Paris. oct. 19.-General Horace Por-
ter, the United States ambassador. gave
a banquet last evening at the American
embassy to the United States and
Spanish peace commissioners. Senior
Villaurrutia, Spanish under secretary
for foreign affairs. and a member OF
the Spanish peace commission. was
prevented by indisposition from being
present. The meeting of the two COM
missions at the same table is a nota-
bic event here. and borrows special
interest from the semi prediction of the
Paris correspondent of the London
Times that the Spanish commissioners
would not meet their opponents at
dinner under the roof of the American
embassy.

Christmas Trees.

Spruce trees make the best Christmas
trees, but great many New England
balsam pine trees are also used. These
latter produce an agreeable resinous odor
when brought into a warm room and
generally hold their needles for longer
time than do the spruce trees. The
principal thing to bear in mind when
selecting a Christmas tree is symmetry.
The tree should be we'll branched, with
low, spreading branches. When these
are too numerous to allow OF effective
decoration, they can he thinned out as
required. Often, however, it is neces-
sary to insert branches. This is done by
boring holes into the stem in a Sigh ly
4anting direction with small gimlet or
auger, and then inserting the branch
properly whitfield so as to fit securely in
to the hole. When artistically done the
artificial branches can scarcely be de-
tected from the natural ones.
The proper mounting OF Christmas
trees is also important. There are differ
ent ways OF doing this. Some trees are
put into ordinary grocery boxes by max
ing hole in the top OF the box large
enough to allow the butt If the tree to
20 through, then turning the box upon
it's side and mailing a second board across
the bottom of the box, upon which the
| butt end Of the tree rests, aud mailing
the butt 10 this piece OF board. Thus
very substantial foundation is secured.
If the tree proves too heavy, some large
stones can be placed in the box or on top
of it,
For small trees, little fancy garden ar
rangements are pretty. These can be
made by taking simple board from one
or two or three feet square and putting
around it miniature picket fence and
fastening the tree to the center OF the
garden" by mailing. Scatter white sand
or gravel about the roots, or, better, ar
range snowdrifts of cotton waddlng loose
" about them. The effect is quite real
istic and charming to childish eyes. If
planted early in the season. the tree can
he kept all winter. After having been
used for the Christmas entertainment 1t
can be put out on the balcony, IN the
ward or out of doors, where it will look
well.
