A TIME FOR EVERYTHING.

There's time to laugh and time to crv
And time to kiss, they say.
If there wasn't a time to kiss and sigh
They could bury me any day.
There IS also a time to hold your tongue,
To listen to other men,
To counsel keep in silence Deep
But few Of us know just when.
There's time to work and time to rest
And a time to flirt, trow.
If there wasn't time to rest and firt
They could bury me deep just now.
There is also time to pay your bills
When the man won't call again,
But threatens to sue when it's overdue,
And few of US do till then.
There's time to smile and time to fret
And a time to eat, / know.
If there wasn't time to eat. you bet.
They could bury me down below
There is also proper time to fight.
Though the enemy weighs a ton.
It's no disgrace In such case
If there isn't chance to run.

and How to Use Them.
Nhere is nothing more delightful in
housekeeping than decorating the ta-
bls& and already the dainty housewife
il bordering the matter Of appropriate
f5ohal display for the time honored fes-
tivOl. The foundation Of all artistic
results lies in the pure white damask,
on which every bit Of color will stand
forth as only a perfect background can
make it.
Red is unquestionably the true color
for Christmas decorations, if we would
make them distinctive, and this bright
color gives always suggestion of
warmth and cheeriness.
A most charming centerpiece is i'll
the form Of a star. Directly under the
chandelier, bedecked with laurel anu
holly, place the table draped with white
linen. LII the middle put a tall and
graceful crystal or silver candelabrum,
trimmed with greenery and holly beI.-
ries, each Of it's lights shaded with
gauze or fluffy paper shades Of bright
scarlet. At the base a large fiat star
radiates from the candelabrum in five
points. A tin form serves as a founda-
ton. This is packed with damp moss
and then filed with scarlet geraniums
offset with fringe Of feathery green.
The little flowerets Of the geranium
must be divided from the parent stem
and packed quite compactly.
Paced about this centerpiece are four
sm.ll, fiat dishes containing alternately
little mounds of ruby jellies and can
diea chestnuts piled cannon ball fash

service should be china ornamented
with narrow red bands, supplemented
BY the usual cut glass and silver. The
stas' may be filed also with holly ber-
r;er, with deep border Of laurel

iCleA is to form the star Of heavily
froNted evergreens, bordered with holly
