DloxYeEN BEST MOUTH WASH.
Preparation VIII Keep Teeth and
Gums in Perfect Condition.

The merits of dioxygen as a mouth
wash are not as we'll realized as they
should be. II is easy to get and not
expensive. A stoppered glass bottle
of it should be on every washstand.
After eating. If one hasn't time to
brush the teeth, the mouth should be
rinsed out with diluted dioxygen. 1t
is a strong antiseptic, keeps the teeth
from decaying. and protects the top
OF the mouth and gums from soreness.
or from creating and emanating a dis.
agreeable odor.
The toothbrush should always be
dipped in a little OF It and brushed
over the teeth and gums at morning
and night, even after tooth paste is
used.
The latter merely cleans the teeth.
It does not disinfect the mouth. Peo-
pie do not pay enough attention to the
inside of their mouths, even though
they may be scrupulous about their
teeth.

Making the Hair Wave.

A simple but most effective way of
making the hair wave In the big rip
pies which continue TO be fashionable
is TO dampen 1t and tie II down with
bands Of baby ribbon. or course alb
solutely straight hair will not yield
to this treatment, but hair with the
slightest tendency to curl will re-
spond beautifully.
After the hair is done up dampen Il
with hot water. pinch It a little and
then draw 1t close down to the head
with bands OF baby ribbon put on in
separate pieces about an inch apart
and pinned very tight to the head.
Leave on for an hour. remove care
fully. then comb the hair gently until
1t huffs out in charming waves OF
beautiful regularity.

real looking plums bullying from its
sides Is another attractive centerpiece.
which has a present hidden In the
center of each plum. ~
A sleigh driven by reindeer makes
an elaborate ornament. The whole
centerpiece measures something like
four feet from sleigh to antlers. SO
that more than an average sized table
is required to display II to advantage.
The pair of RENDERS wear glitter
ing harness and they are arranged on
wheels, so that they move in a slow
and stately manner IL there is room
for this feat. In the sleigh are rows
of fat snowballs with a sprig Of holly
stuck in the top of each and tiny
Santa Claus standing guard over each
ball. A larger Santa Claus holds the
reins and guides the sleigh. Ribbon
streamers are attached to the snow
balls, 80 that the ends can be passed
to the guests as they sit at table, thus
making an effective picture before tha
Christmas load Is distributed. Each
SNOWFALL forms the top of paper box
buried in the bottom or the sleigh. To
fill in the spaces between these gleam-
ing white balls branches of holly and
mistletoe or other Christmas green's
mas be used.
A centerpiece which has no sur
prise feature is a miniature gable roof
with a bright red brick chimney, into
which a tiny Santa Claus is stepping.
The roof is covered with snow and
icicles drip from its caves, but good
old Santa Claus knows that there are
warmth and good cheer below, to

piece may be laid on the table with.

be surrounded by branches of holly
and Christmas ferns. If much other
decoration is used the centerpiece
loses its effectiveness.

ONE COLOR FROM NECK TO TOE
Fashion for the Indoor as Well az the
Street Gown.

AS each week passes, it is seen that
women are going in heavily for the
one-color line from the collar to the
floor. The waist and skirt, If in two
pieces. must match. The gown must
preferably be from one piece from the
collar bone down.
Even above the collar bone the
same color of lace or net is often used
instead of white. Indoor frocks as
we'll as street costumes are clinging
to this one-color effect. The hats do
not match the gown, and shoes and
gloves need not match 1t, but if you
would be in fashion, see to it that in
every hour of the day you are in one
color from chin to toe.
1t is the one-piece gown that has
made this fashion compulsory. The
separate coat and skirt is not as popu-
lar as it has been, for it has given
way to the three-piece suit. The skirt
carries its own blouse, and the coat
is added thereto.

DRESSING THE CHRISTMAS TREE
An Occasion of Great Joy for Both
Young and Old.

The happlest and most exciting time
at Christmas for young and old is
when the tree beams forth In all its
glory and splendor. There is great
pleasure for the elders in dressing 1t
in its gayest raiment. II the full
beauty is to be brought out 1t should
be kept until night. II Is said that
100000 Christmas trees will be brought
into the American market. Hemlock,
cedar. pine and spruce are all good
for the purpose. The base can be
covered with cotton batting sprinkled
with diamond dust, and every branch
may be laden down with the same arti
fetal snow. Incandescent electric
lights are becoming more popular each
year MS they are safer. However
many prefer the twinkling of the
candles. Colored balls and tinsel are
draped from every branch, and gayly
dressed dolls and toys of all sorts
sway In the air. Then there must be
cornucopias of red and gold, filed with
candy. The largest presents and mys-
terious packages can be heaped around
the foot OF the tree. Every package
should be wrapped in white paper and
tied with brilliant red ribbon Many
dollars are spent each year for elab
crate decorations. but many attractive
and effective ornaments may be made
at home, such as strings OF popcorn
cranberries, gilded and silver nuts. pa
per flowers, etc, which all add to thu
splendor of the Christmas tree.

W7-. NEh BOD1 loves sur
prise gift, Grown persons as
MF1T much as children, so some
IN NJ new and interesting sur
prise centerpieces have
been prepared to supple
ment the Christmas tree and its bur-
den Of gifts. These surprise pieces are
intended to occupy the center of the
table when dinner is served, either on
Christmas day or the evening before,
and they supply a good deal Of merrl.
ment as well as decoration. Their
decorative qualities are rare indeed,
for they trim a table deliberately and
more appropriately than an equal
quantity Of flowers would.
Santa Claus is the prevailing motive
for these unique decorations, and one
Of the most attractive over which his
familiar form in miniature presides Is
a basket laden with glistening white
snowballs from behind each OF which
peers a smaller Santa Claus. In the
top Of every SNOWFALL is stuck a sprig
OF genuine holly, while nesting under
each white globe is a quaint gift, some
times joke, or something Christmasy
and appropriate for the recipient. En-
circling the high, rounded handle Of
this basket is more holly, with real
istic looking icicles fringing the inner
side Of the top. Around the basket
proper are rows of Christmas crack
erS" to add to the fun and the amuse-
ment OF the occasion. These are COW
cred with red crepe paper to match
the basket, and a broad satin ribbon
Of the same shade is fastened on one
side of the handle. This trimming has
a Christmas sentiment done in gold
letters.
The idea Of the Christmas surprise
decoration seems to be to hide the
gift as cleverly as possible. The Jack
Horner way is reproduced by using
huge SNOWFALL instead of a plum cake
or pumpkin and then concealing a gift
for each person inside the SNOWFALL.
