2&UNS should be invited-he may
appear In an automobile,
but in order to be quite orthodox he
should be driving his eight reindeer
through the snow; and therefore the
hostess should use strip of snowy
cotton wool plentifully sprinkled with
frost for the table center. Purchase
a somewhat large Santa Claus; he
will be most effective dressed in a
brown cloak with scarlet hood and
cap. A fancy basket in the form Of
a wheelbarrow or chariot will answer
the purpose for his sleigh, and should
be loaded with presents of all kinds.
The reindeer, which can be filed with
sweets, may be harnessed to the sleigh
with scarlet ribbons on which have
been sewn number of tiny bells.
AT Intervals down the table place
boxes of bonbons in the form Of Yule
logs, with garlands of berried holly
and mistletoe arranged from log to
log, the menus to be in banner form,
each one being held by miniature
Father Christmas.
A Cinderella scheme for the supper
table is pretty. For the center pur-
chase from your florist the wire frame
of a coach. Cover it thin1y with moss,
binding ii on with hemp; then cover
It with scarlet geraAiuns, attaching
the blossoms to the coach with fine
silver wire; harness two milk-white
toy horses to it with ribbons to match
the geraniums. A smart little coach
man and footman must be placed on
their respective places, and doll to
represent Cinderella dressed for the
ball should be sitting inside.
Appropriate presents to- be placed
for the children would consist Of a
slipper filled with sweeties for each
little boy, and doll dressed as a
fairy in white gauze spotted with sill
yer stars, holding tiny wand, would
delight the heart of each little girl.
