scheduled appearance at z p. m.
on Christmas Eve, the children
were keyed up to the pitch neces-

for weeks, sorting, wrapping and

no one was forgotten. Gifts came

no artificial padding, for one thing
and he was not known to the chill

with Santa was all the easier and
more real When he arrived, he
was pulling a hospital cart, loaded
with shopping bags-one for each
child. We had labeled the beds
and made sure each one was in
readiness, SO he could glibly call
every child by name, since Santa
is supposed to know every one.
Some of the tiny ones watched
him in wide-eyed wonder, others
reached out to touch him or to
shake hands, while still others
jumped up and down in glee, clap
ping their hands and shouting

What busy time every one had
