LESSON OF CHRISTMAS DAY
Example of Christ Should Inspire I'm
seIfishness and Make Us Try to
Remedy Faults.

Christmas should inspire world of
unseIfishness. The example before us
is almost too perfect, for it rather
frightens us to attempt such divine
heights of self-abnegation, but we can
try. 1t will at least take us from the
depths of sefishness, where most of us
now are. Each Christmas day should
teach us something of the lesson of
the Holy Child's life.
If we could learn from Christmas,
today and in the succeeding years the
serious lessons of self-betterment and
ennoblement it has to offer, how In
finitely better 1t would be than just
to look on it as holiday for gifts and
feasts, for extravaganza and foolish
ness.
So take an hour or two off on
Christmas day and give 1t up to retro
spective and self-inspectiOn. You Will
each find faults, if you judge yourself
impartially. for no one Is perfect. Then
make serious determination to try
to overcome those faults. for only try
ing to improve is there any growth In
character. If you are satisfied with
yourself you stay just as you are with
all your faults and virtues. But II
you try hard to remedy the faults your
character is constantly growing broad
mas day has for each Of you.

TO TRIM A CHRISTMAS TREE
Pretty Trimmings and Decorations
Can Be Made in Almost Any Homo
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-
na ton, and safety first should be the
slogan in all Christmas festivities.
You can purchase whole lot of
pretty decorations for your tree at the
shops, and these come very cheaply,
too. But almost any home can furnish
the decorations for 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 cram
berries looped from the branches
make an effective decoration. And
strings of yellow field corn CLEAN beau
tifully in the Christmas light. Cres-
cents, stars and hearts cut from heavy
cardboard and covered with silver and
gilt, or even colored paper, and cornu-
coplas 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.
1t Is best to place all the larger
packages under the tree. tying only
the smaller gifts which are tied up In
bright-colOred paper to the branches.
In this way the tree will not look
frayed and denuded when the gifts are
distributed, and it may be kept a long
time for the children to enjoy.

A CHRISTMAS WALK

In silvery sottness the anthem closed
Like a slowly silenced bell.
The sacred calm of peace divine
Like a benediCtion fell;
And out on the morning light that spread
Asgimmer of amber gray,
l walked with Margery home from church
On an old. old Christmas Day.
A bland mild day-for the rugged month
Had chosen "A kindly mood.
Like a wonderful mellow aftermath
From sthe Autumn's plenitnde.
With scarcely tang of wholesome cold
Did the Winters breeZes blow.
As Margery walked from church with me
On Christmas long ago.
The earnest words that had touched our
hearts
The warnings, kindly and wise
Had left a shadow of tenderness
In Margery's violet eyes;
The merry hoydenish maid I'd known
For twelvemonth's flying space.
Had taken on that old Christmas Day,
new and womanly grace.
AS through the tremuous opal clouds
That shifted and swayed apart.
a sun ray lighted the rosy face,
The wish was born in my heart
That down the trail of the unspent years.
Whatever their trend might be.
The soft-eyed maiden beside me then.
Might walk to the end with me.
Absently watching the velvet flakes
BY the white gale set awning,
| breathe the spirit of other years
While the bells of Yuetide ring:
And near me- smiling with happy eyes
At our children's romping play,
Is the girl who walked from church with
me
On that old, sweet Christmas Day.
