The Christmas Tree.


No home, especially where there are
children. IS complete during the holi'
DAYS without a Christmas tree. The
latter are grand. elaborate and costly
in the tamilies of the rich, but even
houscholders OF CircumsCribed means
can put mp trees that will sparkle and
please, for a very triiiing outlay OF
money Tiusel is cheap, but Il gliiterS,
and children rarely stop 20 estimate
values.
A pleasant effect Is produced by
brushing the prickly foliage OF the
tree here and there with mucilage and
then sprinkiing common salt upon II.
Among the cheap, homemade orna-
ments 10 hang upon the tree may be
enumerated: Empty egg shells adorn-
Ell with drcaleumanlap pictures, wainuts

cones vanished. then bronzed OF
spnnklcd with salt: cranberries or pop
corn strung on Irvine, gold paper
chains, made by FASTING one tiny ring
within the other; colored tissue paper,
etc. The tissue paper Is cut into long
strips about four inches wide, and
closely cut across, but not entirely
across. It's then slightly danpened
and held over hot stove, when Il curlS
up and looks well when thrown here
