"It Isn't Chrlstman time," they said per plexedly, "It's only April. But maybe she's decided to bccomo an Haster Bunny Lady also." And they went forward to Brest her with tho alacrity thnt the Santa Claus Lady's sparkling brown eyes and winning smllo always beset. But when sho asked them to spread out their Christmas wares, their wonderment Increased, because whereas the Santa Claus Lady Invariably used to muse out loud: "I wonder If they will like this and I wonder If thoy will llko that"; this time she kept constantly saylnc: "I wonder If sh,o will like this ; I wondor If she will like that." "You see. It va3 llko this," explained Mrs. Blrchall Hammer, who was Miss OHe May Wilson, nnd who Mill li tho Santa Claus Lady after tho shopping expedition. "I really was buying my toyh in advance for all of my adopted kiddles, but I couldn't keep In tho background tho fact that I've a baby my very own now and, of course, I'd be Influenced In tho choice of gifts for the other youngsters by what I Imagined to be her tasto, even though she Is only nn Infant" At this moment there Issued from a fray-hooded perambulator, which stood In thl drawing room of tho Santa Claus LafJy's home, a self-conscious chuckle. It was followed by a series of peremptory gurgles. The Santa Claus Lady cocked an attentive! ear nnd obeyed the summons, lifting to view a pink, three-months-old morsel of hu manity. Then she put her mouth to the little Kewple's shell-liko car and In Infant languago convoyed tho information that there was a Terrible One present who would "write her up" If sho didn't behave. Just as though It had been the most select King's English, Baby Olive Hammer understood, and In similar tonguo nssured her mother that her darling child would do nothing to cause maternal shame.

"I thought I had better be prepared," the Santa Claus Lady told me, "and so I wrote to the kind people who send me money every yenr and told them that I was going shopping months ahead of time. "Last year I sent gifts to 64,000 children ; this year 1 expect to look out for 100,000. It's Impossible to keep the list from growing and I don't want to If tho generosity of cer tain good people keeps pace with It. , "Tho war, In addition to my baby, has made the problem of getting the gifts rendy more difficult. There are no more wonderful German toys to be had." "I hope my youngster! won't be too dis appointed," she continued, "but I Just can't get any dolls The American dolls are simply atrocious. They hae no expres sion ; tlfpy'ro Inartistic nnd poorly made. Maybe the fact that we can't'get them now from Germany will make us hurry up and learn now to make tho adorable ones that iney turn out, nut at any late, I ve just not been able to get my hands on any thing fit in the way of dolls. But I've bought quantities of games, mechanical toys, paint boxes, tambourines, drums, jacks-ln-the-box, marbles and baseballs. I haven't nearly enough, of course, but I've made a good start." In the meantime, tho following letter, re ceived by tho Santa Claus Lady from a group of the adopted ones who signed thorn solves "Your llttlo friends of the 900 block South Front street," shows that her big family of children has no Intention of let ting her forget them, just because she's ac quired a small, exclushe family, all her own: Dear Santa Claus Lady We send to you our love and best wishes and we also send to your dear little baby our loe and best wishes.

Wo all thank you for our presents. With much loe to you nnd the dear little baby. Baby Olive lUtened to the rending of this missive with a pleased expression. "Jealous?" she was asked. "Not In the least," she replied In com plncent baby fashion, nnd from tho way the Santa Claus Lady looked nt her, one knew sho was quite right about It after all. GOOD HEALTH QUESTION BOX By DR.
