Charming Christmas
Eve Custom

A delightful custom in many
homes is the reading aloud Of
Christmas literature on Christ
mas eve.
After the stockings are hung
and the children are ready to be
tucked snug in their beds the
whole family gathers in front of
the fire. while each one, large or
small. contributes something to-
ward the invocation of the
Christmas spirit.
Among the choice selections
that have been found especially
appropriate for this hour, when
hearts are tender and receptive.

and George Withers, Reginald He

Town of Bethlehem or any of
the Christmas gems written by

Idea For Christmas Decoration.
In the dining room that has to have
a screen to conceal the kitchen there
may be very simple and effective ad-
dition made to the Christmas decora-
tons by pinning holly to it, covering
the original surface completely. Lace
curtains mag also be effectually used
In this way to make lovely bits OF
color in the room.

There are many beautiful
stories associated with the
origin of the first Christmas
tree. One legend says that on
the holy night all nature, even
the ANIMALS and the trees,
was rejoicing and that the
cedars, instead of pointing
their branches upward as
pointed, slender trees, spread
their branches wide to pro-
tect the mother and her new
born child.
