"D OSALIND was engaged to be married.
She was to be married the
day after Christmas. She couldn't
very well be married before then as
her fiance was so especially, unusually
busy at Christmas time, and it
wouid have been cruel, too, not to have
waited.
F*r Bill, her beloved, took the part
of a Santa Plaus every Christmas for
one df the big city stores. He was an
ideal Santa Claus. He wasn't too tall,
lie wgs not top short; he was rather
inclined to A stockinets of build, and
extra clothes made him look an ideal
round S4?ta. He had a ruddy face
and snapping blue eyes?and dressed
in a Santa Clausf costume he was perfect.

"It will be an annual romance to see
