What, No Tree?
By Marearef NosUeH

It's less than month until
Christmas and not too early to be
making your house plans. There
will be few decorations for sale In
the shops this year, and the smart
hostess is the one who assemblies
the family and solicits their help in
turning out tree and house trim
mings. When grandma was q girl
making the Christmas tree orna-
ments was half the fun Of the holi-
days. Bright tarletan bags were
made to hold candies and small
cookies. Popcorn and cranberries
were strung and innumerable bright
and gay WITNESSES were put together
to add interest to the tree. This
year, this same type Of decoration
will be in order, so here is the op-
portunity to do something unusual
to make this years Christmas
memorable. o..
This will not be lavish yuletide,
so make your plans to be as effective
as possible in q small way. If the
front hall is the place where you
will say Merry Christmas" put all
your effort into decorative greeting
there. If your tree is in the living
room, play up that spot as the
Christmas room of the house. With
this and your dinner table decora-
tions you will express a festive
spirit quite adequately.
1t may be that you will even have
to fabricate your Christmas tree
this year. If so, here Is your chance
to make a perky. artificial tree, as
different from the natural variety as
possible.

In answer to G. B., Fort Belvoir,
about the use of pine cones. AS a
child We would gather them for use
at Christmas. We painted them all
colors, gilded and silvered them,
also Just coated some with glue and
sprinkled them with snow" (the
artificial kind) and fastened wires
to them and used them as trim
mings on the Christmas tree. We
also gathered jimson weed pods and
milkweed pods. These we painted
in the same way. If you use your
imagination, little thin wire
dixie that fastening down your milk
bottle tops and some tinsel, you
can make some very original orna-
ments for your tree.
The one ornament that always
thrilled me as a child and I have
remembered through the years, was
a large owl made of crepe paper,
with two little owls sitting beside
him: he sat on a crescent moon. I
would gladly tell any one interested
how they we're made.

as I, too, am interested.

them different colors and make a

place? 1t takes two coats of paint
to make them look right. You can
get small 10-cent cans Of paint at
the 10-cent stores. Paint some of
the cones one color and the tips a
different color. Aluminium paint
makes pretty ones. Tip some of the
cones with gilt. Raffia is generally
used in making a charm string, but
I have used a thick twine string
painted it green. and wired the cones
on with fine wire. If you have any
green magnolia leaves, put clear
varnish on them and add to your
charm string. Hope you can get
some ideas from this.
