USE or gvgaoaEsMs.
he use of evergreens at Christmas

The use of evergreens at Christmas time is older than the Christmas tree. the Christians seeming to have copied It from their pagan ancestors. In very old book we find this reference to the use of evergreens at Christmas time: Against the feast of Christ mas every mans house. as also their parish churches, were decked with holme. ivy. bayes. and whatsoever the season of the year afforded to be green. The conduits and standards of the streets were likewise garnished; among which I read that in the year 1414. by tempest of thunder and lightning. toward the morning of Can dlemas day, at the Leadenhall.

TO TRIM A CHRISTMAS TREE
Pretty Trimmings and Decorations Can Be Made in Almost Any Home
 at Slight Expense.

As to trimming the Christmas tree, first of all. don't trim your tree with cotton batting and lighted candles, as there Is always danger in this combi- a:ion, and safety first" should be the slogan in all Christmas festivities.
 You can purchase whole lot of pretty decorations for your tree at tf.e shops, and these come very cheapiy, too. But almost any home can furnish the decorations for a really lovely tree without very much expense. and there is no reason why every family where there are children should not have their Christmas tree.
 Strings of popcorn and red cran- berries looped from the branches make an effective decoration. And strings of yellow field corn gleam beau tifuIiy in the Christmas light Gres- cents, stars and hearts cut from heavy cardboard and covered with silver and gilt. or even colored paper. and cornu- copias of bright colors filled with candy and popcorn are very pretty. Form cotton batting into balls the size of an orange and cover with orange colored crepe paper. twist tightly and tie to the tree with bit of narrow rib bon. These are pretty on the tree and look like oranges.
 It is best to place all the larger packages under the tree. tying only the smaller gifts which are tied up in bright -coiOred paper to the branches. In this way the tree will not look srayed and denuded when the gifts are distributed. and 1t may be kept tong time for the children to enjoy.

Charlie Williams, famous medicine
