CHRISTMAS IN THE ARMY.
How the Soldier Boys Celebrated
During the Sixties.

How the Soldier Boys Celebrated
During the Sixties.
The Army of the Potomac, under
General George B Mcclellan, was
camped about Washington from August,
1861, to March, 1862, and most of it in
Virginia as far down the Potomac as
Alexandria, as far up as Chain bridge
and as far out toward General Beaure-
gard and his tenacious Americans as
Munson's hill Early in December word
came to the soldiers that railroad and
express companies would carry free
packages intended for Christmas pres
ents and dinners for the soldiers.
That year there was a Christmas din
ner for every mess. From the rich
homes of the large cities had come the
best in the market. From tens of thou
sands of farms had come the daintiest
dishes that mothers, wives, sisters,
daughters and sweethearts could pre-
pare.
On Christmas, 1868, the army was
shivering along the rivers RIPARIAN
mock and Rapidan, and as far out as Cul-
pepper Court House. 1t was too cold, and
the men were too poorly housed to en-
joy the day. 1t was not holiday to
many-a day of misery, instead. That
was the coolest Christmas the south
had seen for so years, and it has not
seen one like it since.
Christmas dinners were the order of
the day i'll 1864. The army was strung
along behind Notifications from Rich
mond to below Yellow House, on the
Weldon railroad, a distance of nearly
40 miles. The sanitary and Christian
commissions had arranged to supply the
army with Christmas dinner. Few
men were overlooked. Except that in
1861, it was the happiest Christmas for
the Union army since the trouble began
There were many signs that the next
Christmas would be enjoyed at home,
and so it was by all who escaped the
hot times from March 30 to the evening
of April g. after Grant and Lee met at
Appomattox. milwaukee, Sentinel.

Christmas Table Decoration.

Avery pretty decoration for the table
at the Christmas dinner is tiny Christ
mas tree. Candied fruits and gilded
and silvered walnuts make it bright
and seasonable, while little frosting
with the powder that comes for the pur-
pose makes it a beautiful object under
the glitter of the lights. The tree will
be trimmed and prepared for you by
any florist and should be planted in IA
fancy low vase or dish. The picturesque
dwarf evergreens that come from Japan
are most effective when used in this
way, and yet they are such costly treas.
ures that few who own them are will
ing to make table decorations of them.

made by cutting long strips, about four
inches wide, of tissue paper, then cut
ting it closely, partly. but not entirely,
across the widths, making fringes. If
the strips be dampened and held over
hot stove, the fringed edges will curl
and look quite ornamental

A Christmas Eve IdyI,

Inc hour was late; the lights burned low
The fire but half dispelled the gloom;
A youth and maid, with cheeks aglow,
Sat silent in the ROOM
Twas Christmas eve, and half in lest
They would not say good night because
They'd vowed to watch and do their best
To see old Santa Claus.
Slow licked the clock: they said no word:
The solemn midnight hour drew near,
And still no telltale sound was heard
OF Santa coming near.
Twelve struck; and then, all suddenly,
A guest came in surprised the pair:
1t was not Santa Claus. not he
But Cupid that stood there!
