By SELENE ARMSTRONG,
The St. Nicholas Girl.

Just let the people read their letters,
! my dear" said Santa Claus to the St
Nicholas Girl Friday morning. There
IS much I would like TO say TO the pub
!. he about our plans for Christmas Day.
r. but surely these little letters tell more
than any story you or / could frame
Q And with something like sigh, the
- old man handed some childish scrawls
q 10 the St Nicholas Girl. This was the
r. first Of them. 1t bespeaks such perfect
I. confidence that Santa Claus realizes
more fully than ever how tragic thing
s. is for the world to break faith with
q one Of these little ones:
Dear Santa Claus and Miss Nicholas:
] am not where 1 was last Christmas.
n am at the tuberculosis Hospital for my

= Please send me four in hand tie. and
- pair of rubbers, size No. l. Send me
some candy and nuts and fruIt Send
it in care Of Miss Watkins. the head
nurse, for HARVEY COOK,
tuberculosis Hospital.
Pathos of Letter.
The pathos OF many OF the little let
..ters lies in the fact that these children
700 not ask for toys. The wonders of
Stoyland are not for them. The Chris
slnas tree, agIow with lights and tinsel
and fairy balls, and bending beneath its
happy burden Of playthings. is not for
them. The Christmas table. which ex-
presses the abundance and good cheer
--of the holiday season, is not spread for
them; nor does the glow Of the family
hearth warm their little hands and
feet. Upon all these. the children
who write to Santa Claus and the
-. Nicholas Girl may gaze wistfufly
as upon visions OF fairyIand. but of
them they may not partake From
the hospitals, founding homes. or
phRn asylums. and cherries dwelling
places they write to ask for a pair
Of gloves, because the weather Is so
cold. or for rubbers, or a top coat.
because these keep out the rain.
Dear Miss st. Nicholas-Please tell

two sisters, and papa is dead. Some
