LET THIS eE YOUR CHRIST.
"a MAS.

) A day Off. few remem-
brances from relatives and
friends and u good dinner-is
that all that Christmas means to
you? Surely you are going to
, make it IN occasion for more
than usual rejoicing this year. n
, real old fashioned Christmas
Surely you are going to be more
liberal in spirit than ever before
and scatter merriment on all
} sides. Have you been little
selfish. have You devoted 80
) much time to enjoying yourself
that you have forgotten other
folks?
Those you have forgotten are
good folks. aren't they. the best
folks in the world? And you are
just going to show them how APP
preciative you are. You don't
like this way of turning dear
old Christmas into an occasion
for trading and exchanging gifts.
You are going to see all the
friends you can on that day and
shake hands with us many: pat
them on the back and tell them
how glad you are to be with
them. And to those you cannot
see you are going to write
CHEEKY. warm hearted letters and
tell them you want to hear from
them Oftener' Isn't that how
you feel about the greatest Of
all birthdays?

with the freshness of the silver paper.
and the tulle is even lighter and pref

vidual bells are of silver to match.
| A big plum pudding Horner pie, made
of just the right shade of brown Grape
paper and with many little depressions
showing simulated bits Of fruit made
of black glazed paper, is another de-
sign. Each simulated plum Is the start

tents of the big dish. The dish is sur
rounded with circle Of holly tied with
q full bow of scarlet tulle.

tissue, inside of which are the gifts.
The muff represents white fur and IL
made of short fringes Of paper. On
each side is fastened spray of mistle-
toe attached to- the end Of each red
ribbon hanging from the inside Of the
muff.
Where the Jack Homer pie Is to be
used as a centerpiece on table small
natural Christmas tree makes a pretty
decora ton. The gifts can be arranged
in a pan or dish. giving space in the
center for firm base for the tree.
An ornamental fowerpot or jardi-
mere can be fashioned in this way.

rows of twisted paper rope and scatter
ing artificial moss around the base Of

miniature tree. which serves as favor
for each person. IL

can be painted red or green or can be
covered with tinsel paper.
