I carried a bishop's curled golden crook aa I was solemnly escorted to the throne through the "kingdom of toys." It was an Impressive throne room, with glittering, changing colored lights, singing birds and soft green trees,, a fountain and a gilded throne under a big golden canopy an a platform. Fo' four hours I sat, shaking hundreds of soft, little hands. I was looked at by thousands of wide eyes. They stared at my huge white beard, my thick snowv mous tache, my gold chain and glittering diamond and ruby cross. Tiny voices, one after the other, said, "Bonjour. St. Nicholas" and then. In whispers: "May I have a car?" "I'd like a bicycle" "I want a desk" and again and again little girls asking for a "doll which says mamma." TONGUES In bilingual Belgium saints must be bilingual too.

A tiny baby girl walked up the steps of my throne, hands out stretched, looked around and whis pered. "T love you 8t. Nicholas." and ran away with tears sparkling In her big brown eyes. When It was over I walked from my throne solemnly through ril those toys and there I was in the wet. cold street. "No beard, no mitre, no Santa Claus any more. But It all bad been wonderful.
