A Tiny Christmas Tree

a TINY fir tree of symmetrical shape
IN and only two and half feet high
was chosen for my little girls
dolls Christmas tree, says a writer In
the Woman's Home Companion. This
was easily planted in a 1owerpot and
established upon large table in the
living room. Tiny candles were fasten-
ed upon the branches, ten cent bunch
of tinsel was sufficient for draping and
further outlay for the small colored
glass ornaments added to the gorgeous
ness.
The main idea is to keep everything
on a miniature scale while duplicating
for the beloved doll children the gifts
that usually fall to the small mother
So it was that tiny dolls were dressed;
tiny fancy boxes were filed with tiny
candies, others contained wee handker-
chiefs embroidered with smallest of
initials; here hung hand mirror, there
a nursing bottle. tiny fans, a lovely set
of CUBS for the tea table, small bird
In a gilt cage, a new pet kitty, and so
on. Ten cent stores yielded most of
the treasures.
On the morning OF Christmas my
eight-year-old was shown her old dol
lies. each radiantly dressed and was
told that their tree was ready below
stairs. The Joy and delight at the
sight were charming 10 behold, and the
blissful apportionment of gifts began.
AS each arriving playmate rolled in her
new dolly ITO show what I've got"
envy and pride reflected upon the faces
of the visitor and visited. only to bs
dispelled by there is something on the
tree for your dolly"

Christmas Legend

The legend Of St. Boniface
and the first Christmas tree has
been beautifully told. The
scene lives before us-the win
try night, the swelling hillock
crowned with the great oak
tree, the thunder oak" sacred
to the pagan god Thor; the
tongues of rudy fame, the
ranks of white clad warriors,
women and children facing the
altar; the hoary high priest
and kneeling child, the victim
) doomed to die by the blow of
the hammer, a sacrifice to
Thor, the hammerer.
Then the coming of Boni-
face, the blow from the ham
mer turned aside by the cross,
} the rescue of the boy, the fall
of the oak beneath the mighty
blows of the apostle, the story
of Jesus simply told and how
sin, not human life, is the sac
rifoe he asks.
"And here" said the apos-
tie as his eyes fell on a young
fir tree, with its top pointing
toward the stars, amid the
divided oak-"here is the liv-
ing tree, with no stain of blood
upon it, that shall be the sign
OF your new worship Parish

Attraction

10 aQVertlSe the Pacific northwest as
Americas summer playground for the
purpose Of attracting thousands Of tour
lists to this section. an energetic cam
paign is being conducted by the Pacific
Northwest Tourist association, which
was organized recently by representa-
ives of large commercial bodies.
Herbert Cuthbert of Victoria, B. c..
secretary of the association, was in
Spokane last Saturday and explained
the campaign to $50 OF the city's lead
ing business men. Tourists spend
100000 annually in North America"
said Cuthbert.
No other section of the continent
has so much to show as do the states of
Washington and Oregon and the prov
ince of British Columbia. We have al
ready an association, with eight mem
bers representing each of the areas
named, working out the plan. Support
has been assured US everywhere.
About $100,oOo,o0O annually in
tourist expenditures can be diverted to
this territory. We don't ask for single
cent Of expenditure that will not be re-
turned many times over. In California,
at the mere announcement that other
sections were going after some Of the
visitors whose entertainment constitutes
that states chief industry, 100000
was raised for publicity, and a national
advertising campaign has been already
started"
The association has enlisted wide
spread support for proposal to have
appropriations of $4,000 made by the
Washington and Oregon legislatures
and $25,0 900 by British Columbia to
conduct two-year publicity campaign
exploiting the scenery, climate and
other attractive features Of this section.
Our association plans to place the
northwest's advantages before the pub
lie by means to lectures, magazine
articles, illustrated booklets and PAM
phlets, motion pictures and, in fact, by
the use of all modern publicity methods.

Every dollar that comes into the
country through the tourist stays here.
It becomes an asset, it is divided be-
tween the grocer, the butcher, the
shoemaker, the clothier, the hotel man,
garage and livery men, sightseeing cars,
the baker, the fruit grower, the poultry
man, and all workers who are depend
ent upon these or any other CONNER
cial enterprise. 1t is the only industry
that brings money into the country
without taking any out. This is a
movement in which the entire popula-
ton of the whole Pacific Northwest may
participate, and in which all can help.
