" . - The sons and daughters of men are df two classes not the rich or the poor, not the young or the old, not liberals or conservatives, nor even Aristotelians or Platonists, but those who believe in Santa Claus and those who do not. Children are of the first and more glorious family. Hence they grow; hence they burst with life. They be lieve, and r so have faith.that good comes riding out of the air, with jingling bells and prancing reindeer, its pack crammed with gifts, its round and smiling coachman breathing benev olence 'and cheeriness and hastening to fulfill every wish that is dreamed on dented pillow. Alas! when doubt creeps in, when the eyes and ears of the spirit no longer see or hear and demand comes for physical evidence, then all the high faculties wither and pass away. "' The walls of the prison house tend to close around the growing child. He credits the slander that there is no Santa Claus. " Poison enters into him and he degenerates into an animal that merely touches or tastes. Thrice blessed are they whoare able to keep an imagination green and lasting and to subdue or drive away all forces that would throttle it. The rites of Christ mas, after all, are mainly for the old folks, their absence representing the instinct to keep alive the divinq sparks ofyouth. A little one that, no longer petitions good St. Nick is a sad spect acle; even sadder is theman or woman to whom his myth has lost its savor To such when the sun goes down and the west fades -the heavens fill with no shining stars. The period through- which mankind has passed has been marked by a duel between those who hope and those who despair between those who believe in Santa Claus and those who do not. Let us rejoice that the quiv ering balance is now definitely inclin ing to the better side. Beyoung, be forever young never has the old text been more vindicated than in these days. ' ' Unclogged with prudence and limp ing with no rheumatism, youth, shout ing to laggards, "Would you live for ever?" plunged forward through four terrible years, furnishing new reasons for respecting humanity. Then came the sere and yellow leaf of the stay-at-homes. They sought to turn off the fountains of faith. But, happily, their grip is loosening and the sweet waters flow again. Whether your youhgster hangs up stockings or not, don't your self, Mr. and Mrs. Grown-up, lose your own credulity.
