 Betty sat down on a stool and tugged at her wet shoes.
 "But remember what you prom ised, Mother - remember. If I'm good and help and get ready for bed extra early, you'll read The Night Before Christmas to Joe and Pete and me-just before we go to bed-and-"
 She stopped, breathless with excitement.

 Mrs. Carter stood still in the middle of the kitchen floor looking hopeless and unhappy as her beaming, bright-eyed little daugh- ter smiled up at her confidently It was cruel, thought Mrs. Garter, to let the child 90 on expecting all the things she obviously wasnt [ going to get, but
 She set the cookies down on the table and answered.:

That man was Clement Clarke Moore and he wrote the poem we all say every Christmas Twas the night before Christmas. ]"
 "'When all through the house, not @ creature was stirring-not even mouse. .'" Betty inter- rupted. She smiled up at her teacher, bright . eyed and happy, her faith restored.
 "Did anyone ever really see him?" she persisted.
 "Very little children do--those who believe very hard. He lives right here"-Alice put her hand over Betty's heart--"and the faith of millions of children for years and years has kept him real"
 Betty's joy shone in her smile.

 Betty Garter skipped along the snowy street, blissfully unaware of the cold, and of the snow which had almost ceased falling Her own street. Park avenue, seemed a strangely magical new world in its beautiful snow cover ing.
 The vast home of the Donald sons loofned like a castle at the upper, or correct, end of Park avenue. Far down at the wrong end of the street was Betty's home, sagging and paintless.
 Betty fingered in front of Don- aldson's, staring entranced at the tall dark pine trees covered with snow, at the brightly lighted win- dows of the Donaldson home, each decorated with a wreath and can- de. Then she caught sight of a man, who slowly approached her as he shoveled snow.
 HI, Daddyi" she called happily, hurrying over to him.
 Hello there, Betty. Why so late coming home from school?"
 Carter leaned on his shovel, stared unhappily at his golden- haired daughter in her shabby blue coat. She was 50 small and trustful. He thought bitterly-she must have a good Christmas this

 Jim Garter shook his head, tried to look stern.
 "Run along, darling, tell mother not to wait dinner. I'll be home as soon as can. Hustle up now Mother will be worrying"
 She left him. reluctantly and he resumed his shoveling.
 The houses grew less impressive as she travelled down Park avenue toward the shabby end of the street. Only one house lay beyond the Garter home, a gaunt square old boarding house that put an abrupt termination to the neandering street.
 Betty rushed into her home, straight to the arms of her mother. There was the smell of freshly baked cookies in the air, a warmth and nominees that belied the shabby furniture and worn rugs. A fire crackled in the little fire- place.
 "Cookies Christmas cookies! Gingerbread men for Christi masl" Betty sang out, hugging her mother. "Oh, I'm so happy, Moth- CT. I'm almost bursting, I'm 50 happy"

They walked along the main street together, in silence for moment. Glittering window decorations and street lights sent cleaning shafts through the dark ness. The soft strains of a familiar Christmas carol came from one of the stores. Thoughtful, Alice Banks weighed her answer to the child's all-important question.
 "Betty, the Christmas spirit is almost as old as the world" she began. Tt goes back almost to the time of Christ, when @ good St. Nicholas helped the poor and

that he "just can't get interested in

there is no use provoking any one.
