Rewards of gilt pins, crosses and

DECORATING FOR CHRISTMAS

it was work.
Then after the evergreen had been
gathered into the "vestry,' what jolly
times the young people would have

No one ever called that work either
In the city today, the regulation
Christmas green's have mostly been
bought at florists, with good money

THE CHRISTMAS TREE.

Few customs have such a hold as
that OF distributing Christmas gifts
on a real evergreen tree.
Somehow there seems to be no
Christmas spirit without it. Many
poor families feel it 50 keenly that
even a cheap artificial tree of tin foil
foliage does something to Great holi-
day atmosphere.
1t all goes to show that at times
when you drop life's more sordid am
billions, nature rather than dollars pro
duces real happiness. On Christmas
eve the bronze chandelier, designed
and fashioned by cunning workmen for
a hundred dollars, seems like so much
rubbish. The little bit of real green
cry from some desolate mountain
side, lighted with candles-the obso-
lete method of illumination used in the
inconvenient home of our grandmoth-
ers, seems 1ovelier and more pleasing
to normal unspoiled human nature.
The best things in life are not
bought with cash. If you keep the
heart of a child, you are happy be
cause you enjoy simple pleasures with
in your reach. If you don't keep the
heart of child, the most expensive
luxuries are merely like broken Christ

The changes now being made in
the designs Of paper money and of the
/ five cent piece are received with some
derision by humorous paragraphers
Nevertheless, every man who ever
had much to do with the printing bus
| mess will be pretty sure to welcome
the proposed changes as soon as they
appear
Any printer with an eye for craft
Imanship would say that the designs
of American coins and paper money
have looked about like the printing
that used to be put out 25 or so years
ago.
Any man with an e:'e lol form should
see how great an Improvement the
Lincoln cent was over the ancient
and commonplace drawing of the old
copper The slender and graceful let
tering. the suppression of needless de-
tail so as to throw attention on the
central features, and the graphic illus
tration OF the Lincoln head, create a
design of which Americans may well
be proud.
If you look over the types of print
shop you can detect the old faces by
their coarse shading. and the stiff
monotony of their box like right angles
The fat letters on the old coins and
on the present paper money are like
these old type faces. A good printer
would scarcely care to turn out an
auction bill with such ungraceful
types.
1t may be said that these symbols
of value facetiously known as the
long green pass so rapidly from hand
to hand, that it makes no difference
whether their designs are good are
mot provided they pass at the grocery
store
Nevertheless. don't overlook the
value of an example of good craft
manship. In all the mechanical arts
today, fine work, having beauty of de-
sign and delicacy of execution, com
mands high price. Let Uncle Sam
show that his print shop can do at
least as wen as country paper
