} | HHT WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURVAY, DECEMBER 17, 1921 RRRRRRRRR ol Plea For Santaly [eT Te tT Te By This is thé season when the old, old tale is told of Santa Claus in his sleigh, urging his reindeer over the housetops that he may descend each chimney and fill the stockings hung in the fireplace on Xmas Eve. Per- haps, if a vote could be taken, this myth would be found to be the onc, out of all fairy-lore, that lies closest to every little child's heart. Can't you remember the breath-taking thrill with which you once listened to "The Night before Christmas"? Drop into any kindergarten; the vision of eager faces and shining eyes as the teacher begins in a tone of hushed mystery: "Twas the Night before Christmas, And all through the House, Not a creature was stirring-- Not even a Mouse'-- --will take you back over the years to the wonder-time of unlimited an- ticipation. But how often have you heard older brothers and sisters sneeringly break down all a child's illusions of Christ- mas Eve? Then his grief and dis- appoinment is so poignant that any parent may well be dismayed at the task of putting "Humpty Dumpty tc- gether again". To those whose men- tal adaptability is such that they can reason upon a child's plane of thought is given the blessed opportunity not only to. restore the halo of benevol- ence about St. Nicholas' white head, but to grant the little one a vision of the Santa Claus spirit. For, oh! my friends, there is a Santa Claus. He lives in our hearts, and to the de- gree that we are able to visualize and appreciate his true character, just so much are we able to reflect Luise Clarke-Hawley his unselfishness and loving giving at Christmas time. When the illusion of Santa Claus is shattered (as it must be in every child's experience) won't vou rebuild it into a real and vital symbol of| human friendliness that a child can make a part of his mental and spirit- ual growth, gaining {fresh inspira- tion for unselfish giving with each succeeding Xmas tide? | Kenilworth Happenings Among those who attended the concert at the Illinois theater on Sun- day last, given for the benefit of the "Off the Street Club," were Mr. and Mrs. Edward Wheeler, Mr. and Mrs: Frederick Cole, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Hulbert, and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Young.
