One the young men we adore most In the whole world in Toddy, the 4-year-old aon of the Harold Parrotts. Toddy is a very intelllperu) young gentleman and his sage advice comes from a clear little blond head. However, he was taken quite oft guard the other day while his mother was, like a good citizen, listening to a radio program of air raid preeM tions. She didn't realize Toddy and his young brother might be lLs tening, too. The announcer kept stressing the fact that it is Important to keep cool and Finally he fairly shouted "DONT LOSE TOUR HEAD.

which point Toddy, not having realised before that such a thiiat might happen to him, put a tiny hand on each tide of his head and holding on tight said, "Oh my goodness!" It is well worth the trip to Bay Ridge, if you don't already live there, to see the delightful window that Helen Kracke has artistically designed for her new shop out there. Miniature bratchets, the famous little hound dogs which every member of King Arthur's Round Table had as a constant companion, are shown gleefully skating 'and skiing on the ice and snow against a background of midnight blue sky and glistening stars. The whole bratchet family is there, Mr. and Mr. Bratchet, Betsy, Bobsy and Benny and enviously watching them sporting In the snow are their little animal friends.

Stinky (the skunk), Cheesy (the mouse), Deerie (the reindeer), Bunny (the rabbit) and Foxy (the fox). If you hear children screaming around 3d Ave. and 85th don't be alarmed, they are screaming with delight. There's one lucky woman In New York this Christmas, and she is lucky because her husband is lucky 1 All of which sounds vague, but her husband's luck depends on wagers he makes with himself and she Is benefited by the results. Seems they formerly lived in Brooklyn, where Mr.

W. used the subway to get downtown every morning. He got tired of standing all the way to Borough Hall, so he began to take notice of the young people in the train and found most of them would get out to go to Brooklyn College. As a result he got a seat almost at once, and more often than not his guess was correct. The W's moved to Westchester recently and Mr.

who still rides by subway, had to think up another plan to get his usual seat. His final plan, and one that works well, has him spot a person with Nordic features and stand in front of him as the sitter invariably gets out at 86th Well, Mr. W. has been placing wagers with himself lately. If he is right in his calculations, he puts the winning money into a fund to buy Mrs.

W. her Christmas gift, and so far he hasn't missed many times. HELEN BROWN. Krulen photo CHAIRMAN Mrs. Plott Wil-lets is chairman of reservations and tickets for the yearly Colony House benefit.

I think it is perfectly idiotic. I've read the story and I can tell every one I've certainly seen a host of movies that imply far worse things than this comedy. In fact, I don't even see why we need the Will Hays Boiud. Americans ate certainly broadminded enough, in my way of thinking, to receive these with the right attitude. For years there was no board and I'm sure the morals of the American population were not corrupted any more than they are today by plain jokes and regular stage shows.
