. Christmas Tree Aided By Balance

Distribution Is Termed Important in Yule Decoration.

‘By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

. As every Christmas tree is beautiful to a child, it savors of the ridiculous to speak of “style.” Yet there are certain rules to follow if you would get the best effect of your ornaments. Distribution has so much to do with appearance that it pays to

count the supply of glittering balls, |

and divide ‘them equally among the ‘pine boughs. This saves trouble, too, and you won't be robbing this and that branch later to get enough for the last one. The heaviest bulbs should hang near the widest part of the tree, although symmetry is not necessary. If there is a toddler who has a tendency to eat glass, and most babies put everything in their mouths, use unbreakable toys for the lowest boughs. Or make small cones, boxes and baskets from stiff gold paper. Children love to help with tree ornaments, to be left where Santa can get them. Stringing pop-

corn is something every child loves.

to remember. Let Other Children Help

Perhaps the children are over the Santa Claus age, but there is 10 be: a tree just the same. Then why not let them help to trim the pine, or spruce, on Christmas Eve? Ask them. Some children love a surprise more than helping, so in that case, mother and father, you will have to be Saint Nick yourselves. If you are tired of mixed colors, and want a change, all blue ornaments, or. all silver or green, depending on your taste, make a beautiful effect. But don’t forget the star at the top, whatever color scheme you chonse. To me, Christmas colors are still red and green, but all red. makes a rather overpowering display. 1 If you can find them, a nice change from spherical ornaments are glass birds. Children are always excited when they discover little animals and Santa Clauses in .unexpected places on the wonder tree. : However, it is best not to sacrifice glitter too much. This fruitbearing evergreen must shine at all costs. If ornaments are scarce, a package or two of “icicles” are just the thing.

“Landscaping Base of Tree”

Under the tree, ah, here is where daddy shines at his best. He probably began about July to browse for barnyard citizens in miniature, and to concoct tunnels and hills. But in case, just in case, mother, the terrain is left to your ingenuity, the area under the tree is not hard to fix. Hide the holder either with cotton sprinikled with” mica, or get some dark ‘green flannel, which lends itself easily to caves and mountains. Bright tin pans make good lakes, if you slide them under the cloth and cut holes, Today “creches” are purchasable
