VARIOUS WAYS OF WRAPPING
THE CHRISTMAS PACKAGES
Simple Plans for Making Gifts Look At
tractive With Plenty of Ribbon
and Tissue Paper.

ored tissue fastened into the shape Of a
large and appetizing orange as a recepta-
Gle for each gift. These piled high In a
dish. the centerpiece of the table. are
buy or borrow a number Of the orna-
mental potted oranges to help out in the
decorations. so much the better.
A very pretty way is to use ground pine
as the table decoration. scattering it
about with generous hand, tinsel gleam-
ing everywhere as suitable color scheme
for the oranges which are scattered
through the green and gold. Back Of the
table Santa Claus beams upon his guests.
In each instance suitable decorations
emphasize the particular sort of package.
The paper napkins are attractive with
ground pine and bits of fir: other pack
ages peep out from an abundance of
ground pine and holly, among which pinks
are scattered.
Another way of doing up gifts is to
make them look like bonbons. Tissue
paper slashed into fringe on two sides
and drawn into a rosette at each end,
and shape to the gift it enfolds, makes a
table beautiful we'll as unique. Back
of the table is Santa Claus, and a wreath
of ground pine; the boxes are filled with
the bonbons, showing at each place
through a lovely mass of ground pine,
holly and other suitable decorations.
The same hostes may use this idea.
Whether it is she or some other woman,
the plan is passed along for what 1t is
worth: The guests have no sooner as
sembled than some one spies a most
peculiar piece of Christmas decoration. A
kitchen table bare of ornamentation. as
all kitchen tables should be, stands in a
corner of the room. In the center of the
table is pan of Irish potatoes. rough
and brown and uncooked. A kitchen knife
and spoon lay humbly crossed before it,
and none is questioned why. But in due
time the hostess will tell her guests to go
to the able, and each in turn will take a
potato neatly balanced on the spoon, and
will be asked to carve it with the kitchen
knife Then for the first time she will
discover a fine thread tied around the
tuber and common sense will instruct her
to cut carefully and find the meaning Of
the string. She sewers the cord, the
halves fall apart, a potato all moist and
followed into mere shell opens to her
astonished gaze and in the heart of it the
daintiest little butonhole bouquet imagin-
able. which must forthwith be pinned to
her gown, or put into her hair. The moist
shell keeps the flowers in perfect condi-
ton. even if they are prepared twenty
four hours ahead of time. This is con-
sideration when SO many things are Of
necessity attended to Christmas day
The contrast between the flowers and their
very cozy but unusual receptacle is sure
to add to the merriment of the OCCASION
Womans World.

Various Recipes.
Candied Pineapple.

For candying pineapple. peel the fruit
then cut into strips. Measure, sprinkle
with half the quantity OF granulated
sugar and let stand over night or even
longer until all the sugar has been dis.
solved. Be sure the dish in which the
pineapple stands is OF either earth or
porcelain and not of tin. Drain off the
juice. cook for five minutes, add the fruit
and cook five minutes longer, then spread
on platters to dry.
This is a work of time. requiring ten OF
twelve days for its accomplishment.
The platters may be set in the sun, the
warming oven or even on top OF the
radiator. Turn the fruit several times
during its drying and roll in fine granu-
lated sugar. When quite dry set the
platters in a quick oven for five minutes
watching closely, then remove the candied
strips and place between layers of paper
with powdered sugar sprinkled over the
fruit.

Value of Ammonia.

A bottle Of household ammonia will be
a great help in every kitchen. A tea
spoonful or two of ammonia in the water
in which you rinse dish towels and dish
cloths will keep them clean and wholesome
If you rub a dingy carpet with a cloth
moistened with ammonia it will look
brighter. Dip the hair brushes up and
down in tepid water to which a table
spoonful of ammonia has been added to
cleanse them properly. A few drops of
ammonia in greasy pans will remove the
grease. Ammonia and boiling wate- 10
flush a sink drain pipe will cut any grease
that Is clogsing the pipe.

Homemade Polish.

To make the best silver cleaner and
polisher known, take bottle of ammonia
as sold in most grocery stores and to this
add two ounces of whiting and just few
drops Of oxalic acid
This same polish is so cheap when
homemade that the housewife will not
find it too expensive to use it in polish
ing all of the cutlery and also the brass
doorknob or any other bright metal fix
ingS about the house
Apropos to the silver cleaning question
one might add that when it is kept well
wrapped in channels the natural tarnisll
produced by exposure will be held off in
definitely. OF course, this applies more to
the cutlery, for the larger pieces, such as
tea sets and so forth. are most always
kept out for ornament as well as use.

Homemade Noodles.

Beat four eggs until foamy, then stir
into quart of flour with one-half tea
spoonful of salt This when kneaded hard
should form a soft dough. Divide into
three or four portions and use as much
more -four is needed. roll into large
circles, having the dough thin. Make in
the early morning and spread out near
the cook stove on table to dry. When
almost dry lay the sheets one on another,
roll all into a roll and with a sharp knife
slash into thin ribbons. Shake to prevent
their sticking together. then spread out
to dry in some place free from dust.
When thoroughly dry they may be
added to any meat broth five, ten. or fif-
teen minutes before serving. They should
be dropped in carefully and not too fast
from one hand while stirring with the
other In order to prevent their Jumping
into a doughty mass. Boil rapidly.
