They have asked, then, that air children not expecting Santa ClaM write to him in care of the Advance, asking not to be overlooked. Fear ing that some one who would like t write may be too sensitive and ahf ' to do so, the Advance suggests that any child, knowing of a friend r ' playmate or acquaintance who is Mt sure that his Christmas stocking wM bo full, write to Santa Claus aboat it, being sure to address the letter la care of the Advance.
