in doing up" our parcels as In making
or buying them in the first place.
Let us be practical, however, first
of all. Let us wrap the parcels, espe-
cially the ones which have to go by
mail or express, very securely indeed,
registering them if they are valuable.
Tissue paper first, and then good,
strong wrapping paper, tied with stout
cord or heavy elastic, is the best
method. Reserve ribbons and fancy
cards for the inside of the package,
and remember that putting seal over
the fastening of parcel prevents its
being sent third class. For perishable
objects use cardboard boxes.
AS for the packages which are to be
delivered in person, however, or the
inside of those to be sent by mail or
express, you may exhaust your in
genuity to make them pretty. With
box, of course, it is always easy to
use holly tissue paper and green and
red ribbon and a sprig Of holly or
mistletoe; but wrapped parcel al
ways looks more clumsy.

paper; then roll it in white bristol
board; and then cover it with green
or red crepe paper. Tie around it a
bow of ribbon in the contrasting
shade, stick through this sprig of
holly and a card of good wishes,
fasten at the ends with Christmas
seals, and there you are!
These seals, by the way, although
they may be purchased very cheaply,
still have further touch of individual
ity when made at home. Do them
on glazed paper and coat them, before
cutting out, with mucilage that can be
allowed to dry and then wet again
when necessary. Three suggestions
for designs are the bell and star, the
Christmas tree with presents and
Santa Claus with his pack. Many

watercolor and cut out, will suggest
themselves to the reader.
