THE CHRISTMAS DINNER.
How to Decorate the Table TzstefuIly
and Economically.

How to Decorate the Table TzstefuiIy
and Economically.
There is nothing so appropriate for
the Christmas table decoration as the
red and green of the holly, says the
National Illustrated Magazine. During
the other 1854 days of the year all the
variations which can be arranged with
the help of roses, orchids or any cul.
tiyated or even wild flowers are per.
missible But on this one day the hol-
ly berries alone seem to be filed with
she festiyity OF the Christmas season.
II by any misfortune 1t is impossible
10 get holly substitute glossy laurel
les yes combined with some brilliant
rel flower. Vivid carnations will sup
ply decided note of color, or If an
even more elaborate decoration is de-
sired basket Of poinsettias would be
very beautiful. But when holly can
be obtained it is to be preferred to any
other medium Of decoration. On this
one day a brilliant color scheme should
be devised. Lights, colors, silver and
china should be bright and cleaning.
"A
effective treatment of the table was ar
ranged for a big family dinner one
Christmas by the young daughter of
the household. Nothing In the house
is held too good to be used on that
day, and treasures of all sorts are
gathered from their hiding places TO
add to the general attractiveness. The
table, which was laid for ten-an old
fashioned oval one-was the only one
of which even the oldest children had
any recollection and was covered with
a heavy damask cloth.
On the centerpiece. embroidered with
most natural holly branches, was
with sprays of holly, caught here and
there with scarlet ribbon Around
this were four low candlesticks, with
red candles and small shades made Of
a solid mass Of tiny red rosebuds COM
bined with green foliage. At either
end of the table was dull green cam
dlestick with a fiat, round base AMI
q slender stick holding aloft above the
heads of the people seated at the table
| very large shade, the reproduction Of
those used in the centerpiece.
A spray of holly on the napkin It
each place added to the brightness Ct
the table. Just above the centerpiece
was huge bunch of the holly depend
ing from the chandelier, tied wit
large bows of the scarlet ribbon, a
most hiding with its sprays the globes
around the gas Jets. which were but
dinly lighted. as the red candles gave
out soft, warm glow
In addition TO the little dishes scat
tered about filed with the usual sailed
almonds, olives and relishes were ado
ed two or three others containing can
died cherries, red bonbons and gilded
nuts. Little silver dishes heaped high
with gilded nuts Of all sorts viii be
found especially decorative, and the
favor of the nut viii not be at all
spoiled by the differing shells,

Desert Pian:s.

Plants of the desert. as a rule, pos sess few leaves, the cactus. for in stance, being mostly spines. There is q very good reason for the lack of leaves in desert plants. The object is to check the transferation of moisture by offering as small a surface as pos sii4Ie to the dry air. For the same req son the roots of desert plants usually run deep into the soil so that they can suck up all the available moisture. In some instances the leaves assume q vertical position and thus avoid the direct rays of the burning desert sun On the other hand. the leaves of trees in very wet countries are provided with points-such as the maple-fron1 which the rain drops off. Were the leaves f1atter the rain would collect and make them rot.

 WATER COMMISSION

Seneca Falls, x. Y, April 19.- state water supply commission is holding an adjourned meeting here today, of the first meeting in this place It considered the petition Of the local water commission for a certificate of public necessity. Two attorneys opposed the granting of certificate because there is an eS- isting water supply which would be supplantine and made valueless if a municipal system was con structed, and that no provision was made for the damage that would thus be caused The board, how ever, would not dismiss tho case, but decided to hear arguments and all the facts in the case. The at torneys for the village argued the matter today for the village, and presented lot of testimony which t.3y had gathered in the time they n2d gained by the adjournment that they had asked.
