friends are wrong. They have been at of a skeptical age ? they do not believe - they think that nothing can be which is their little minds. "All minds. Virginia, whether they be men's or children's, are little. "In this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect, an ant. in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him. as measured by the intelligence capable oi grasping the whole of trod!' and knowledge. "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. "He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion ex ist. and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no en joyment. except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished. "Not believe in Santa Clausl You might as well not believe in fairies! "You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chim neys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Clau$ coming down, what wculd that prove? No bod/ sees Santa Claus. but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus ? the most real things in the world are those neither chil dren nor men can see. . "Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not. but that's no proof that they are not there ? nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders that are unseen and unseeable in the world. "You tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, or even the united strength of all the strongest men. that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside the curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond!" "Is it all real? ? ah. Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding. "No Santa Claus! Thank God! ? he lives, and he lives forever ? a thousand years from now, Virginia, nay. ten thousand years (com now, be will continue to make qlad the heart of childhood." One Decembei day m 1897.
