OF all the beautiful pictures
On Childhood's memory's wall
IN one of an evergreen Christmas
tree
That standeth broad and tall;
In whose very topmost branches
A blue-eyed dolly swings,
While lower down to friendly bough
A Teddy bearlet clings;
And there quite close to Teddy
Hangs soldier bold, of tin;
A drum, with sticks suspended,
To make warlike din;
A f1fe with wondrous music
Quite hidd'n away inside;
A sled 80 strong and splendid
That at least four boys may ride;
A picture book of fairies,
An engine that will run;
A toy piano with real keys,
-, A tool chest and a gun;
And from the gay, green branches,
Festooned as ribbons bright,
Swings strings OF soft white popcorn
That glistens in the light, .sA
And everywhere hangs candy
For children, great and small.
DO. of all the Childhood's memories,
This seemeth the best of all.

one-Toned Christmas Trees.

Even Christmas trees are to un.
dergo changes in fashion. The latest
notion is that they shall be trimmed
in color schemes. No more variegat-
ed trees, over-burdened with baubles
of every hue and color, but artistic
one-tone decorations are "the thing"
this season.
The red tree has the trunk COW
cred with twigs of holly and the tip
crowned by a starry poinsettia or
two. The globes and chains are all in
red, and little red hearts and tiny
red-cheeked apples are hung from
the upper branches. The candles. Of
course, are only red, and so is the
big bow of ribbon that ties the
trunk,
The other tree is the Jack Frost
tree" 1t is covered with cotton bat
ting and sprinkled with artificial
snow. Silver globes. silver chains
and silver tinsel are u:ed, because
they look like the glitter of snow.
But the crowning effect that gives
the real wintry, out-of-door touch is
found in the hundreds of glass ici-
cles of all sizes that weigh down
the boughs. White candles in silver
holders are used exclusively. The
top is crowned with a silver star, and
at the base lies en- Esquaimau village
