St. Nicholas,
_Conducted by_ MARY MAPES DODGE.
_AN “ALL-AROUND THE WORLD” YEAR._
=St. Nicholas= for the coming year will tell English boys
and girls of the thousands of millions of children of other
countries: of French girls in their little black alpaca aprons,
and German girls with their flaxen hair, and Italian boys with
their dark eyes, and clever American children (the cleverest
take in _St. Nicholas_), and little Chinese maidens, with their
almond-eyes and long pig-tails, and woolly-headed African
pickaninnies. Of the homes of all these children, of the
toys of the shy Japanese, of the pine woods of the blue-eyed
Norwegians, of the furs and toboganning of the Canadians,
of the gum trees and kangaroos of the Australians, of the
sharks and clear blue seas of the chocolate-skinned South-Sea
Islanders—in fact, of nearly everything that amuses girls
and interests boys, from the nursery rhymes of the Hottentot
mothers to the guns and spears that the Icelandic fathers use
to kill the white bears, _St. Nicholas_ means to tell its
readers in Great Britain and Ireland.
