$50 Look at What Have Brought"
mas Eve is the most marvellous of all
anywhere.
And on this special Christmas Eve,
Santa Claus paid the fairies flying
visit, just after old Mr.. Red Sun had
gone to bed and when it was dark
enough for the little boys and girls not
to see him as he drove along with his
reindeer.
"How I love words like cram and
'jam,'" Santa Claus said. Eyes, love
the very words that mean cram and
jam their stockings full of goodies.
"But / must tell you about the let
ters.
"The letters this year that have
come up the chimney have been count
less in number.
"Dear me-. but I did have time
reading them! Somehow the little
boys and girls grow nicer every single
year.
"And as busy as am just love to
get so many letters and love every sin
gle one of them, too"
Santa's old jolly red face wrinkled
up in smiles.
"But," he continued, II must be off
soon. So look at what I've brought
all of you"
At that big bag which looked so
crammed and so damned that 1t
might burst at any moment, was sud-
denly flung before the Queen Of the
Fairies and all the lovely presents
fell out.
"Ah, a new chariot, and fine air.
Ships" said the Queen of the Fairies.
"And a coach and four---and good
ness knows what else! Look, little
fairies, and woodland creatures"
Such merriment and such delight
and such happiness in Fairyland, when
somehow the reindeer seemed to be
growing very impatient.
"Ah," said Santa Claus, "the best
present Of all is from my lovely rein
deer"
1t was Christmas pudding, and
how delighted the fairies were to
think they were going to have one Of
Santa's Christmas buildings, presented
by his reindeer, for their Christmas.

catholicism Christianity itself would
perish. without Christianity the civili-

barbarism.

gracefully shaped, which gives them unusual
grace and elegance, both in walking and stand
