 Even if we are all grownups we love a, Jack Horner pie for the Christmas dinner table. {" One of the prettiest and easiest to make is like this; on an oval-shaped piece of heavy cardboard or thin wooden board tack or glue a frame of curving strips of basket stays. Wrap ribbons of5white crepe paper overlap ping each other round and round this frame work, entirely covering it., On the top fasten bunch of holly and scatter twigs and sprays of holly on the table. Slit the paper for the rib bons on the jokes and toys. Arrange the little packages in thee pie in sue a way that the frame will not interfere With pulling them straight out. ,H
 A visit to the five and ten cent store makes it easy to fill the pie at very small cost.
