'Now, goodby,'
said JacU. "I'm
going to look for

marched off like
a man, with his
hands in his pock
ets.
"Topsy." said
Nan after he had
gone, "do you
know It is the
day before Christmas and we won't
get a single present tomorrow?"
But Topsy was not despondent
"What's de mattah wld Marstf Santa
Onus?" she demanded. "Aln" he coin
In' to dls lslan'7 Dat'a w hut I ask."
"Why, Topsy." explained little Nan
patiently, "how could he? His rein
deer couldn't cross the water."
"Let him come In a boat. den. Data
whut I say. Let him come lu a boat."
said Topsy fiercely.
"Oh," aakl Nan, "but I am afraid he
can't."
Suddenly Topsy sat Up and pointed
a skinny black linger toward the sea.
"It's a boat." she said, "a little bouL
and It's coming here."
Nearer and nearer came the little
boat, and presently Topsy shrieked:
"It's Mnrse Santa Claus. MlM Nannie.
It's Marse Santa Clans, and he's coin
In' straight to dls yer Islan'. Didn't I
tole yer? Didn't 1 tole yer he'd come?"
The man In the boat had a nice
white beard. He bad on a red sweater
and wore a soft hat pulled well down
over bis ears As he climbed out of
the boat they saw that he was very
round and fat and had a Jolly red face.
When he had pulled the boat op out
of the water lie leaned over and picked
up a great bag and slung It over his
shoulder and came trotting up Hip
beach.
"It truly Is Santa," said Nan breath
lessly, "and he is coming straight to
ward us. I am going to run right
down and meet him."
Away she sped, her golden curls fly
Ing behind her. and when she reached
the old man she alipped her hand into
his confiding:.!
"I'm awfully rfad you came. Santa."
she said "We were so frightened and
lonely, and maybe yon can tell us what
to do "
The old in m stood still and stared at
her. Then be ctiockled.

Just then .lack came running down

"It's Santa Cetna." called Nan sa

But Igi t was older than Topsy and
Nan. and lie bad Ids doubts. "Are you

The oiit man winked. "Don't I look

"Yea." -aid Jack, -you do."
"Ain't i u-ot a park on my back?" he

THE HOLIDAY PARTY.
A Few Suggestions For Enlivening
Yuletide Evenings.
In cities balloons are almost always
obtainable, so get bright red ones and
try this novel scheme for a children's
party. Surround the cake with tiny
candlesticks or candelabra holding red
tapers and sprinkle the cloth with hol
ly sprays aTid dlnniond dust (Christ
mas suowi.
From the back of each chair tie a
red ribbon ou the end. floating gayly
iu the air a red balloon. Here is the
way to give the favors (red snapping
motto caps): Tie oue to the end of the
string of a red balloon and let it go
away up to the celling.
If the snapper is not heavy enough
weight it with chocolate cigarette or
one of the runny hard, all chocolate
shapes that children love. Tbeu let
each little guest eateb a balloon aud
bring it down to earth. To make more
fnu each balloon may have a card at

and each must fad his own.
