the first breath of suspicion was directed
toward him he started and turned pale

deliberately constructed fell to the ground

ALL FOR THE CHRISTMAS TREE.
Paper Tor Decoration - Rings - Fairies =
Cosnucopias.

Chauncey Depew once said that no
matter how great a chestnut a story
was there was always some people in
the audience who had never heard it,
and SO while some of the following Sug
gestions for tree trimming may be
familiar to many, each one may yet
CLEAN some suggestions not known be-
fore.
Gold. silver and a number of light
shades of paper will be found very
necessary when starting to make dec
orations for tree at home Also pro-
vide yourself with strips of gold and
silver stars and some paper braids.
all of which come for the purpCse. and
are very reasonable in price.
Liquid gliding plays prominent part
in Christmas tree furnishing for almost
anything gilded and hung on looks
pretty.
Stick a round brass headed tack into
the tip of each branch; the effect is
very novel and striking.
Cranberries. or pink and white pop
corn. strung on cotton thread with a
needle and festooned on the tree look
well. Make some of the popcorn
strings all pink. some all white, then
SOIlc ALTERNATE pliih anu Niilt.
Rings of white paper, about half an
inch wide and five inches long. pasted
together to form long string and then
festooned, are similarly quite effective
Fairies made of pink blue. yellow or
white tarlatan, the edge finished with
paper-braid and a picture head in the
center. are pretty. Scraps of gold
paper can be put on Ca number of them
scattered over) to initiate spangles.
Cornucopas With a piece of bright
cambria or silk pasted around the top
are nice Fill them with candy and
close with drawing thread or q
ribbon.
In the same style socks, about the
size of an infants or little larger. can
be made of parti-cOlored net button
hole stitched around in silk or worsted,
filed with candy. and drawn up with a
drawing string at the top.
One of the prettiest features of a tree
Is lighting it up. but, unfortunately, it
Is also quite dangerous. every year a
number of fatal accidents being caused
thereby. If a piece of asbestos. how
ever. is fastened above the flame Of
each candle you can have the beauty
without much attendant danger.
A garden at the foot is a great addi-
ton to Christmas tree. Get some OF
the common green moss sold very chs ap
by any seller of Christmas greens and
cover the bottom of the tree and floor.
the men, women and children and
animals from a Noah's ark will do to
people it. by standing them carelessly
around. Take a piece of mirror fer a
pond. make a hole in the mess and put
this under. then put a few ducks and
swans on it. The garden. of course, is
enhanced by paling fence.
An oblong piece of colored tissue
paper makes a very excellent imitat ton
OF a butterfly. Gid common clothes
PIN. push the. center of the paper into
the slit so it will be quite full, cut the
corners OFF in the required shape,
leaving 1t wider at the top than at the
pottom; dash it with liquid gilt and
you will have very creditable imita-
ton.

A SUMMER BUMMER PLUMBER.
The plumber bummed and bummed
and bummed.
And bummed the livelong day,
And as he bummed he hummed and
drummed
And piped little lay.
Then when he'd bummed and drum
med and hummed
Till mellow dusk was ripe
He went to work and plumbed and
plumbed
And laid little pipe.
