a ring and a horn. I wish you would bring mama a pair of shoes,
pins and handkerchief.

Dec. 16. -- Dear Santa Claus: I am so glad it is nearly time
for you to come. I write to tell you what I want you to bring
me. I want a pretty doll, a tea set and a little table. If you
have a pretty doll buggy I want it, too. You can bring me anything
else you want to. Good-by. Your friend,
Dallas, Dallas Co., Tex.,
Dec. 22. -- My Dear Santa Claus: I must get my letter in before
it is too late. Please bring me a bicycle. I will not ask for
anything else if you will just bring me a bicycle. But if you
have anything left over that you do not want to take back to
the North Pole, just leave them in my apron and I will take care
of them with thanks. I am 10 years old. Thanking you for past
favors, your loving friend,
Dallas, Dallas Co., Tex.,
Dec. 23. -- Dallas News: I would like Santa Claus to bring me
a jungle book, "Tom Sawyer," lots of fireworks and
a box of No. 22 cartridges for my rifle. I won't need any candy
or cake, as we will have plenty at home. Don't forget the cartridges.
Dallas, Dallas Co., Tex.,
Dec. 23. -- Dear Santa Claus: I want a big doll, a doll buggy
and a table; also some candy and some fruit. Your little friend,
Dallas, Dallas Co., Tex.,
Dec. 20.-- My Dear Santa Claus: As I haven't told you what I
want I think it is about time I was doing so. I want some books,
a doll buggy for my doll, a doll piano, some shoes and stockings
for my big doll, some games, candy, apples, oranges, all kinds
of nuts and anything else you might think of. Be sure and come
to see me Christmas. I will leave the hall door unlocked. - o o o - |
