| Title: | Preview of Christmas |
| Description: | Caption: "Preview of Christmas--Two of 20 handicapped children from St. Charles Orthopedic Hospital, 277 Hicks St., went for a ride with Santa Claus on the carousel at the opening of Toyland at Abraham & Straus yesterday morning. Some 3,000 youngsters flocked to the store's eighth floor, but the 20 kids from the hospital were the guests of honor. Andrea Cardella, 2 1/2, at left, seems a bit confused by Santa's beard, but Joan Beplor, 6, right, seems to know what it all means." |
