DEAR ST. NICHOLAS: As so many of your readers have written to you, I thought I would write too, that I might have the pleasure of seeing my letter in print. I have taken you a year and have fallen greatly in love with your delightful pages. I think "How Science Won the Game" is a lovely story; I felt much interested in it, for last summer the girls of my age who lived here got up a base-ball nine. In time, we played very nicely and enjoyed the fun. The readers of the Letter-box may think this a funny game for girls to play, but we liked it and found it very good exercise. I am fifteen years old; I have a little dog, his name is Teddie; he is a very good little dog, but I pity the cat that gets in his way. I like to read "From Bach to Wagner," as I enjoy reading of different composers. Your true reader, RUTH F. * * * * * We heartily thank the young friends whose names here follow, for pleasant letters received from them: Kate Ethel C., John Myers, Sadie B. Crane, G. M.
