Among the diverse fruitage prepared
for one Christmas treet this year are
a number of homemade articles that
will be not only ornamental to the
tree, but Of use to the recipients, A
pretty workcase for thimble, needles,
scissors and small pieces Of work was
fashioned after q banana. The sec
tions of the skin Of a large banana
were used for the pattern. These were
cut from yellow kid, heavy silk and
velveteen, and We're lined with silk
of the same shade. and bound with
narrow yellow ribbon. The pieces
were then overhanded together leav-
ing the shorter side open. A few
strokes of the brush and brown paint
gave a realistic effect
Another case similar to this, but cut
in pieces that were regularly shaped
and somewhat larger than a banana,
was made Of bronze kid and bound
with brown ribbon. 1t is particular
ly neat and convenient needlework
case. Another made of yellow silk
was stuffed, and will be used as a pin
cushion to hang at the side of the
dressing table mirror
Oranges and lemons made of heavy
silk and kid were cut from sections Of
the large fruits. In those made of
kid the pieces were lined with silk
and sewed together on the wrong side,
over and over, and two sides were
bound with ribbon Of the same color
and left open. These made pretty re-
ceptacles for needlework or odds and
ends, and looked much like the origin
ais. A few made of silk, and stuffed,
are intended for pretty cushions for
fancy pins. Pumpkins Of silk, with
real stems, which are not hard to
saake, resembled the old fashioned
fruit more than the pale, cultivated
pumpkins of the city markets do. The
sections Of these were outlined with
fine silk. These are also made of kid,
with one open side and one used for
needlecases.
Natural ears of corn, which are not
hard to make for people who know
how to knit, were made from direc-
tions found in q book on knitting,
Two or three husks were hung from
the open top Of the ear.
Cuff buttons, pins and studs were
concealed in gllded walnut shells,
which were tied together with mar
row ribbon. These added to the pretty
appearance Of the tree.
Grandmothers may be made happy
at Christmas time by a gift Of a series
Of little photographs Illustrating the
history of the summer outing of their
grandchildren. Feeding the chickens,
counting the pigs, riding the pony and
wading in the brook, with other pretty
pictures, will delight more people
than the grandmothers.

A relephone In a ohrI,tmn. rree,

One of the prettiest stories of what
the telephone has done is told Of a
family out West. The mother was
sick in a hospital many miles away.
She insisted at Christmas time that
no change should be made at home.
There must be Christmas presents and
the tree. The father and some men
worked at the Christmas tree for
some hours on the afternoon before
Christmas.
The mother far away was well
enough to walk to the telephone in the
hospital. The hour was arranged
Suddenly, when all the children were
around the tree, the father reached
into the tree, put the transmitter
carefully concealed there to the ear Of
the youngest child, and the child
heard its mothers Christmas message
Each in turn spoke to her, and they
voted their mammals voice was the
best Christmas present they had.

It eedS
Hair

Have you ever thought why
your hair is falling out? 1t is
because you are starving your
hair. If this starvation con-
tinues, your hair will continue
to fall.
There is one good hair food.
1t is Ayers Hair Vigor. 1t
goes right to the roots of the
hair and gives them just the
food they need. The hair
stops falling, becomes healthy,
and grows thick and long.
Ayers Hair Vigor does
another thing, also: it always
restores color to faded or gray
hair.

plain he believed in most.
He believed in pulling wishbones,
for he knew If he got the long end, and
then put it over the door, his wish
would be almost sure to come true
Along about Thanksgiving time there
were great many wishbOnes, and the
narrow shelf at the top of the door
casing was filed with grisly hopes
that were mostly to come true Christ
mas morning
For in the goodness of Santa Claus
he believed most Of all. There was
lust one Santa Claus, and there was no
faith and no feeling quite like that on
the afternoon before Christmas, when
he drove the tack into the back left
hand corner Of the mantelplece and
hung on 1t his longest and reddest
stocking, and then sat in different
parts of the room to look at 1t and
SO make sure that Santa Claus could
not fail to see it first thing.
He had wanted a knife. He had
wanted one since he could first remem-
ber, but now that he had been going
to school it seemed to him that there
was nothing in the world he wanted
like that. The other boys had them.
To be sure they were all older than
him, but he had caught up with them
In his lessons, and 1t seemed as knives
and lessons ought to go together. His
parents were afraid he would cut his
fingers, but he had used the other boys
knives and had not cut himself; at
least only a little once, and that was
an accident.
He made up his mind at last that in
Santa Claus lay his only hope. Santa
Claus, who knew everything, would
know that he was old enough to have
knife-perhaps one with two blades,
big one and a little one. He men
toned this TO his parents, but they
looked grave and said that Santa Claus
was very particular about little boys
fingers.
He had been getting all the long
ends of the wish bones, and his wish
was always for the knife. Above the
sitting room door there was perfect
thicket of long ends. The knife was
certain. He could hardly wait for the
time.
But one day, when Christmas was no
more than a few weeks off, his father
returned from the village with a pic
ture paper. 1t had a great deal in it
about Christmas, and inside there was
a set Of pictures that covered over two
whole pages. The little boy saw them
and spread the paper down on the
fioor to look at them. Then he forgot
everything else in the world, for they
were pictures of the life and home Of
Santa Claus! He had seen other such
pictures, but never before any like
these. There was the workshop, with
the old fellow at his bench and the fin
Ished gifts piled around him. There
were dolls and playthings without
number, and there right in front Of
him, sure enough, was q whole row
Of pocket kniyes
The little boy got down and looked
Mt the pictures very close. Which
knife was for him2 If he only knew!
BY and by he took the paper over to
where his mother was sewing. There

Christmas Day on Sunday.

Few people are aware that Christ
mas Day falls oftener on Sunday than
on some other days, says the Gran
than Journal. 1t falls on Sunday,
Tuesday and Thursday 6fty-eight
times and on Friday and Saturday
fifty-seven times each for every fifty
six times it falls on a Monday or a
Wednesday, This according to the
vicar of All Saints, Margaret street,
London, who is an expert in these cal
culations, will continue to be the same
until the present era of twenty-five and
a half seconds in the length Of the
year is compensated for by subsHtut-
ing a common year for a leap year
