red skinned apples, cut into tiny pieces
convenient for birds to peck at, were
a prominent feature of the decorations,
and so were bacon rinds and Jumps of

In the little bodies when the cold creeps

Miss Louise. who spent most of her
time In the country, studied the ways
of the birds and their lillings, and she
knew that they are as strongly attract
ed by bright colored things as are chill
dren. That is why the tree was made
pretty with gay tinted berries.
There was a large attendance, and
no birds were turned away, no matter
how shabby their coats or disreputable
their regulations. The clustering little
English sparrows were welcomed with
the rest, although they tried to bully
the others. Even grOuchy old Sir Crow
was permitted to peck bit.

The father of Clement Clarke Moore

Moore had written II the preceding
Christmas Just for the delight Of his

unknown friend sent II for publication.
The Sentinel readers paid no attention
TO It, and Ii passed without comment
until seven years later, when the same
paper reprinted It. The second recep-
ton was very different from the first,
"A Visit From ST. Nicholas" as It was
then entitled, was copied broadcast,
and Its author awoke to find his work,

The Spanish Santa Claus.

In Spain, however, II Is not Santa
Claus, but one of the three kings, no
less person, indeed. than Balthasar,
who is the purveyor Of gifts. He Is
always represented as negro, even
in the pictures Of the old masters. and
as such he survives in Spanish legend.
On the eve of the Epiphany the chill
dren leave their shoes and boots out In
some convenient spot near the chin
ney, to find them laden with gifts In
the morning. Boots. In fact, preceded
the stocking everywhere, the superior
advantages Of the latter as recep-
tacle having been a recent discovery.
In Belgium to this day the chiMren
give their shoes an extra fine polish on
Christmas eve, fiji them with hay. oats
or carrots for Santa Claus white horse
and put them on the table or set them
In the fireplace. The room Is then
carefully closed and the door locked.
In the morning strange thing Is
found to have occurred. The furniture
Is all turned tOpsy turvy, the fodder
has been removed from the shoes, and
in It's place the good little children find
all sorts of nice things and the bad
ones only rods made Of birch. In 9th.
er localities baskets, dishes and wood
en- ware are made the receptac!es. But
the elasticity Of the stocking, Its
adaptability and the fact that, while
II preserves the individuality OF the
owner like shoe, 1t may yet be clean
ed and made ready for the reception
of edible presents--these characteris-
ties have caused 1t to grow into general
favor among the juvenile vOtaries OF
Santa Claus.
