The electric spell of snowy nights

you meet an acquaintance his hello

Actually, there must be a Santa
Claus. Children and old folks know
there is, even though the skeptics
don't believe in him. l once asked
an old man who was comforting a
little girl who had just been told
there was no Santa Claus why he
put the faith back in the child, and
he told me:
"Who or what do you suppose

Now l again believe in Santa

in good faith and then l didn't be-

Now l deplore the years l wasted
discrediting his good name. For
