Dear Little Children:
Tonight, coming home on the car,
| looked out at the evening star and
/ thought Of the story Of the Little
Star Beam." so l am going to tell
it to you.
Once there was the darlingest little
star, with the very best twinkle In
the whole sky, This star decided
that it would go visiting one evening.
visiting little sleeping children,
bringing them the stories that their
sleeping faces invited.
In the first window that the Star
Beam entered, it found child about
five years old sleeping, stealing
softly toward the child the Star
Beam paused, then darted swiftly
out and left the room in shadows.
the child's face had shown fretful to
the beam, and thought the Star, that
is a naughty child, going to bed in
such q bad humor, no sweet story
for. this house.
On the Star Beam went, In the
next window 1t found a sick baby,
gently phying over the bed the
Beam woye stories of lovely yards
and flowers and sweet things that
| children love. the baby smiled In Its
| sleep.
In the next window, what should
1t find but a pair of twins, merry
faces still smiling in sleep, here the
Star Beam stopped a long time, you
see that Star thought those twins
| deserved two good stories and so all
through the night, the Star travelled
| bringing happy stories to good chill
dren.
You try going to sleep with nice
clean faces and a good humor and
maybe the Star Beam will visit you
