Paper
Campaign Lags

NEW YORK, March 6 CUP) -
Receipts of waste paper fell to 125.-
500 tons during the week of Febru-
airy 10, Edwin S. Friendly, chairman
of the newspaper committee of the
U. S. Victory Waste paper campaign
announced in a letter to publishers
Monday. The figure is approxi-
mately the same collected during
the first week of the drive last
December.
Our goal is $4,000 tons every
week" Friendly said. THE record
speaks for itself. We are not doing
well"
Recalling a Gallup poll which
Shcwed that only IS per cent of
the people are aware of the drive
and that only SO per cent arc
saving waste paper, Friendly sug-
gested that greater effort by news
papers is necessary.

Deck the Halls
BY Elizabeth MacRae Boykin

Making beautiful and original
Christmas decorations is one of the
preholiday activities of we'll
known garden club, and their an
nual matchmaking party is one OF
the most popular events of the club
year. On this occasion. the men,
bers meet and make holiday wreaths
and decorations for the hospitals
and often there's also a lecture and
demonstration of novel evergreen
arrangements.
Here are some ideas we gathered
at a recent meeting Of this club:
A flat-wall Christmas tree to hang
on door or over mantel was made
of evergreen sprigs fastened to a
piece of corrugated board cut in
Christmas tree outline When ii
was covered luxuriantly, small
Christmas tree balls were added and
a pot-shaped base was covered in
red oilcloth. Any red material OF
paper could be used If the oilcloth
isn't available.
A beautiful Della Robbia wreath
was made Of fragrant balsam en-
twined with small perfect real fruit
and bound with bands of Madonna
blue oilcloth. The little fruits were
vanished after the wreath was COM
pleted.
Then there was large door spray
made of Austrian pine trimmed with
large cones, small old sleigh bells
and red ribbon bow. Other sprays
and wreaths were trimmed with
winter berries, vanished kumquats
heather, bayberries. For door
decoration there was a basket filled
with evergreens and trimmed with
berries and cones. While a mantel
arrangement was made of ever
greens with cones, pods. heather
and bayberries stuck into base pad
of moist sphagnum moss placed on a
thin piece of wood.
For Christmas dinner table, s
bird cage flower holder served al
base into which sprays of ever.

Dorothy Dix Says

like dray horse talking to bores
and listening to egotists who spend
their time telling you about how
great and wonderful they are, and
what infant phenomena their chill
dren are?
So if it is worth while to make
sacrifices to get along with casual
acquaintances, why isn't 1t worth
while to make them to get along
with your husband? If you have to
handle other people with gloves
why not handle him that way? If
it pays to soft-soap other people,
why not use a little emollient on the
domestic situation?
OF course. there are lot of other
wives who feel just as you do-that
it is too much trouble to take care
of a mere husband That is why so
many women lose their husbands.

Christmas luncheon centerptece had
balsam and spruce arranged on
star shape.
Nestled among the evergreens we're
small Christmas corsages that looked
to be part of the centerpiece, but
could be taken out for each guest
without marring the effect of the
evergreen star. In addition to
Christmas corsages, miniature
wreaths and sprays were suggested
for guests to take away These tiny
wreaths are attractive for invalid
trays.
For holiday buffet decoration,
a pail of large red Santa boots were
filled with sprays of cedar, small
fruits, red berries, with grapes and
apples spilling out in a graceful ar
rangement.
For Christmas parties, corsage
trees are gracious-make them of
small-sized evergreen trees, using
corSages for the tree ornaments-to
be given to the guests.
But the evergreen approach to
Christmas is the job for the artist
who has time to spend on intricate
arrangements. If you're busy soul,
you'll be mighty grateful for plaster
angels, leftover foil and plastic trees
and ceramic Madonnas, things that
can create Christmas atmosphere
without too much work. We know
a family who had many a Christmas
worth OF cheer from pin-up Christ
mas tree made of compo board cut
in tree shape and painted green
this they ornament with the Christ
mas cards that come in the mail: a
box of pins nearby makes it easy to
pin up each new card

large white cardboard angels about
l8 inches tall and with easel backs
so they stand alone. the work of the
children one pre-Christmas season

strains.
Certainly husband is a woman S
most precious possession, SO why
should she resent having to take
the same precautions in taking care
of him that she would in caring
for her other treasures? AS for the
work of making yourself attractive
to your husband, don't you have to
do that for every other human being
with whom you come in contact?
Why do you doll yourself up in
your best clothes and put on your

it, Elizabeth, is that man who was
worth marrying is worth keeping.
You take precious good care to pro-

that they will not be mislaid or

trouble to safeguard your husband?
