SANTA’S PLAN
You know that if you haven't a
fireplace in your house you can leave
your letters for Santa Claus by the
fire escapes if you live in an apart-
ment house.
In fact Santa Claus can find out
just where all his letters are and
daddies are always told where Santa
Claus is going to have all his branch
post offices.
A little boy named Jack wanted an
airplane—a toy make-believe airplane
for a Christmas present.
Well, Jack wrote a letter to Santa
Claus and this is what he wrote, after
addressing it to Mr. Santa Claus, Care
the Fireplace:
“Dear Santa Claus:
“My name is Jack—that is I am
called Jack though my real name is
John.
“But don’t ever speak of me as
John, for though I think it is a very
nice name and though I don’t object to
it in the least, still I am never called
anything but Jack. 2
“I like Jack for a name, too, don't
you, Santa Claus? :
“It’s so easy to say.
“I tell you all this, Santa Claus, so
you won't ask for John's ‘stocking
when you're around on Christmas eve.
“Please, Santa Claus, don't forget to
ask for Jack's stocking!
“And for Jack’s house—not John’s
house. There are other Jacks. in the
Santa Claus Received That Letter.
world, but I'm the only Jack in my
house, so you will know.
“Please, Santa Claus, give me a
little toy airplane. For when I am
grown-up I want to go up in the air
in a real one! 2
“I'd love to fly and so I'd like a
little airplane which would .y around
the room as I've seen them do in the
store.
« “The store at the second corner
after you pass my house has one.
“It looks like a nice one, too.
“Wishing you a merry Christmas,
“Your loving friend,
“JACK.”
Well, Santa Claus received that iet-
ter, and he went to the store and he
asked the man to save that very air-
plane for him which Jack had ad-
mired. 2
And when Christmas morning comes
Jack will receive his airplane.
Don’t you think he’ll be very, very
happy about it?
And can’t you just see the fun he'll
have flying it about, and how he'll be
thinking and planning for the days
when he is grown-up and can go up
in a real one.
Another thing Santa Claus is going
to give Jack is a book on men who
have been fine aviators, so Jack will
be able to learn a great deal about
aviation in plenty of time for his fly-
ing days!
It is certain Jack will have a Merry
Christmas!
