eompanying the original manuscript
when it was presented to the society
by T. w. Moore, a relative, some fifty
years ago, is letter in which the
writer tells how the verses came to
be written and how 1t happened that
they were eventually published.
Mr.. Moore lived at the time in a
handsome house overlooking the Hud-
son, at Ninth avenue and Twenty
third street. Then Chelsea, like Green
witch village, further south, was quite
remote from the city. Each was large
ly populated by the Dutch settlers
from Nieuw Amsterdam. Living near
his country seat was pOrtly, rubi-
cund Dutchman, who suggested to
him the idea of making st. Nicholas
the hero of a Christmas piece for his
children.
1t was, however, with no thought Of
its ever being published that Mr..
Moore wrote the poem, but the lines
were copied by a relative of the au-
thor In her album. From 1t another
copy was made by a friend of hers
from Troy. Some time later, much to
the surprise of DR.. Moore, it was for
the first time published in news
paper. BY such small chance was this
choice little poem saved for posterity.
In those days there was no such
celebration of Christmas rs is now the
case, but DR.. Moore, having absorbed
the ancient traditions of his Dutch
neighbors, wove them into the poem
for his children. He did more than
that, for he built up around the CEN
trail thought an Interpretation which
has gradually come to be our own.
AS some one has so aptly said, 1t has
become so much part and parcel Of our
literature that it seldom occurs to peo-
pie 1t ever had an author. Since for
nearly hundred years American chill
dren have been fed on it, 1t has now
become theirs in very truth.

LITTLE book bound in red
morocco holds the kernel
of the children's celebration
tho world over Of Christmas.


To look at II no one would dream its
hidden words are even now vibrating
in the hearts Of countless children,
yet the charm its bright covers en-
brace is perennial. 1t Is the manu-
script of the famous children's classic,
"a Visit from st. Nicholas" written
by Clement c. Moore almost q hundred
years ago, and dedicated to his own
children in particular, and, as 1t has
since proved, to childhood the world
over.
This season it has as its companion
in the library Of the New York County
Historical society in Central Park West
a Photographic copy Of the original
text enlarged sufficiently to enable 1t
to be easily read, for though the orig
inal chirography is quite remarkable
for a man of DR.. Mo9re's years-eighty-
two when he indfted the poem-it
is fine and old-fashioned, and there
fore somewhat difficult to read.
The innovation has proved a rare
treat to the library patrons, and 1t is
interesting to note with what rever-
ence it is handled by men and women
whose childhood days are long past,
yet whose holiday memories are still
bright. Two pages and half are con-
sumed in committing the poem to
paper, and the repetition of the old
familiar lines brings to mind pleasant
thoughts of the season, for no one has
ever visualized our American Christ
mas from the children's viewpoint as
has Clement c. Moore in his rare
little poem.
The lines were written as Christ
mas gift for the authors two young
daughters nearly century ago, but IT
has since become a progressive gift
to countless other girls and boys. Ac'

HOME BUILDING TO
!. Be POPULAR NOW
Plans Can Be Revived as Restric-
tions Are Removed.
MUCH ROOM IN THIS HOUSE
Good Design for Use Either In City or
Small Town Where Narrow
lot Is to Be Used by
the Builder.
BY WILLIAM A. RADFoRp.

Mr.. william A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject Of building. for the readers OF this
paper. On account OF his wide experience
as Editor, Author and Manufactures, he
Is. without doubt. the highest authority
on all these subjects. Address all inquiries
to William A. Radford, No. 1927 Prairie
avenue, Chicago, Ill. and only enclose
hree-cent stamp for reply.
Finding a home has been an arduous
job in many cities and towns during
the last two years. While the de-
mands of industry have drawn many
workers from the rural communities
the restrictions on building made nee
essary by the war have kept the
builders from providing the homes
that the demand ordinarily would pro-
duce.
Now, however, the restrictions have
been removed and building can go on.
This building of homes is being fos-
tered by the United States govern
ment, which, through William b. VIII
son, secretary of the U. S. department
Of labor, is urging the necessity of
building to provide work for those of
the building trades who have been re-
leased from military duty.
During the next few weeks there
will be an active "build a building"
campaign. which is expected to great
ly stimulate the construction of
homes. The thoughts Of thousands of
those who long have desired to have
home of their own will be turned to
the subject of building. And as these
thoughts take form, the prospective
builders will be studying plans for
their home.
For the Small Lot.
Herewith is shown a modern design
for a home in town or city where
space is more limited than in the coun-
try. This house Of stucco is "a feet

Connected that there is not the neces-
sity Of going ''around" one to get to
another.
The exterior view shown gives an
idea OF how attractive II may be made
on the outside, considering that 1t is
planned for small city lot. The long
space In the sun parlor for window
boxes, the expanse along the front for
shrubs and the stretch of lawn all
make II attractive.
To those who are the owners OF
small lots In cities and towns, or who
are about to buy q building lot and do
not want to put into 1t the consider
able sum that is necessary where real
estate Is expensive, this design will
have a strong appeal.
The more the plan is studied the
more Ii will be seen that here is econ
omy Of space, coupled with an attrac-
tive and convenient home.
Small Homes Get Attention.
Some Of the best architects In the
country now are giving more and more
attention to the planning of small
homes. Because Of this fact, the de-
signs made nowadays embody some ex-
celient features. 1t should be remem-
bered when planning to build that the
small sum required as a fee to an ar
chitect is money well spent, in that 1t
saves costly mistakes and assures. the
best that can he secured for the money
expended.
Building this year is going to be ex-
tensive, so the family that intends to
be in its own home before winter
comes again ought to begin consider
ing the subject. This design gives an
excellent working basis from which to
formulate the plans for that home in
the city or town
