Christmas tree. There Is instead the
pinata, otherwise a human figure made
of tough paper, suspended from the

One child is blindfolded, turned
around a few times and invited to
break the pinata with a cane or rod.
Three strokes are permitted, and 1t

BILE. They may be bent, crushed,
packed into small compass, and when
they are wanted again it is only neces-
sary to straighten the branches out
into the original shape.
When the inventor was a girl, fifty
five or sixty years ago, in Munich, she
went to one of those schools where
German girls are taught to do, as her
daughter says, Everything NIT the
hands," 1t was having to make
wreaths out of beads that suggested
to her the notion of making bead
Christmas trees. She set to work and
fashioned innumerable tiny loops of
green beads, each at the end of a long,
slender wire. She bound the loops to-
gether in threes, making t%refoils, and
the trefoils into branches and the
branches into a tapering trunk, the
trunk being formed of nothing at all
but the individual wires massed to-
gether. Then she trimmed the tree
with candles and those tiny waxen fig
ures which the Germans are adopts at
making and fixed it in a pot of sand
and melted wax. Her parents were
quite proud of 1t. Her father, who
was director of the Hofgarten in Mu-
mich, showed it to his royal master,
and King Ludwig Immediately ordered
one for the Christmas festivities at
court.
After coming to this country she sent
one to President Roosevelt and was
grieved and surprised to find that be

There is a legend in Germany that
when Eve plucked the fatal apple i'm
mediately the leaves of the tree shriv-
eled into needle points and it's bright
green turned dark. 1t changed its ma
ture and became the evergreen, in all
seasons preaching the story of mans
fall. Only on Christmas does it bloom
brightly with lights and become beau
tiful with low gifts. The curse is turn
ed into a blessing at the coming of
the Christ Child, and we have our

A Christmas Race.

Here is a new sort of three legged
race which does not require all the
trouble of tying your racer together
and is very much better than the old
way. In fact, girls may go in this
kind as well as boys, with no fear of
hurting themselves, and two nimble
girls stand a very good chance of beat
ing two boys too.
All you have to do is to grasp the
raised left foot Of a companion. who
hops along in front of you. 1t is really
a race of hops, and the best hopper
will surely win a Christmas gift as a
prize, for 1t is no trick at all for the
one behind to run as fast as the front
one can hop.
