Most brides expect to be kept in all the little luxuries to which they haven't been accustomed. On Christmas Eve, when the rush of buying and wrapping and whispering is over, to those grown-ups who are slightly wearied with the varied interpretations of the Christmas Spirit and to those youngsters who are "victims of a Rkep tical age," we urge the reading of the famous editorial, "Is There A Santa Claus?", reprinted below from the old New York Sun; 1 It was written by Francis P. Church, editorial writer on the Sun in the time of Dana, and has been printed, as the classic expression of Christmas sentim)nnt, more mil lions of times than any other newspaper article ever written by any newspaper writer in any language. ; A La Ginnde gentleman, perhaps a bit bewildered by the onnwll'of good cheer and unftfmiliar'feetttfment,' thinks' that sending Christmas cards und giving holiday greetings is "a lot of hooey." Perhaps it is, but if that be true, we admit a liking for "hooey." This modern world is not too abund antly supplied with sentiment, in bur opinion, and when it is the sentiment of friendliness and good fellowship we doubt anyone's ability to: discover a more worthwhile outlet for mid-winter energy. Christmas greetings, in various forms, are concrete evidence of an abstract desire to show apprecia tion for human contacts and frfeudly understanding. We repent againwe like 'em! And thus admitting our own weakness for Christmas sentiment, we become bold and out spoken and wish you, our reader, a most happy and friendly Christnvis!

The Joy. of Till Of all the days we celebrate, Christmas is the one that inspires the most universal joy. Bells ring when princes are born, and toll their mournful dirge when great men pass away. Nations have their festive days, their carnivals and holidays; but once in the year, and just once, comes that happy day of world-wide observance. You can not cut Christmas out of the calendar nor out of the hearts of men. I Open thlH evening .N'oi'tun'N Kiddy Shop. II n I tl S:.1(l. 12-2:1-21. m;v vomt uin ixs. ro. Jiiilnn !;.

(Originally Printed in the New York Sun Sept. 21,-1897.) We take pleasure in answering at once and thus promin ently the communication below, expressing at the same time our great gratification that its faithful author is numbered among the friends of The Sun: "Dear Editor I am S years old. "Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Clans. "Papa says 'If you see it in The Sun it's so.' "Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Clans? Virginia O'llaulon. "115 West Ninety-fifth street." Virginia, yoiu- little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not Mievo except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or children's, are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an apt, in his intellect, us compared with the boundless world about nun. as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. lie exists as cer tainly as love and generosity nud devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how drearv would be the world if there were no Santa Clans! It would be as drearv as if viii-iu vi-ie Mrginias. more would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence Ve should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished. Not believe in Santa Clans! You might as well not believe in fames! QU miRnl yom. papa t() Uye myn ( m all the chimneys on Christmas eve to catch Santa Claus hut even il they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that pi we? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world arc those that neither children nor men can see Old you ever see fairies dancing, on the lawn? Of course not, but that s no proof that they are not there. Nobudv can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable m the world. You tear apart the luihy's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength Of all the strongest Men that ever lived, could tear apart Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that cur tain mid view and picture the supernal lieautv and glorv be yond. Is it nil real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding. No Santa Claus! Thank God! he lives, and he lives for ever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to'nmki. ,.i-i XOTICH OP SI OCKHOI, lllOHS' AN.VU.VI, .MKKTINt; Notice.
