THE DANGER FREE TREE.
How Electricity Provides the Sparkling
Cheer Without Risk of Fire.

Nearly every Goth day Of December
we read in the morning papers the pa
thetic stories of Christmas play that
ends in tragedy. 1t is the annual toll
of the Christmas tree candle. Every
city has dozens OF such cases each year.
The candle flame sets fire TO the tinsel
trimming, a curtain blaZes up. and the
day of festivity ends in sorrow or some
member of the family is badly burned.
The little electric tree lights are dec.
orative and pleasing TO children, and
they are safe and convenient Tiny
lamps. fruits. roses, dogs. birds. snow
men and grotesque little figures are
all strung together on fine, silk covered
wire and may be readily connected to
any lamp socket behind the tree.
The little lamps sparkle and glow
They are the most effective Christmas
tree ornaments ever devised, and there
is far more fun for the kiddies, because
the lamps can burn as long as they are
wanted. They do not have to be watch
ed, and the little lamps can be used
year after year. They are suitable for
any festivity and add gayety to every
gathering OF children.
