The Heart Of Christmas

Christmas Is not day, 1t is a mood.
1t is independent Of days. We cele-
brate it on Friday, Saturday, Sunday
any day of the week. Christmas Is
Indifferent to days. 1t has nothing to
do with the almanac. 1t has nothing
to do with place. II is as Independent
of geography as 1t is Of chronology. 1t
has no relation to human government,
or even to race or blood. 1t is an
institution which can be set up on any
soil and under the folds of any flag.
Christmas is spiritual creation, and
belongs to TIE kingdom Of the heart.
1t Is constructed by angels of the heart
of child. If 1t then be a mood. 1t
can be extended over week, month,
d year, lifetime. 1t can be built upon
time, upon eternity. II you contine 1t
to day, you miss the meaning of 1t.
II you try to cram 1t into twenty-four
hours, you crush 1t and lose the es-
sence Of 1t.

TABLE DECORATIONS.

All entertaining has dramatic lit
tie climax which is always worked out
about the "festal board" so If you
have a number Of suggestions In mind
as to decorating a Christmasy table,
you will find them useful in more than
one sort of Christmas entertaining.
One very attractive way of decorat-
ing the table which will at the same
time involve scarcely any cost Is the
use of the cranberry tree"
Get small pine tree and at the end
of each little twig stick q cranberry.
Stick a pin through the berry and then
stick the point into the twig. Small
sprays of pine with few cranberries
attached could be used as favors.
Such table really is most attractive.

are behind the times? Not bit of
It. OF course he may use the reindeer
