From Our Own Correspondent
Papeete, Jan. 2.
PAPA- NOEL —our Saint Nicholas —is quite as real to our South Sea chil dren as he is to little tots elsewhere in the world.
The problem of toys for our babies has been*difficult. Some toy animals of a new and strange species have been evolved. Rag dolls that look like visi tors from Mars have taken the place of the glamorous models of Hollywood blondes formerly available.
The spirit of Christmas is, neverthe less, unquenchable. Our babies have had quite as hilarious a time with their odd looking presents from Saint Nicholas, as have those of other lands with their model tanks, airplanes and rocket-bombs.
