A novel and pretty way Of dis
tributing Christmas gifts is to set your
dining table as you would for q meal.
Put On your choicest cloth, and at each
ones accustomed place set q soup dish,
says the American Agriculturist. The
centre Of the table may have some
pretty decorations arranged to suit the
fancy; Q pot Of tall ferns would be
lovely. Festoons Of evergreens and
holly may hang from the chandelier or
lamps, as the case may be. All the
smau gifts can be put into the dishes,
while others may be neatly arranged
in front. Such gifts as sleds, rocking
horses, ETC., should be placed where
the chair usually stands. Let some
one have special charge of the
arrangements. When all is ready, the
bell may be rung a. at dinner time,
and the household called together. In
this way the older folks may share the
surprises and pleasures with the
younger.
