Y. at the Glade Room H O T E L ALPINE Come in for your Favorite Cocktail Yes, Virginia— There Is A Santa Claus We are herewith reprinting the l e t t e r w r i t t e n b y a little girl, named Virginia many long years ago to the E d i t o r o f t h e L e v , Y o r k S u n and the answer from the Editor to Virginia. IS TH E R E A SANTA CLAUS? ---------------------------------- Dear Editor: I am 8 years old. Some of my friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says if you see it in the Sun, it’s so. Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus? Virginia 0 ’Hanlon 115 West Ninety-fifth Street Virginia received the following answer and we advise every one, young and old to read it: VIRGINIA, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men’s or children’s are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as com pared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge. Yes, VIRGINIA, there is a SANTA CLAUS. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no SANTA CLAUS. It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense’ and sight. The eternal light-with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished. Not to believe in SANTA CLAU S! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas eve to catch SANTA CLAU S, but even if they did not see SANTA CLAUS coming down what would that prove? Nobody sees CLAUS but that is no sign that there is no SANTA CLAUS. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that’s no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the won ders there are unseen and unseeable in the world. — Yorrtear apart the baby’s rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there i s a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man! nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived could -teai^apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside the curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it real? Oh, VIRGINIA, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding. NO SANTA CLAUS! THANK GOD! he lives, and he lives forever A thousand years from now, VIRGIN A, nay ten^ times ten thousand years from now he will continue to make the heart of childhood.
