Christmas issue of St Nicholas shines with new cover
We call especial attention to the Christmas number of St Nicholas for Young Folks. It is the most beautiful juvenile magazine issue, with a new cover, enlarged contents, and a remarkable program of attractions. Rudyard Kipling's "Toourai of the elephants" stands among his greatest efforts. With Wide Awake merging into St Nicholas, it becomes practically the sole youth magazine for American boys and girls.
