with the branches, to give the effect of
Il tree which has stood out in a good,
Old-faShiOned snoWStOrm.
Mica is then sprinkled over this cot
ton to enhance the effect. Place the
large star at the tOpmOst branch of the
tree. Next find the best branches for
setting the candle holders on. To place
candles effectively is quite an art in
itself, and only the most prominent tips
should be used to point" the tree, as Il
We're. After the candle holders are in
place, suspend from each an 'icicle'' of
glass, such as can be bought by the
dozen.
Now begin the looping of the tree
with the largest chains Of silver balls,
being careful to loop evenly, catching
up each section on the branches in such
Il way as to emphasize the tips and get
a symmetrical effect. Next fasten the
small silver ornaments where they look
best, filling out the tree and adding to
the balanced effect.
Last take the strands of the silver
thread (such as Genes in packages)
and, beginning at the star, let this
rain" pour down from the star and
| fling a misty cloak of silver all over

A WHITE TREE

Why Not Have GIistening Evergreen
This Year?
A suggestion for an original trim
ming for the all-important tree comes
from a traveller in Russia. Instead of
tree with colored ornaments, this
scheme remains all in white. To carry
it out requires white trimmings, as fol-
lows:
Asbestos snow.
White glass icicles.
Powdered mica snow.
Silver tinsel and silver thread.
p Large white silver paper star about
eight to ten inches in diameter.
Silver glass ornaments, particularly
balls and small novelties.
Silver paper candy containers in
form of animals, dolls, etc.
White candles in plain, incoDspicu-
GUS holders.
The usual fir tree is the basis, but at
once the trunk is carefully wrapped
with the asbestos snow to make it ap-
pear white. THIS is also done part way

the t1ee. To do this it must be divided
and not used thickly in one strand.
The largest star at the top should be
almost buried in the thread, the effect
being to get it to resemble a star which
''twinkles" or which is seen through
misty light.
When finished the tree should look
like a silvery, snowy fir tree standing
in it's own environment, but lit UP and
made resplendent by some inner Christ
mas glory. 1t is indeed a novelty and
a soothing, peaceful tree of beauty, by
which some of the overdressed and
colorful trees suffer by comparison.
It's whole success lies in the careful
symmetry of the trimming and the use
of small ornaments of similar size.

Christmas Time.

All beautiful the march of days,
AS seasons come and go;
The hand that shaped the rose hath
wrought
The crystal of the snow;
Hath sent the hoary frost of heavens,
The flowing waters sealed,
And laid a silent lovelinesS
On hill and wood and field.
Ger white expanses sparkling pure
The radiant mourns unfold;
The solemn splendors of the night
Burn brighter through the cold.
Life mounts in every throbbing vein,
Love deepens round the hearth,
And dearer sounds the angel-hymn
Good will to men on earth! !"

to touch upon some sensitive point, for
that would most effectively spoil any

Ring out, ring out, o Christmas bells,
Across the starlit, frosty night
Proclaim the message of good will,
The story of the Prince of Light.

Awakes in each responsive heart
Remembrance of the love sublime
Then keep the feast with hearty cheer,
The feast of merry Christmastide,
While faith and hope and love, these

Within the heart of each abide.
