Why Santa Claus is True.

There is nothing truer, or more
wholesome, or more far-reaching. or
more educative, than creations of a
sane and healthy imagination. The
legend of Santa Claus is true for the
reason that it connects the childish
mind with the mysteries of religion.
and is long. step in the direction of
real belief. The farmer is not only a
firm believer in Santa Claus, who is a
part OF a great Christian festival. but
he believes also in fairies, and the
basis of that belief is very simple. How
could a healthy imagination invent
anything that has no trace of truth in
it? How can the ideals of youth and
of old age lend themselves so cum
ningly to a scheme that is false? Let
any right minded person think the
matter over and it will be readily per
ceiveG that the farmer has something
more than possibility on his side.-Joel
Chandler Harris in Uncle Remus's
Magazine for December

Christmas Tree Decorating.

To decorate a tree taStCflllly is really

from six to eight feet high, according
to the height Of the ceiling of the room
are too thick cut them OUT and weight
them q few hours before trimming il
they do not spread readily.
A silver tree is made after the follow
ing idea Take a quantity of English
walnuts, insert a tack In the stem end
and tie black linen threads on each
tack, then dip each in the white of egg
and roll in silver leaf. and hang nut
OH the end of every twig: add silver
and white corhucopiaS, silver fishes,
frogs turtles. baskets. fairies. balls. and
over all throw silver tinSil like cob
web; use white candles and. last Of all,
take Il handful of powdered mica and
sprinkle over the branches; bank the
base with mass of fluffy white tarle-
! tan when it is lighted the effect of the
| tree is most beautiful and brilliant The
/ gifts may be wrapped in silver paper
| and tied with white satin ribbons with
| a spray of mistletoe drawn through the
! bow and piled on the tarletan under the

The Christmas Dinner Table.

A simple arrangement for the table
is gained by using thick holly WreatE
tied on two sides with broad red rlb-
bons and placing in the center crys-
tai candelabra filed with tall candles.
Another plan issto have centerpiece
of wcdge- shaped boxes holding slices OF
ricn fruit cake or Christmas honbons
with the points of the boxes holding
rosebuds with candles. These boxes
NAV serve as souvenirs. A vase OF
holly of mistletoe is placed in the cer-
ter of the table. Little candles in star
holders can be arranged about the
outer edge Of the boxes, which are tied
with red and green ribbons. The place
cards suitable fer the season are iaid
on each plate, while the napkins are
placed crisp bread rolls.
For a family dinner, a glass punch
bowl filed with polished fruit, may be
used for the center of the table, max
ing. mass of rich ond glowing color.
A wreath of grapes and holly may be
placed about it and silver candlesticks
can nold the tall red candles. which
NAV have red shades, if one desires.
Tie place cards represent polnsettlas'
On the napkins are placed Swedish
soup crisps, rolled into cornucopia
shape. Use the finest danlask cloth
and the best china and glass.
A star of brown and green pine cones
makes another effective centerpece,
each point ending in a fan made OF
green pine needles. At each 1ntersec-
ton may be arranged small red cleo
tric-light bulb. the light being sup
piled by a battery hidden beneath the
poinsettia that is arranged in the CEN
ter. At each cover is placed sprlg
of holly, Bonbons and menu carry out
the Christmas colors as far as practl-
cable -Woman's Home Companion.

Baskets Make Pretty Gifts.

Nimble fingers will soon be engaged
in creating dainty holiday gifts, for no
other remembranceS of the festive sea-
son show quite so much love and
thought as those fashioned by the
donors own hands. These may not
be as costly as those bought in shops,
but will be infinitely more appreciated.
The little baskets that have such a
run at this season of the year in the
stores lend themselves most happily to
the making of Christmas gifts. com
ing, as they do, in a variety of shapes
and sizes, as we'll as in various color
ings. The little, low oblong shapes
make the sweetest cushion for hairpins
or hatpins. Filled with curled hair
the covering is, of course, net, on
which is a spray of pink roses IN rib
bon embroidery. A ruching of pink
ribbons encircleS the basket, and rib
bon bows tied on the rings on each
end are the finish. This is very
dainty trif1e, yet quite inexpensive, and
calls for very little skill in the max
ing.
Another basket, somewhat resem-
bling clothes barrel hamper, has
lid made of cardboard. covered with
round of white linen, daintily en-
broidered, and the edge finished with
ribbon rucning. Inside the basket is
set good sized tumbler; around the
middle of the basket broad ribbon
is passed, tying in a bow at the front,
much on the order of the scrap basket
trimming. This makes the most con-
venient and sanitary of hair receivers,
and if che gets the ribbon tied into
bow when buying, the rest of the work
is certainly easy, and the result quite
brave showing for so little trouble
and expense.
Three-cornered baskets dovetailed
together made an odd-looklng whole,
each one covered on the outside with
ouaint-looking chintz. The inside parts
are lined with old rose satin and old
rose ribbon ties the handles together
Lids of cardboard and covered with
the chintz, and dainty little casket
for everyday jewelry is the result.
Pincushions fashioned after the man
ner of a baby's basket are pretty, ana
| for these the small round and oblonS
| baskets are used, dainty. frills of point
| d'esprit or linen draping them and the
cushion, on which is first laid an en-
hroidereG cover is set into the basket
| and secured by a few strong stitches,
which allows of its being easily re-
moved at any time for laundering pur-
| poses.
Indeed, there is no end to the pretty
things that may be made from the 10
cent baskets. the different shapes and
coloring calling forth ones ingenuity
skill and originality as they grow un-
der the willing fingers into very lovely
| holiday gifts.

beautiful snow tree makes a most
fascinating spectacle. If the presents
are hung on it they must be done up
in white paper and tied with white
ribbon. The candles are white and all
the decorations white. The base is
covered with cotton batting sprinkled
with diamond dust, and every branch
is laden down with the same artificial
snow. From the twigs hang either
glass icicles. which may be bought in
some places for about six cents apiece
or the cotton may be pulled down to
represent icicles. The silver tinsel
may be used to drape the tree. and
silver stars balls, etc, can complete
the decorations. Instead Of silver
and white tree we can have gold and
white tree, with gold tinsel, stars

"BLOWiNG IN THE YULE."
One of the Quaint Customs of an Old
Town in Denmark.

Blowing in the yule from the grim
old tower that had stood eight hum
dred years against the blasts of the
North sea was one of the customs of
the old town that aside, however it
fares with the Nisse; that | know.
Al sur-up, while yet the people were at
breakfast, the town band climbed the
many steep ladders to the top of the
tower, and up thare, in fair weather or
IoUl-:nd sometimes it blew great guns
from the Wintry Sea-they played four
old hymns, one to each corner of the
compass, so that no one was forgotten.
They always began with Luthers stur-
dy challenge, "A Mighty Fortress Is
Our Cod" While down below we listened
devoutly.
There was something both Wierd and
beautiful about those far-aWay strains
in the early morning light of the north
ern winter. something that was not of
earth and that suggested to my child's
imagination the angels songs on far
Judean hills. Even now, after all these
years, the memory Of it does that. 1t
