And W85 not the charm accentuated by the lsllolviecigc that the gifts had come directly from the Jolly Old Elf of Christmas? Those joyous hours of play were the privilege of every child, a, privilege which all admit- ted was the right of the little ones. and which none should be denied. Today the same principles hold true. But in many cases Claus is now unable to visit many homes. However, he is again rely- ing on his faithful Santa Pals to see that the beloved little oncs are made happy on Christmas.
