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-
nation, 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 Hoped from the branches
make an effective decoration. And
strings OF yellow field corn CLEAN beau
tlfully 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-
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 a 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 i,r
bright-colored paper to the branches.
In this way the tree will not look
frayed and denuded when the gifts are
distributed, and 1t may be kept a long
time for the children to enjoy.
