several clever forms of ornaments

tree should be crowned with a single
ornament. and a double fve-pointed
star made after the fashion Of that
shown in Fig. 1 is most appropriate
The double star Is prepared in two
pieces cut from cardboard box Gigs

between opposite points 5 inches. Cut
them with knife or scissors.
Each star must be slashed so one

from A to G; and slash the other as
shown in Fig. 8. from C up to B. You
will see that by now crossing the pair
