Holiday Hints.

TO revive wilted holly, place it in q
small bathtub or any large vessel
in which the stems can rest in boiling
water. Put plenty of salt in the water
and let the branches remain until the
water is cold. 1t is best to clip the
branches on the ends before immersing
them. Mistletoe can be revived in the
same manner, but il should first be
placed in warm water. then i'm cold.

little folks for whom a Christmas tree

from crepe paper, have been pasted on

cardboard being left below Santa's boots

thanks, but be as natural as if speaking
