The Spirit Of Christmas
By PETER JTERLING

/ does not expect anything from San
ia Claus. and though he feels it keen
y. he, brayely strives to hide his
thoughts.
But the others-they know of Santa
Claus. and expect his visit Mary
wants doll. Ruth a little cab and
Tiny Tin a chco-choo. They have
repeated for weeks these wants and
tonight. the night of nights, they pro-
claim their desires faithfully and
persistently.
That is where the deep. knife-cut-
ting sadness creeps in. The father
knows that he can do without the
shoes, the clothes, the underwear he
needs so badly. The mother. in her
ragged calico. can sacrifice as she
has, SO bravely for SO long.
But the children, how can they
stand it when they discover that
Santa Claus has passed them by?
That they. of all the children in the
neighborhood. he. the great good man
they have been taught Santa is, has
overlooked them in his rounds.
The father, in his reyery. sees their
restless. expectant sleep of the night
to come. He hears their lusty shouts
Of the gray dawn of the early morning
as they jump from their light cover
ings to see what Santa has brought.
He waits in agony while their hurri-
ed. then systematic, search of the
house fails to show that Santa has
been there. He feels deep into his
heart the indescribable pain their
cries OF disappointment bring to him.
He hears the long-drawn heart-broken
sobs of Mary. the plaintive weeping
of Ruth. the whimperings of Tiny Tim
and then. his heart swells with an
the pent-up sorrow OF days and days.
as the climax he dreaded has been
reached. and the children come sob

pointment- It is sad 1t is pitifnl.
