The Free Trade in Christmas Trees.

The trade in Christmas trees and
greens grows larger year by year.
Thirty years ago Christmas tree
was seldom seen exceptin some home
of the richest class, and the adorn-
ment of churches for the festival sea-
son was confined to the Catholic and
Episcopal denominations. But the
immense increase of our German pop
ulatiou has popularized the Christ
mas tree throughout the length and
breadth of the land and with the
waning of old Puritan ideas, the dec
Grafton of churches of all denomina-
tions has become customary. The
extent to which materials for these
purposes are now required is shown
by the fact that single dealer in
New England last year disposed of
10000 Christmas trees, 5000 yards
Of wreathing and 500 barrels of ever
green spray. The smallest trees that
are sold bring, on the ground, ten
cents apiece, while the largest--25
to 80 feet in height--bring from 81
to Sc.

NOTABLE MAINE TREEs.--An ap.
pie tree at Boothbay is still in active
service, though ll2 years old. Bow
dom students hold class-day exercis-
es each year under an oak 10 years
old, planted by member of the first
class of the college. An elm in
Gardiner, set out by Mr.. Josiah
Sprague in 1915, measures III feet
in circumference at the ground, and
nearly IL feet 3 inches higher up.
But perhaps the most treasured tree
of all is in the yard of Mr.. Charles
Parsons, of Kennebunk. 1t original
ly stood close to stable, and, when
it was desired to enlarge the build
ing, instead of cutting the tree down
the stable was built around and un
der it, and now two large branches
of the tree are seen projecting thro
the roof, while the top spreads above
and over the stable, looking like a
gigantic plant growing in an immense
pot.

HER THANKSGIVING DAY.
BY HELEN FOREST GRAVES.


sso'Sas above the western horizon,
and a raw chilliness in the atmos-
phere.
"I'm afraid" said Mrs. Elston,
glancing out of the kitchen window
occasionally, as she went about her
daily work, ''we're going to have a
bad Thanksgiving day. Not but
what one ought to be just as glad
and thankful, whether it rains or
shines but it is provoking, when
one has invited company from a dis
tapce. And Uncle Lemuel won't
drive over from Bayport with Aunt
Rboda. if it SHOWS and Sue Starkey
can't venture out in a storm, with
her weak chest, and everything VIII
go wrong !"
Toward night, however, the sun
burst triumrhantly through the
clouds, lighting up the sombre aisles
az the leaaess woods with red CLEANS,
and touching with lines OF lurid gold
the edges OK the waves that broke
sullenly on Woodford Point.
aIt1l be fine, after ALL" said Mrs.
Elston.
And she burst into little roulades
of song, as she picked over the red
Baldwin apples, set away the yellow,
earthen bowl of stewed cranberrles,
counted the pies, and looked to see
if the turkey was all plucked and
dressed, ready for the morrow's
oven.
For Lizzie Elston kept neither
cook nor waitress, but depended up
ON herself only for all these house
hold details, and no one understood
better the necessity for careful
economy of time.
She had invited Uncle Lemuel and
Aunt Rhoda, from Bayport, Miss
Starkey her whilom schoolmate, now
the teacher Of the nearest district
school. and Mr.. and Mrs. Howard,
who lived in the cottage beyond the
sand dunes on the beach.
Il was the first Thanksgiving that
Lizzie had ever kept, and she was de-
termmed on having it a success.
"But all the preparations were
complete at last, even down to the
counting Of the ancient, fiddle-shap-
ed spoons, that were an heirloom
from Lizzie's grandmother, and the
old cups and plates, some blue-edged,
and some covered with impossible
landscapes, in the dullest shade of
pink-and the young wife, looking
down the road, saw Frank Elston
coming up from the wharf, dark
silhouette against the red glow of
the sky.
"I'll 90 and meet him." she said
to herself.
For Lizzie had not been married
long enough to forget all these grace
full memories of the honeymoon time.
Frank Elston, the captain of the
little boat that piled between Bay
port Landing and the nearest large
town, met her with smile and
kiss.
"What have you got in the basket,
Frank 2" cried Lizzie, standing on
tiptoe to peep under the lid of the
willow receptacle that he carried.
"Oranges, pussl" said he, with a
nod of triumph. "And some Con-
cord grapes that were left of our last
consignment, and Bettley let me
have 'em cheap"
ooh, Frank, how nice ]" exclaimed
the housewife. clapping her hands.
at will be just what / want to give
color and decoration to my table.
And 1 baked the chicken pies to-day
after your mothers recipe, and I'm
sure they are going to be perfectly
splendid !"
"Splendid, are they 7" said Elston,
smiling good humoredly at his ex-
cited little wife. "Well, I'm glad of
that. But, Lizzie, forgot to tell
you"
