Santa Claus was a busy man, at the

about a great lighted Christmas tree
and every one from the least to the
greatest in that great corporation re
ccived some gift from very gener
GUS Santa Claus.
For the ia children there were in
dividual gifts with the name of the
child. These were, given to &he chill.
dren as they stood with eager faces
in a great circle about the lighted
tree In addition they were given a
red carleton bag filed with popcorn
ball, orange and candy. Then there
were ice cream cones for every child.
Later they danced to the music of an
orchestra and played games while the
grown-ups of the party had ice cream
cake and coffee in the banquet room.

Z delight to all WHO were there. j.
l.. Brady was the personifcation OF
the old saint and filed the hearts of
the little folks with joy by explaining
that he doesn't scratch the names Of
little folks from his list for being

stftution of Christmas would have
been put out of business long ago.
