Holiday Decorations

m1 INDISPENSABLE for holiday
III decorations are the orna-
~ lB ments Of glass and tinsel
which are used not only to
~ adorn trees. but to lend gay
ETY. to the aspect Of dinner
tables and house interiors at Yuletide,
and immense quantities Of them are
sold each season.
They all come from one place-tho
village OF Lausha, in the Thuringian
Mountains, in Germany. That region
is the veritable Toyland-the real
home of Santa Claus. Vast quantities
Of Christmas playthings, mostly of
wood or Papier-mache, are made there
by the peasants. who do the work in
their homes; and a rather curious
feature Of the industry is the way in
which 1t is split up and specialized,
one village turning out nothing but
hobby-horses. another producing only
Noah's Arks. and 30 on.
Thus 1t comes about that the popu.
lation of Lausha devotes its attention
mainly to the production of ornaments
for Christmas trees-though it also
manufactures enormous numbers Of
glass eyes. This little town turns out
not only great numbers Of such eyes
for human beings. but also glass eyes
for taxidermists' use, for dolls. and
for toy animals. It is the worlds prin-
cipal center for this industry.
The chief object sought in the max.
ing of tree ornaments. OF course, is
glitter. Most Of them are of glass,
blown into fantastic and often beauti.
full shapes-various pigments and
metals being employed to lend add.
tional brilliancy.
The people Of Lausha are all glass.
| blowers. They do the work in their
homes. but the rough glass is provided
by big dealers who contract for the
purchase Of the wares thus produced.
Among other things, the workers turn
out incalculable numbers Of the fanilr
lar glass marbles SO dear to every
childish heart-these being made IN
moulds from long sticks of glass in
which several colors are combined.
Unfortunately. giass-making is .
very unhealthful occupation, and the
people Of Lausha literally give their
lives for Santa Claus. few Of them sur
viving long enough to reach old age.

dinner In the big dining room. The
Taft family are noted for the strong
ties of affection that exist among ev.
cry branch OF the family. The four
brothers with their families have made
1t point Tor many years to spend the
summer vacations together at Murray
Bay on the St Lawrence River, 50 that
the Taft iamily will probably be rep
resented by large number at the
Christmas festivities. Then there Is

who for about elk years has been Mr..
Taft's valet and general utility man.

cular room or tho room on tho Sec
ond floor, which is /: sort of family

Mrs. Taft is one woman in tho
country who need give no thought
whatever to the holiday larder. From
farmers. fruit growers, poultrymen,
dairymen and bakers all over the
country comes the best their stock af.

who sends these things, but tho Sec
rotary dispatches ofhcial thanks to tho
senders. Only one among the partict

is known. For forty years Henry

The President and of the Ex-president
have more than met their obligations.
No where Is Christmas a simpler OK
preston of goodwill and merriment
and the genuine sentiment Of the sea-

White House. Every Christmas, when
Roosevelt was President. the doors
opened wide at holiday time to wei.
come home from college the sons and
daughters and their friends invited to
spend the Yuletide at tho gay social
hub OF the nations capitol. and the
same doors have swung wide to admit
the Taft brood and their many friends.

days with particular pleasure because

The Youths Companion

When you make a present Of a
periodical to friend or a family
you are really selecting compan-
ion to influence them for good or
i'll during a whole year. Il the ac-
quaintance of ) our sons or daugh-
tiers were to talk. to them aloud US
some periodicals ia TX to them
silently, how quickly you would
forbid the companionship! In the
one case as in the other, the best
course is to supplant the injurious
with something equally attractive
and at the same time worth while. y
A food can be wholesome and ut
terly distasteful. Reading can be
made Sc, too. Bat the Youth
Companion not only nourishes the
mind, but delights it, just like that
ideal human associate whom yon
j ~
would choose. The Youths Com
panion fills that place now in more
than half a million homes. Can
you not think Of another family in
which it is not now known where it
would be joyfully welcomed?
