THE CHRISTMAS TREE.

Those in charge of the preparations
for the municipal Christmas tree to
be held on the public square Christ
mas eve, have been doing their part
thoroughly and things are rapidly get
ting into shape. Mr.. William Orion
has donated a magnificent tree from
his yard and the city will provide the
labor in placing it. The tree is about
forty feet high. The Lancaster Light
& Power company has offered to wire
the tree and furnish the current free
of charge. A pleasant part of the
program will be the chorus of nearly
400 school children who are training
now in various carols. AS a crown
ing event T. ]. Haley will don cos
tune and act as Kris Kringle. Every
child will be presented with a stock
ing of good candy and there may be
enough to go around to some of the
grOwnups. Anyhow every one is well
come to come.
The finance committee has had good
success so far in raising funds and
hope to obtain a contribution from
every one, more as matter of having
every one feel that they have a part
in the event. See Mr.. Pugh at the
bank with your contribution-eithe
large or small-it will be thankfully
received.

Who enjoys crocheting, says writer
for 'Ei,tthh the Detroit Free Press.4aq $50
The edging of the doilies was made
In simple way, as 1t consisted mere.
y of a series of chain stitch loops;
each succeeding row fastened in the
center Of the loops on the preceding
one. The last series of loops was
gone over with double crochet, with n
picot in the center of each loop, thus
forming an adge of crocheted scallops.
Crocheted roses were then arrang.
cd at regular intervals, around the
edge. These were buttonholed in
place. the material cut out from un.
derneath and a few embroidered
stems and leaves in satin stitch add.
cd to each rose.
The larger doilies had five rows OF
loops and the tumbler dolly three
rows, the border being the only dec.
Grafton of the tumbler doilies.
The edge of the doilles was finish.
ed in a long and short buttonholed
stitch, which offered foundation for
the loops of the crocheted lace. The
whole effect was unique and had been
quite easily attained.
