Christmas Decorations.

In America our chief midwiner deco
rations are little fir and cedar saplngs
from 6 to 10 feet high, children's trees
essentially, to be made respondent with
colored candles and shining trinkets, with
solder gifts in sOberer packages be-
tween; branches, wreaths, stars, or even
tiny sprigs of holly, sprays of mistletoe,
and sometimes a whole mistletoe plant.
But the tiniest sprig of mistletoe, says
Harper's Bazaar, is as effective as the
larger bunch, if properly placed, in con-
tributing to the mirth of n Christmas
evening, provided a proper number of
maids and men be present.
Central chandeliers should have fes-
ICONS of evergreens hung from them; or,
where side lights are used the festoons
may be caught up on these. Light ropes
of cedar or fir twigs are simetimes car
ried from n central chandelier (when this
happens to be directly above the dining
table,. and draped at intervals along the
sides of the festive board" dividing the
places much after the manner of the
Maypole ribbon or flower strands

Not by the crowded, warm hearthstonC;
Not by the quip. the clasp, the feast
Scarce by the lone star In the East
Not yet by gift nor decd Of grace,
Nor mlstletoe, nor wreathed place,
Nor merry speedings TO and fro,
Nor any circumstance or show

These are but symbols, hallowcd. dear
The CHEEKY browning of the year.
But by the light in chlldrcn's eyes;
BY their blithC shouts and happy signs;
BY secret plottings, fond and deep;
When little heads lie still. In sleep;
BY glowing sympathy that starts.
Melting the winter in our hearts;
b. quickened JOY and holy pride.
When to the Child all doors swing wide
Know we the Christmas day.
