'Dear Santa: Please
Don’t Bring Me - - -
(By Cynthia Lowry)
<(/P) Newsfeatures Writer)
Dear Mr. Claus:
I’ve been an awfully good girl
all year, as you know, and I sup
pose you ace planning to reward
me with all kinds of wonderful
presents come the big night.
You are an over-worked fellow,
Mr. Claus, and I want to save you
all the effort and space possible, so
is you have me pencilled in for
any of the things I’ll list, put them
in a separate pile and leave them
at the North Pole. Next year when
you have time, send them to your
favorite charity.
It'* not that I'm ungrateful, ifn
just that I have left over from last
Christmas and still in their orig
inal boxes, most of the items.
For instance, Mr. Claus, I don’t
want any more cute glass or cer
amic animals, either for lapel pins
or to put in the corner cabinet.
The former are too perishable and
the latter too dust-catching. Also
I don’t want any more perfume
flasks for my purse. I have nine
floating around my top bureau
drawer now.
I know that odd-type slippers
come in a handy price category,
but don’t bother to carry them to
me. The last-year’s haul resulted
in none which matched existing
robes and I never could get the
leather pair flexible enough so
they didnt produce blisters.
No monogrammed handkerchief
cases, stocking cases, coasters,
napkins or cocktail trays, please.
They are cute in the box, but we
just never get around to using
them, and you know how space
short one is these days. Non
monogrammed, of course, can in

[ Mr. and Mrs. W. Nay. formerly

turn be given away as birthday
gifts and bridge prizes during the
year.
I dont need a big leather jewel
case, Mr. Claus. I have one and,
for lack of jewels, we keep but
tons in it. My extra pair of ear
rings is kept in evidence on my
dressing table. Also I dont want
any cute gadgets for car or kitchen.
I never could make the inside-the
car thermometer stick on the dash
board, and that oversize eyedrop
per for basting (I received four
last year) was cute but absolutely
impossible to wash without spe
cial equipment.
One shouldnt complain about
personal gifts, but you apparently
have my sizes all mixed up. Last
year I received six slips, none of
which fit me, and a dozen pair of
stockings, all to small and too
short. Of course, they are made
nice gifts to someone else, but
really I’d rather buy them myself.
If you were thinking about
books, Mr. Claus, please stick to
cookbooks and detective stories.
Last year you brought me a whole
raft of stuff about nuclear fission
and science conquering disease,
and they upset me for months.
Also, please steer clear of those
books written by wives of men
who go to faraway places to live.
I have enough bedjackels to be
an invalid for a year, and we don't
need any table cigarette lighters
because we've found that it is im
possible to keep lighter fluid in
the house. Also don't send me any
earrings that clip on, becaues they
always hurt my ears.
But most of all, Santa—don’t
send me any live pets—and the
range is from canaries to Russian
wolfhounds—or any devices which
might make me feel the necessity
of working. I don’t want a wash
ing machine, a vacuum cleaner, or
a lawn mower. Right now I’m hir
ing people to do those chores and I
don’t want to change the situation.
Also don’t send me skis, tennis
rackets, skates, table-tennis sets,
or any other items which might
appeal to my sporting blood. I
fracture easy and enjoy lounging
while other people acquire mus
cles.
What is it I want? Well, I love
those little paper gift certificates
that are so light to carry. And I
adore checks drawn on banks. And
think of the weight you’ll save, not
to mention all the effort of think
ing up something else.
