With the advent of Christmas there
comes the inevitable discussion in the
newspapers as to the propriety of telling
children that there isn't any Santa Claus.
This controversy is relic of Puritan con
seientiousness 1t belongs with the preju-
dice against novels, fairy stories, and
games OF all kinds. because these are de
ceitful."
If any parents in the city of Washington
are distressing themselves over this mat
ter. it may be well for them TO reflect on
so much as they can remember of their
own childish inaginings. If they did not
succeed in convincing themselves now and
then that lot of chairs were a train of
cars, and that their dolls OF rocking horses
we're alive and could understand English.
they must have been exceptional children
Yet does anyone suppose that these infan-
tile fctions we're lies? Hardly.
In a ehild-s mind there is sort Of linz

there is in the mind of an adult. When

Jefferson Is made-up character instead
of the living Rip Van Wrinkle, but We
should not thank anyone to remind US Of
It IN the middle of the play. The parent

upon the statement that the good old
