call OF some one, whose heart is good
toward us, we gather round the bright
table. Sweet with fir, beautiful with
holly. cleaning with white napery and
twfnkling glass and all lit with rosy
candles, 1t sets the heart aglow, be-
speaking a loving kindness, which is
the salvation of our workaday world.
The dining room is the heart of the
house and its great day Is Christmas
day. 1t is really very little trouble to
decorate it for a Christmas dinner,
and dressing the table cannot be
spoken of as trouble-it is a pleas
ure.
The dining room must be entirely
clean-the windows newly washed and
the walls and furniture wiped off and
polished up bit, before the placing
of decorations begins. These should
be simple and in green so as not to
distract the attention from the table.
If hanging lamp or a chandelier
is suspended over the table. nothing
IS much more effective than the fes-
toons of green from lamp to the cor
ners of the room. Ropes of ever
green are made by cutting off small
branches and winding the stems with
dark cord or heavy black thread. The
lamp, or chandelier supports, may be
dressed with sprays of evergreen and
holly and the evergreen festoons ar
ranged along the walls, underneath
the plate rail, the festoons to be
caught up with sprays of holly.
Branches of green over the windows
and door castings and wreaths pinned
at each window, on the curtains, are
the time-honored Christmas decora-
tions that cannot be improved upon
and are dear because familiar.

hostess has a chance to exercise her

be found at an expense ranging from
twenty-five cents up to two or more

Young girls like ornamental pic.

boxes and hat pin holders. These
are shown in tasteful designs for fifty
cents each.
All girls love perfumery and

pretty verses, to hang in their rooms.

between the size of our pocketbook
and that of our heart-the latter is
SO much bigger. The world is full

Is consolation in the fact that the
gift which costs time and thought,
