SANTA CLAUS AT WEBER'S SATURDAY The annual first reception by Santa Claus at Weber's Book & Music Store Saturday was more of a success than ever. Apparently every kid in No. Orange-co was present to meet St. Nick. Each youngster was presented with a top by the genial gentleman. Hundreds of children left letters telling how good they have been, minding their parents, and what their Christmas wishes. Below are three samples: "Dear Santa Claus: Please bring me some of these things and I will thank you ever so much; a bicycle to ride to school; a thermos lunch kit, a knife, a firewagon, a pair of gloves, a spring top, an iron dump wagon. I am seven years old and live at the first house on Brookhurst-rd north of county road and three miles west of Anaheim, 1½ miles from school. Lovingly, Hugh F. Taylor, RFD 2, Box 39." "Dear Santa; I want a steam boiler and a sandiger and a blackboard and a Christmas tree please don't forget Marlon—Edward Cocksan." "Dear Santa; I want a steam roller and a car a blackboard and a sandiger please send sister a doll and buggy, I mind my mama Robert." MELBA PLANS OPERA TOUR PARIS, Dec. 4.—Mme.
