should be glad to publish any week in the year;
although there isn't any doubt that the of the
Childrens Festival makes better able to understand
and appreciate it. 1t about far removed from the
conventional Christmas story tale well be.

In the series of stories that Mr. Kaufman is writing for

pose. Their power lies in the wonderful in which he
makes truth seem like pure romance He succeeds in
