while do
ing dishes, if not designing dress- i
es or skirts is planning letters to
you. Incidentally all of them
don’t reach paper.

That's right! Santa, himself, finds it hard to pass up playing with the
realistic, pint-size toy John Deere Farm Implements. See them and you'll
understand why youngsters, too, like them so well.
There's a complete line for the young farmer—a plow that raises or
lowers for transporting or plowing; a rubber-tired wagon that handles a
big load of play grain; a toy manure spreader that actually spreads
sand and sawdust; a disk harrow that angles and straightens; and, of
course, a sturdy, toy tractor that will be your youngster's prize posses
sion.
Boys and girls, alike, get a big thrill out of being farmers just like
Dad. This Christmas, set them up in farming with these wonderful,
small-scale implements. See us now while there's still a good supply.
