he wan so happy that he sang as he

their mother: "Oh, mother, how many
days until Christmas?"
The busy mother felt the days Lille
by all ton rapidly, but the children
counted the days and were very bit -
patient, At last they shouted in glee,
"Santa Clone will come to -night, and
to -morrow Is Merry Christmas."
They hung up their stockings, and
when their mother came to kiss them
roodanight they said, "We are going

After she had gotto downstairs Willie

"Yes, but I am so tloepy. 1 do wish

Annie. "I can hardly hold my eyes

"I ale) sleepy, too,".said Willie, with

'.l'hn next thing dont they knew Ari-
lnin and Willie wore way up in the
mirth pole country, with snow and ice
around them on all since, and right in

"Trow I wish that we could go through
this hall," said Willie, and jnst thou
his wish canto true, for they went
right through a gateway into the
strangest garden, It tuns Et garden of
toys, and Annie and Willie could hard-
ly believe their eyes at the wonders

'clanging ever• the wall they saw
something that looked like trrorning-
glories, but they were really toy talk,

ing vete-flowers, Willie picked a )runt -
pet and played on it. "Toot -toot -toot

"We really do not know, Mr. Santa

"Yes, indeeeli" said Santa Claus. "I
ant glad to have such good helpers.
Will you please go over to that garden

And soon 'Villin was pulling up tops
which grow just like turnips, beets
and radishes. Then he climbed a tree
and picked red :mnrhlos, which grow
like cherries, and purple ntarblea,
which were liko grapes, and balls that
wove like apples and oranges.
A11 this time Annie was helping
Santa to pick dollies. There were

nets on their heads, which grew like

Oohing up their little tacos ut Annie

grass was a tiny soldier, with his
rifle held high, while soldiers' tents,
like mushrooms, sprang nP all around.

The First Christmas -Card.
The very first Christmas -card was
designed by a Royal Academician, the
late W. A. Dobson. He was a young
)man then—ft is over seventy years ago
—and he sketched a faintly group
toasting distant friends, surrounded
by Christmas greenery, and scut it to
a friend, who showed it round. The
next year many brother artists copied
the idea.
Then the business man saw money
in it, and began to produce cards in
large and ever -larger numbers, until
the production and distribution and
sale of Christmas -Dards became a great
international industry. But 12 the
Christmas -card again comes into its
pre-war popularity, it is to bo hoped
that too shall no longer see it email
print on so many minions of cards the
horrid words "Printed in Germany."
Let our token of peace and goodwill
bo printed at home, or let tis go with-
out then)!
