Wain, y«u. Own .Jloficlay abecorafioni Jo Pleasure Make your holiday decorations and you will not only save money, you'll have fun. A kissing ring tor a doorway can be madF by covering two embroidery hoops with ribbon or tinsel Place them at right angles to each other and add a bell, ball ornament or sprig of mistletoe inside. Attach a bow at the bottom if you wish Instead of embroidery hoops, you may use can rings painted with gilt or tempera paints. Evergreen branches can be used in many ways. Have you ever tried covering the wood moulding about a door with them? Or bending a wire coat hanger into a circle and attaching greens to it to form a wreath? You can add ball ornaments or bright cranberries to brighten it a bit Then how about decorating your windows and mirrors? Cotton, white spray paint or white paper snowflakes always look pretty. But if there’s an artist tn your family, why not have him paint a scene of a jolly Santa on a window or mirr-or with tempera paints? Tips on Choosing Christmas Tree That Will Last If your Christmas tree shed needles all over the living room last year, chances are you weren’l careful enough in buying a "fresh* 1 tree. Touch-typing will help you pick a choicy tree. You can tell by the feel which trees are better able ■o withstand the hot siege indoors. If twigs and foliage aren’t reasoni ibly resilient or needles feel dry and crumbly, better pass up the tree. Chances are it will look like a hatrack before Christmas day. And if you're not quite sure by the touch method, bang the butt as the tree sharply on the floor. A shower of needles will tell you if the tree’s drying out, even before you get it home. Os course, the way the tree looks is an important factor, but an attractive tree that will lose its beauty in short order is hardly a bargain. The ideal holiday tree boasts the i traditional pyramid shape, with lush branches reaching to the base. The two favorites in the market places are Balsam fir and Norway spruce. The slower-grow-ng Balsam fir is more expensive than the spruce, but it retains its |beauty longer indoors.

People Welcome Practical Gifts NEW YORK (INS) — People really like to get practical Christmas presents. That’s the report of a recent survey that asked the question "What would you really like this Christmas?" Men show a special preference. when receiving practical gifts,, for those with a “do-it-your-self" angle-—not so much for reasons of economy, but because they like the "I did it, with my own two hands" feeling. Even homemakers like practical presents, says Seymour Milstein, president of the large resilient tile flooring firm (Mastic Tile Corporation of America) that made the wvey.. According to Milstein the average American housewife would rather have a time-saving appliance than an elaborate lounging outfit that spends most of the year dustcollecting in the closet.
