This is the greeting which The Times,
and Santa Claus, and the ST. Nicholas
Girl send you today. And a busy day
1t is for the friends Of the children.
Early Friday morning, when the hrst
faint streal0s OF pink were tinging the
Eastern sky. the Santa Claus car drew
zip before the Munsey Building, and
Santa himself crept lightly up flight
after fight OF steps to peep into the
store room that holds the chndren's
treasures. And what did he see there2
Rows and rows upon rows of big pa
Der bags on which were pasted the
name. address and requests Of each child
whose letter had reached the Santa
Claus postoffice in The Times Building
And out OF these bags there peeped the
very dolls and other playthings for
which the children had asked.
Then, for the first time in many a
long day Santa Claus gave a sigh OF
relief, and laughed right heartily The
lines disappeared from his brow, and he
rubbed his hands together and whistled
softly. After all, the men and women
remembered the children he said
Early Friday morning. too. the Santa
Claus aids began arriving at The Times
Building. There was a small army Of
volunteer workers. and soon the store
room WAS a sort of happy bee hive
There were more bags TO ill, and hun
Sreds Of bright Christmas labels to tie
on bags already full to bursting There
were buckets OF candy and gaily flow
cred boxes TO hold the candy; there were
big bundles Of toys arriving every mo
msnt. and happy faced people coming 20
