Revising Old Legends.

Once again the time honoreC

dren. Once again this same in
dividual is trying to shatter the
beautiful illusions of childhood.
Sooner or later our youngsters
will understand who Santa Claus
is, but so long as their little eyes
grow large and glow with ex-
pectation and their little lips
culver with excitement when
talking about the coming Christ
mas visit of the kindly little gen.
tleman from toyland, why shat
ter such illusions =?
We can be children but once.
1t is in the springtime of our
lives. Soon we must brush up
against the world and find out
how hopeless our early ideas are.
We gradually grow wise and en-
counter the vicissitudes of living.
Let our children be innocent
and beautiful as long as they
can; let them glory in the myths
of childhood. What if the myths
are not true, what possible harm
can there be in filling the infant
heart with the joy of expecta-
ton?
There was a time before the
day OF furnace heat and apart
ment buildings, when children
used 70 waLcn me glow OF the
Goals on Christmas eve and won
der how Santa Clause could
climb down the chimney.
More than one little one has
with a hearth broom swept out
the chimney so that dear old San
ia would not get covered with
SCOT. They were the happy days
when we used to cuddle together
on the rug, hear the cackle of
the coal and wonder what the
morning would bring us. We
have even tossed restlessly in
our anxious sleep and dreamed
that we heard the jingle of the
sleigh bells and the prancing of
reindeer feet on the roof.
Perhaps it showed, during the
night. In the vivid Imagination
of childhood we could almost see
the footprints of our midnight
visitor.
1t is a myth. yes; but such a
beautiful one. Parents with love
in their hearts for their youngs-
tiers will preserve the tradition
of Santa Claus as long as possible
they will let their children
dream in this land of illusion.
They will do all that they can to
perpetuate the wonderful legend
of Christmas. the season of
brotherly love and happiness. =
