which has been expended upon II. Ca.
pable fingers and Judiciuus thought

about It, Indeed, the nuttcr of prep.
aration and the merriment OF creating
your own decorations have far more
the real spirit Of Christmas than a
hurried visit to store where these
things can be purchased at short no
tice.
Indeed, nothing quite takes the place
OF the old time tree, with its boughs
laden with simple gifts and homemade
ornaments. Each trinc has some sig.
niflcance-has a meaning Of It's own. or
a funny incident connected with It. If
you live away from the city there are
many things right at hand which you
can turn TO good account for the pur.
pose.
Nuts may be gilded or silvered or
covered with gold or silver paper Pop
corn may be strung. and If you wish
