For the Christmas Tree

~ HE Browns were going TO have a
q Christmas tree. Mr.. Brown had
~ met a dealer. late on Christmas
Eve and as a consequence he carried
home young tree, the first the fam
lily had ever had. Mrs. Brown was
in a quandry. Here II was late Christ
mas Eve-almost Christmas morning
and she had nothing in the house
In the way OF decorations 10 hang
upon this unexpected tree But Mrs.
Brown was resourceful woman, and
often times she could make something
out OF nothing. Here is what she did
in this case. It may help YOU out OF
a similar difficulty at some time.
Cranberries make lovely chains and
when draped from bough to bough
add a festive touch OF color to the
tree. Pop corn strings are used the
same way and vary the color scheme
Fluffs of cotton make a good imlta-
tion OF a snow fall and q little salt
around the base of the tree helps to
carry out the effect. Toys from Buddy
Browns Noah's Ark headed the list
of decorations. Pretzels and sugar
cookies made the tree look good
enough to eat Chains OF rings made
of different colored papers give a COL
orful effect. These are made by slip
ping a strip OF paper through a ring
already completed and pasting over
the ends to form another ring. A
weaving mate, folded across the mid
die and then opened out and pasted
cylindrlcally will with the addition oi
| q handle make pretty lantern. Pea
nut strings. or peanuts hung separate
ly add to the effect. and few artificial
flowers and paper balls complete the
homemade Christmas tree.

suggested was Santa Claus.
One child was chosen to be Santa
Claus and a second child was chosen
to be blindtolded. Santa Claus left
the room and returned with bag
filled with small toys and articles. The
child who was bllndfolded was given

II was mid afternoon before he

use OF the food he had brought Then
when Bob had revived and they were
all warm, and fed. he gave the chill

merry together.
Bob, seeing the Joy he had brought
was very happy. After ALL" he

Two days later, when their food wal
