Mr.. TrncY'E Argument.
THE evolution of child life leads in
easy and natural stages to the true con-
ception OF what Kris Kringle typifies. He
is in reality until the veil Is removed in
due order Not one Of our six children,
all Of whom were taught to believe in
but are now wise to Old Saint Nick. has
ever attributed to me or to the mother
any thought OF deception. On the con-
trary, as the veil was lifted in the life
of each child he enjoyed perpetuating
the delightful fiction in the lives of the
younger brothers and sisters. No better
evidence than this can be presented that
the myth of Kris Kringle has not been
regarded as harmful deception by my
children.
II like to regard st. Nicholas as typi-
cal OF the Christmas spirit a mythical
parsonage, but very real and tangible
sentiment. What but this spirit could
have induced me during the past twenty
years TO struggle home, often on the
rear platform OF a crowded street car
