‘lf I were Santa Claus,’ said mamma, softly, as she sat sewing on the first of January, ‘if I were Santa Claus, I think I’d make another trip about New Year. I think I’d just peep in at the windows and see how the children used their Christmas things. And then I’d know whether to come next year or not.’ Nelly and Ned and Floy glanced quickly up at the windows. What eracks there were between the curtains! ‘Why, of course, Floy,’ said Ned. ‘you can have my train of cars a while just as well as not.’ ‘Here’s your ball, Ned,’ said Nelly. ‘I won’t hide it again.’ And if Santa Claus had called within the next hour he would have gone away quite satisfied.
