The kissing Ball.

A green ball to suspend over the
Christmas dinner table is made by fas-
tening two keg hoops together, one with
in the other, turning each way like an
open globe. Twine princess pine around
each hoop and put in sprigs of holly
here aud there. This indeed is similar
to the old "kissing bunch," which is
seen in many old fashioned homes in
England. Two wooden hoops, one pass:
ing through the other, decked with ever
greens, in the center of which is hung
a "crown" Of rosy apples and q sprig
Of mist)etoe. Beneath it there are much
kissing and romping and the carol
singers stand beneath it and sing their
songs.
