Dear Bobby:

Bob or course was delighted with
this, and he noticed that from the
time of its receipt everything about
the house seemed 10 take on certain
cheeriness. Bobby laid in wait for Pc

a lot of questions as TO how and where
Santa Claus gave him the letter. Pc

tell children anything about Santa

his mamma had told him there would

no satisfaction, though she took him
In her arms and gave him bear hug
and dozen kisses. She seemed as
happy as IL she expected Santa Claus
to bring everything she wanted for
Christmas.
The day before Christmas a mes
senger boy came with a telegram for
Mrs. Sawyer. She tore off the enyel-
ope and read Ii, and looked very hap
py, giving the messenger a half dol
lar. Bobby asked what the telegram
was about. She told him 1t was about
a Christmas gift she and all the rest
OF the family were to receive, and
when Bobby kept asking again and
again what is it mamma?" she gave
him another bear hug and smothered
him with kisses.
Bobby had a sister, Edith. twelve
years old, and brother Jim, ten. Both
of them were too old to syrhpathize
with Bobby in his faith in Santa Claus
bringing him the gift he had promised
him In his letter Indeed they didn't
believe Santa Claus really wrote LET
ters to children. BOBBY tried his best
TO get out OF Edith or Jim what made
their mother so happy, but they would
not tell. Indeed they seemed almost
as happy as she. Having failed with
them Bobby tried Peter the postman.
Peter said he suspected Santa Claus
had something to do with the family
happiness, but he was not sure. So
poor Bobby was obliged to swallow his
curiosity and wait for Christmas morn.

But the sandman soon began to drop

When Bobby awoke the sun was

the word ''Bobby!" shouted in his ears |

before him and looking down

"Why. papa!' he exclaimed, "T

The message of Christmas is love
Its emblem is radiant, thankful. con
tented childhood. Without love and
without children there could be nc
real Christmas. The form might sur
v1ye but the substance would be lack.
ing.
Unhappy must be the adult who can
not make himself a child again in
spirit ut the Yuletide. For Christmas
Is the universal children's day. Men
and women are superfuous except as
they make themselves partners with
those whom the day glorifies.
Let US, then, lay aside the affecta-
ton and arrogance of manhood and
womanhood and be children again.
Let us adopt their point OF view and
put ourselves in their places-in the
places of these sons and daughters of
ours and Of the sons and daughters of
our neighbors. 1t was only a year or
two ago, as 1t seems, when we hung
our well-worn stockings In a row along
the mantel shelf, while our fathers
and mothers looked on with unfeigned
pleasure at the innocent confidence we
showed in what the morrow would
bring forth.
Even as you and l. It all comes
back In floOd of memories. Life
was simpler then. Our desires were
less pretentious than those our chill

The same happy childhood, the same
restlessness, the same snail-like creep

The same parenthood, too-the same

ST. Winnitred
and the Tree

One story of the origin of the green
tree as the Christmas tree among the
people Of northern Europe is given I'm
q legend Of st. Winnifred. 1t is one
OF the many thousands of those SIM
pie and beautiful beliefs that have at
tached themselves to the midwinter
FESTIVAL and which generally pass now
under the name of christmas myths"
1t is related that st. Winnifred, a great
Christian missionary, began cutting
down sacred" oak which had been
the object of worship by the northern
paganS whom he was seeking to lead
Alright. While he was hewing down the
huge tree 1t was blasted by sudden
whirlwind. Close beside it was a
young fir tree, which was not harmed
either by the whirlwind or by the fall
OF the giant oak. Then st. Winnifred
is reported to have spoken as follows
to the pagans:
Ihis little tree, young child of
the forest, shall be your holy tree to-
night. 1t is the wood of peace. for
your homes are built of ii. 1t is the
sign of an endless life, for its leaves
are always green. See how it points
toward heavenl Let this be called the
tree of the Christ Child. Gather about
1t; not in the wild woods, but in your
homes; there 1t will shelter no deeds
OF blood, but loving gifts and acts of
Kindness"
The fir tree, the common evergreen
OF the northern regions. became the
holy tree of the converted pagans. and
In Its honor or in memory Of the
thoughts 1T stood for they decorated 1t
with lights and gifts at Christmas.
