General Suggestions
L Nothing should go in them
which will not keep fresh from the
time OF packing until Christmas.
2. Dried fruits, and other food
products should De packed in small
tin OF wooden boxes, one-Quartsr 10
olshaf pound size
g. Hard candy, including chocolate,
would probably be safe in tin fofl or
heavy cardboard, but no soft choco-
late nor anything that could possibly
be crushed should be used, as the
other contents Of the package might
be spoiled thereby.
L Several datnttes packed In
o5Iong TN boxes, each holding q
quarter OF pound. will provide bet
Ter variety for packet than larger
quantity of single CONNECTION
8. No liquids nor articles packed
IN glass should De placed in the pack
age
How 70 Wrap Parcels.
G. For wrapping the. gifts use
khaki co7ored handkerchief, 81 inches
square, and torn the base OF the
packet By placing on the center OF
the handkerchie. pad Of writing
paper about by 10 inches.
Z. Select q variety OF articles

according 70 Individual wishesJ 10
an amount not exceeding $3.50. and
arrange tnea on the pad OF paper SO
that the entire package shall be the
width OF the pad and approximately
5 o. inches high
s. Wrap and tie with 1-tnch red
ribbon and place Christmas card
under the bow Of, ribbon. A card
bearing the greetings OF the chapter
would be Desirable.
8. Wrap the parcel again In heavy.
light brown manila paper and tie
securely with red, green, or gilt
