Claus MONTECITO. CALIF. With electric kitchen and outgoing laundry, nine young, lipstickless women are being monks in the foothills behind Montecito. The nine are members of the a society of southern California, a monastic order stemming from an ancient Hindu philosophy. Their convent consists of three ranch type buildings and a chapel set In beautiful flower gardens. It was once the SO acre estate of the late Spencer Kellogg, a student of Ven-dant- a. Each of the girls has a private room. The spacious main house is luxuriantly furnished. It has a grand piano. The principles of the girls monastery can be paraphrased as these: No lipstick. No liquor. No men. No money. The first two are to make the third one easier. Maybe the fourth one helps, too. The girls wear yellow monkeloth dresses and are called by Hindu names. Three are college graduates Two are divorcees. All must study five years before taking the vows of sisterhood. In the convent, as Sards, the' elder sister, puts It, the members seek divinity of mankind in a simple life of intellectual study and spiritual discipline No one Is in charge of the monastery.

It should be an example to them, and it well might make them ashamed of themselves. Mrs. Anderson is, of course, our new ambassadress to Denmark; the first woman to be so honored by the greatest country in the world. I never have met her, and until she so to speak put it on the map, I never heard of the small town from which she comes. It is probably smaller than your town. But this I know of her, and this Is what makes me admire her and wish that the 80,000 women aforementioned would ,wake up and make themselves half as valuable citizens as she has made herself. She has a family, a husband and home. Many women consider that these responsibilities are enough to keep them busy for many hour a day and entitled to what leisure they can win at night. Lot' of Silly Men Thesa cares didnt keep her from attending an apparently unimportant political meeting some years ago. Just such a meeting as takes place in your town and mine every autumn: "a lot of silly men getting up and shouting, you perhaps thank them.

Enthroned in popular conception in his red jacket with the white fur trim, his red 'cap and red breeches, Santa Claus was just as firmly enthroned in the department stores, toy shops and everywhere else one has seen him this Christmas. As far back as memory goes, almost, Santas cheery cheeks framed by a flowing white beard, have been a trademark of the jolly gentleman who slides down chimneys with a sack full of toys. Tradition hasnt been able to do anything about breeding the proper Santa Claus girth, but it has set a fashion in Santa Claus apparel that has changed only slightly since the first picture of Mr. Claus appeared in a cartoon back in the 1860s. The actual story of Santa outfit has become kind of garbled in mythology, but Thomas Nast, political cartoonist of the Civil War days, put the finishing touches on the old gentlemans attire. He restored the red color of Hie bishop's robe, that had been borrowed' frfim' the Dutch who brought the legend of St. Nicholas to America with them.
