Show Out, Out, Dratted Spot! More entertaining means more minor casualties through this festive season. Most spots and stains are easily removed if you really know how to handle them properly. Eash process described de-scribed should be tested on the extra fabric of an inside seam, or a corner of the fabric involved, before attacking at-tacking the actual stain. In a kit of first aid cleaning clean-ing agents and tools be sure to include an eyedropper (to measure one drop of liquid at a time), an art gum eraser, magnifying glass, white vinegar, and a soapless shampoo (not meant for hair) . Spots are best removed from the wrong side of the fabric, with a paper towel placed beneath them. Move the towel around so the soli comes off on a clean part. Pat dry, do not Iron. Remember Re-member soap will do more harm than good, it often "sets" the stain. When a chemical has been used, hold spot over a glass of cold water, and pat the fabric into the water gently. Coffee: For table linens, hold stained fabric taut over a deep basin. (Tie into place.) Put basin into empty emp-ty bathtub and from as high as possible, pour boiling boil-ing water directly onto spot until it is removed. Pour slowly and carefully! Cocoa and chocolate: As soon as possible sponge with cold water. A paste of Borax and water can be applied to table linens. CheuHng gum: Rub with ice cube until hard. Scrape as much as possible away. If fabric is linen or cotton texture, put adhesive tape over spot and press down hard. Pull adhesive up quickly while someone else holds the fabric tight. Candle droppings: Scrape excess wax away. White The llimk of Christmas The merry rejoicing at Christmas, celebrating the Birth of Christ, seeks to recapture the glory and wonder won-der of the Nativity. People everywhere come together in warmth and goodwill, recalling the Source of the Spirit that binds them together. Although Christmas is celebrated all over the world, it is not really known whether or not Jesus, as a boy, ever had a birthday party. Jews of His time did not celebrate birthdays . . . such observances were for kings and other important people, who lived in palaces. With or without birthday parties, Jesus had an enchanted childhood, so say the legends. One such story says He made mud-pie birds one rainy day, and as He finished them, they flew away. For having bowed down to give its fruit to His Holy Mother, Jesus rewarded a palm tree by having a cutting of it planted in Paradise. The Magic of Christmas is happily contagious, transforming the world in an atmosphere of brotherhood brother-hood and anticipation. Its magic brings families together, inspires a spirit of generosity and giving, and fills the heart with a heady llghtheartedness long remembered from one's childhood. For it is in childhood that the magic of the Yule-tide Yule-tide is felt most keenly. The air quivers with excitement excite-ment and the promise of things to come. Pungent smells fill the house and little ones can hardly sleep, for listening to the furtive sounds of mom and dad tiptoeing and whispering and wrapping, far into the night. An old French proverb says "Miracles happen only to those who believe in them." Surely, we can all be-' be-' lleve! Surely we can reinforce our faith in miracles! 1 1 I o Dreams of the Sugar Plum Fairy and beautiful imaginings fill the night. May all your dreams come true!
