How He Accomplished It Sir Eric (Jeddes once remarked that before doubting any statement a man may make, no matter how seemingly Incredible it sounds, one should be quite sure as to its precise meaning. In order to illustrate his contention he w ent on to instance the case’of a friend of his who knew a little about ‘Do You Believe in Santa ( bills? ft Some years ago a little girl named Virginia wrote to the New York c un asking if there was really a Santa Claus, saying': “Papa says, Tf vou jcoe it in The Sun, it is true.’” The Sun’s answer has been piiuted in so many papers and magazines that it has come to be known as ‘ The Sun’s better to Virginia.” It is as foll.wvs: “Yes, Virginia, there is a Sa ita Claus. He exists as certainly as Jove and generosity and devotion "'xist, and you know that they abound and give your life its highest^fleauty ind joy. Alas, how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! If would be as dreary as if there wore no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith, no poetry, no romance We should have no enjoyment except jn sensrand sigVit. Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire nen to watch in all the chimneys on Christ mas Eve to catch Santa Claus, hut even if they did not see him, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign there is no S^nta Claus. Did you ever see the fairies dancing on the lawn? Of even as slit .plainly told him how she regarded him. He did not wonder that his close, friend, Elmer Hayes, was finding her beauty almost mesmeriz ing—her dark hair, Qih-k and lustrous, made even more uiqisual and appeal ing the odd goldenrtint of her eyes. “I understand your feeling,’’ he said calmly, “but I also know that you have stepped In between the girl to whom he is engaged ami with whom he would be happy—” j She laughed her metallic laugh that was far from the velvety affair she used with Elmer. “How do you know that?’’ “You know very well, yourself. You are *simp)y playing with Elmer—Just ns 1 am aware you have \yith others. You are shallow* treacherous, and you’ll come pretty close to wrecking a fine chap and a fine girl’s happiness!” “I’ooh, Wells. It is unfortunate that you end 1 happened to grow up to- geflier. As for Elmer, I like him.'’ “The point Is—would you marry him?” “That Is iqy business, my friend. Now you better goT” When Wells reached the apartment he sharedWllh Elmer, he found the latter busy with a small package which fie was undoing. —“Lojuk^nt this,-old man .
