On the Christmas Tree.

The old fashioned stockings and
hearts and crosses and animals cut out
of tarlatan outlined with worsted and
then filled with fiat candies and tied
on the tree are always popular orna-
ments. Sugar figures bought in the
confectionery store will serve to break
the monotony. The baker at Christmas
time usually has his windows filled
with horses. dogs, cats and men and
women made of delectable cake dough
and artistically ornamented with color
ed sugar curlycues. These are tooth
some and attractive to the small boy
and girl.
Candles in small candle holders are
always scattered we'll over the tree. IT
is a wise precaution to keep a pan of
water in which is a wet sponge in case
