“That's a lie," Stuart said flatly. “Santa Claus is lust. make believe. Dad lust said so."

Star drew a deep breath. She lilid finally discovered the reason for Stuart's unhappiness. How could Barton have said that to the boy?

Barton could not do this. Some- how she must restore the childish faith that made the holiday season beautiful for grown-ups as well as children.

“When I was n little girl," Star began, ignoring Stuart's last com- ment, “I uied to hear that Santa Claus had a great factory at the North Pole, that all year long the funny little elves helped him make toys.

WASI*I1N‘G'I‘C;, . . 5\iAPJ — As It further gesture of sympathy for Finland, President Roosevelt disclosed today that he was seeking a method of using Finnish war debt payments for the benefit of the little Baltic Nation, now at war with Russia.

It was learned. meanwhile, that "the administration was postpon- ing a decision on the question of recalling the United States Am- bassador" to Russia. a course of action strongly proposed by scvcrnl Republican leaders. who have criticized the President for re- cognizing Russia originally, In this connection it was indicated that, administration ls li0pPllll the Russo-lknnisli hos-ti tics may be end-ed soon.

Method: Cream the butter and then add the sugar gradually. Cream until light and fluffy, then add the well beaten eggs and beat very hard While you are doing this, prepare the fruit as follows: Cover therais- iris and currant; with hot water and simmer for 5 minutes. Drain. cool and pat dry.

Cover the figs and apricots with water and boil them for 10 minutes ...it is not necessary to soak them first, Drain and cut them in very small pieces and pat them dry. Put all of these in a. bowl with the fine- ly cut mixed peel, the cherries and candied pinewPDle whzch have been cut in small pieces and the al- monds which have been blanched and chopped. Sift over them lcup of the flour which has been sifted and measured. Mix well so that each piece of the fruit is well coat- ed.

Now mix the sour cream with the orange juice and the grated or- ange rind and add to the butter and egg mixture alternately with the remainder of the flour, sifted with the salt, soda and spices. Turn the floured fruit into this and mix Well.

Sometimes for no apparent rea- son the mixture seems a little dry, If it does, add a little apple or grape jelly, just enough to make s. regular fruit cake batter. thick but not stfif.

Turn the batter into loaf or tube pans which have been lined with 3 thicknesses of waxed paper or with a heavy brown paper thoroughly greased. Bake in a slow, 300 deg. F oven for 2 1-2 to 3 hours, depend- ing on the size of the pans. The cake will have a nice glaze on top and be still more moist if you set a pie pan of hot water on the very bottom of the oven.
