We hope to be fully recovered from the ef.
fects of it in a week or two. You see, on
Christmas Eve the children were so excited
about the coming of Santa Claus that they
couldn't get to sleep. Young Mr.. Fizzleton
stayed pretty late, too, at least it seemed so
to Mr.. Spillxins and myself, though Ethel
didn't agree with us. After he left, we found
that Harry's breathing was still too regular
to be trusted and we must wait to hang the
stockings / said I'd wait up and do it,
Pm poor sleeper, anyhow. Why, never
close my eyes until I've made Mr.. Spilkins

them, but her father said she'd be thinking
of young Fizzleton and forget to notice
whether the children were asleep or not.
Why, she makes enough noise after he leaves
at night to wake the dead"
Yes, the worst thing about Loves young

"M'hm. Well, knew I'd have to hang
those stockings, so when it was time crept
