<P> Much as in The Metropolites, Mrs. Santa Claus appears in a dream of the author E.C. Gardner in his article "A Hickory Back - Log" in Good Housekeeping magazine (1887), with an even more detailed description of her dress: </P> <Dl> <Dd> She was dressed for traveling and for cold weather . Her hood was large and round and red but not smooth,--it was corrugated; that is to say, it consisted of a series of rolls nearly as large as my arm, passing over her head sidewise, growing smaller toward the back until they terminated in a big button that was embellished with a knot of green ribbon . Its general appearance was not unlike that of the familiar, pictorial beehive except that the rolls were not arranged spirally . The broad, white ruffle of her lace cap projected several inches beyond the front of the hood and waved back and forth like the single leaves of a great white poppy, as she nodded emphatically in her discourse . </Dd> </Dl> <Dd> She was dressed for traveling and for cold weather .

Its size was most voluminous, but its fashion was extremely simple . It had a wide yoke across the shoulders, into which the broad plain breadths were gathered; and it was fastened at the throat by a huge ornamented brass hook and eye, from which hung a short chain of round twisted links . Her right arm protruded through a vertical slit at the side of the cloak and she held in her hand a sheet of paper covered with figures . The left arm on which she carried a large basket or bag--I couldn't tell which--was hidden by the ample folds of the garment . Her countenance was keen and nervous, but benignant . </Dd> </Dl>
