1937 Christmas Trees Adapt Their Moods to Decorations of House

Modern Home, Indeed, Might Use One of Bamboo; Bomar Cramer and Mrs. Demarchus Brown Delight Vassar Club Audience.

By VIRGINIA MOORHEAD MANNON Sophisticated Christmas trees this season will be

dressed according to the ‘period in which the house is decorated. The chipped balls and tarnished tinsel of the past may rest in peace in the attic—to be replaced by ornaments which pick up the theme of the room.

An exampl® of the new vogue in trees was set up today in an English Regency morning room. By using garlands of silver caught with heavy silver icicles on the tree, the decorator cleverly repeated the crystal garlands in the wallpaper design. Great crystal balls resembling iridescent scap bubbles added a fairy-like touch, and the lack of color was a welcome diversion from the usual flamboyant decorations. To enhance the picture the gifts with which the tree will be laden should be wrapped in silver and white gauze. This entertaining innovation in Christmas tree styles sets one to conjecturing the effect of different types of adornment. Imagine an Italian Renaissance tree with heavy garlands of red and gold accenting the rich colors of a Titian over the fireplace. Fancy the glamour of a French tree done by Marie Antoinette for her palace in Versailles—all white ostrich feathers festooned with garlands of pearls. A baroque tree dipped in gold lacquer and decorated only with heavy white snow might be just the thing in a French drawing room. An Early American tree suggests quaint painted wooden ornaments in the shape of birds or Santa Claus shoes. A tree fashioned of bamboo and trimmed with clear crystal might strike just the right note in a modern house. Here a touch of whimsy could be introduced in the lighting by using, perhaps, emerald green tapers, a concession to the illumination of the earliest Christmas trees. Incidentally, trees don’t have to be lighted by condles or electric bulbs. Electric spotlights placed in various parts of the room provide & new and dramatic effect. Angels, they say, are the final word in Christmas decorations this year.

zn un » 3 » ” The combination of Bomar Cramer and Mrs. Demarchus C. Brown on the Indiana Vassar Club's program vesterday morning was responsible for taxing the seating capacity of L. S. Ayres’ Auditorium to the limit. The club's first large benefit for the Vassar Scholarship Fund drew an enthusiastic and smartly turned out audience. Following Mr. Cramer's exhilarating performance of six Chopin numbers, Mrs. Brown captured the imagination of her listeners with her talk on “Arles—The Jewel City of France.” Bright, sunny Arles in Provence, at the head of the great triangle where the River Rhone divides, became a beautiful illuminated history book of the South of France. The Phoenicians and Romans who used the river as a highway for travel; the Greeks who brought the olive, fig and grape, the secret of Provence's prosperity today: Julius Caesar. who auartered his army in the province in the winter; troubadours, monks and poets—all left their mark. The gentle Rhone, the hot sun and the mistral, the biting wind which blows from the mountains, have had their effect upon the character of the people. It is a matter of regret that the picturesque Arlesian costumes of the days before the war have disappeared under the steam roller of standardization. But the narrow and winding streets are still filled with happy, vivacious, voluble natives where Southern accent is distinguished by a decided nasal twang. And the fruits, flowers and olive orchards are continually protected from the mistral by rows upon rows of “tall, dark, definite cypress trees.” Mrs. Byron K. Rust, chairman of the committee in charge of the benefit, was assisted by Mrs. Mortimer C. Furscott, Indiana Vassar Club president; Mrs. Albert Lang and Mrs. Albert Seaton. A number of luncheon parties were given in Ayres’ tearoom after the musical program and lecture.

zn n 4 un % Additional dinner parties before the Players Olb's opening performance this evening at the Civic Theater are those to be given by Mr. and Mrs. Herman C. Wolff and Mr. and Mrs. Joseph A. Miner. Mr. and Mrs. Wolff's guests will be Messrs and Mesdames Edwin M. McNally, Francis W. Dunn, Herman Kothe. George A. Kuhn, C. Otto Janus, Mrs. Jesse Fletcher and Robert Parrott.
