Other Kinds Of Letters.

But besides these two or three which
are printed. just by way Of showing that
the little folks are writing to Santa
Claus this year. just as they have al
ways done. there are many letters which
have been sent to proxies of Santa Claus.
his good aids and allies. with every chance
that their modest requests will be filled
from the markets and the toy shops.
And other folks who. thinking Of their
own little boys and girls at home. and of
the much that Santa has to do in such
little while. care to take some of the
joyous duties Of his hands can have their
opportunity when they will. Perhaps, for
them. can be found another brown paper
letter like that written by the little boy
whose mamma worked and cried.
And. perhaps, too. after they have done
their part. they will say, as did the man
who reads the Santa Claus letters. Good
ness. this is a fine and dandy Christmas"
Somehow. playing at Santa Claus helps
to make 1t SO.
