Santa Claus had just finished his
Christmas work. He had filled any

many stockings! And be had trimmed
trees and arranged presents. Gra-

bit of his work he had loved. He had

back and his RENDERS were taking
him home. He was calling out stories
about the children to them as they
went along, little notes he had re-

him little notes wishing him Merry
Christmas, and that pleased him so
much.
He told the reindeer too, of how
they looked and of Helen'S hair tied
up so tightly in rags so it would be
curly on Christmas day. And it had
looked quite quaint and pretty tied Sc
