to which is attached small bell about
two inches high. Tie on the top with
a small bow of red baby ribbon.
Instead of silver napkin rings use
rings made of pasteboard covered with
red crepe paper to harmonic with the
rest of the decorations. A crepe pa
per napkin designed in poinsettias
would be very appropriate.
If one prefers to use a tablecloth
of paper instead of damask, the same
idea can be carried out by using pa
per in the same color scheme. Ruff
fle the paper around the lower edge
and have two founces, the first OF
plain white and the second Of the dec
GRATED paper.
! Candle shades are made of card
! board frames. Cut the petals from the
| crepe paper the same as for the other
| flowers, end paste around frame, i'm
ishing it With two large green leaves
and a small bow of red ribbon.
Many of the dishes served can be
garnished with red beets, radishes or
red peppers.
A poinsettia salad could be placed
at each place. Slice off the top or
large red apple and scrape out as
much Of the inside as possible, fill the
apple with equal portions of apple cut
in small cubes, chopped celery and
nuts. Moisten this mixture with cream
salad dressing.
Cut pimentoes in petal shaped pieces
and arrange them in the form of
poinsettia on the plate. Set the ap-
ple filled with the mixture on center or
plate aud use small petals of the
nimentoes to trim the top of the APP
pie.
, If ice cream is served for dessert,
pistachio and cherry make good
. combination.

' absurd at any other time are very Mt
D ting on this occasion.

ter made on wire frame and covered

b form snow mans face.
