Hundreds of children In all parts of the country write letters to "Sauta- Claus' in anticipation of Christmas, and it will be the fault of the Post-1 office Department, or, rather, of the law, that they are not answered. AI wealthy lady in Philadelphia the! other day wrote to Postmaster Gen- j era! Cortelou requesting that every letter intrusted to the mails and ad dressed to 'Santa Clau3' be forward-1 e.l to her, so that she might have the pleasure of granting, as far as possi ble, the requests of the little writers.
