Trimming the § Tree By Frances Grinstead § e S HE decorated tree, = B around which our ‘, B M Christmas holiday &,“ centers, has an N ot e OTizin older than {%""” Christianity itself. ﬁ?@”;‘?,ﬁ v In anclent days 15N " g trees were held sacred to various good and evil spirits and offerings to them were hung upon the branches, To the Teutons the fir tree, with its’ symmetrical spreading branches, was a symbol of the sun'and they celebrated the winter season by decking it in tinsel, flowers, toys and other ornaments. Christian use of the tree syvmbol probably began in Germany, but there are many stories of the first Christmas tree. One is that Martin Luther, walking under the stars one Christmas Eve, was moved by their wonder as a revelation of the nearness of God to' man. When he reached home, he took a little fir tree and put lighted candles on its branches to explain his thought to the children. With age-old traditions behind it, it is fitting that the typical Christmas tree in these days is decorated purely for the sake of its own beauty. Small and graceful, it often stands on the library table, gifts heaped around its base, or in miniature form graces the dining table, the center ¢f cheer until New Year’s. If it is to shine in the memories of children through years to come, its ornaments must be hung with as much thouzht’ as ever the old Teutons gave to the placing of their sun-festival gifts. The secret of decorating a tree effectively is to make its decorations' look as if they grew there. One secret of that Is to place the ornaments at the points of growth.

SO ® | A | l"ﬂ:“ ; 8 | e s = PN\ Nk 2 i B i 7, where the limbs branch and where the twigs leave the branches; the other is to place ornaments that look heavy where the tree looks strongest, well back on the branches and toward the lower part of' the tree. _ . It Is a good thing to lay out the materials for decoration with those of like shape-and color together and to handle one kind of decorations at a time. In this way it is easy to distribute masses of trimming and spots of color evenly. and to see that the different kinds are well intermingled. It is a common mistake to place most of the ornaments on the tip ends of the branches, under the impression that they will show up best there. As a matter of fact, a few ornaments well placed on the body of the tree are more effective than if they are scattered on the outer circumference. The remainder of lights reflected from various ornaments should also be considered; those with glassy surfaces shine with a different glow. from that of tinsel, and apples, orangss and cornucopias of candv must not he expected to counterbalance brighter surfaces. So distribute the decorations having a different kind of surface. The glassy ornaments will relieve the dark masses of the tree if they are hung well back in it, but dull-surfaced Objects, if not too, large, should be hung in nearer view. A good place for fruits, .which are heavy but too dull ' to show In the body of the tree unless there Is a break in the foliage,.is on | the sturdy lower limbs, ; l The small electric lights which have | superseded candles for the Christmas tree should be arranged in orderly ! gradation from the lower limbs to the ;top. A pretty ‘effect is produeced if ltiny white bulbs are substituted for the vari-colored ones that usually ’ make up these, circuits and each light enclosed in a small paper cone of soft !yell,ow or orange. These cones projecting downward glve much the same iimpression as the vertlcal effect of candles. . ' Chains of tinsel and colored paper ‘are effective decorations if they are used rightly. They should not be sim.'X:"‘-‘.‘ S : {", 4 g "_,/dv‘-ll_'_-:‘ P VG e S Y ,\'lN{\\ o ‘ \ \_jgg ) ..qﬁ" /“?#’;};;'_;i‘)f‘ﬁ;-' \‘e«‘\ ""{ - NESA ARREION !L ply strung around the tree, weighing ‘on tbe tips of its branches, so that they seem to fetter it. If they wind ‘branches, as a vine might, they seem to belong in the tree. o - Toys may have thelr place on the ‘tree itself, if they are decorative. An amusing doll perched on a limb, a bright-colored horn gleaming in the shadows, a rubber ball suspended high in the branches, will delight the chil dren. The grown-up who trims a Christ. mas tree has a chance for once in the year to be an artist—with the most appreciative public in the world. The children on Christmas morning wil: recognize his work as a masterpiece it he only remembers two rules: First the tree’s the thing; it must be treated as a-unit and every bit of decoration must further the total effect. Second, don’t overload it; if it is not smothered with trimming. the tree Itself is the very best part of the decoration. (®. 1926, Western Newspaper Union.)

Relay Christmas Plan l ~_ Affords Entertainment ' A SUCCESSFUL pre-Christmas plan fer old and.young in clubs. school groups, ete,, which lessens responsi-i bility and labor, is a Relay Christmas, when, a week or more before Christ-' mas, a series of socials are indulged. in. One or more of the group is a hostess, assisted by others who decorate, plan the stunts and games, arrange the menu provided by the hostess and which cpnsists of things usually served as the first course of a dinner. | The second social will be held at another home with fitting food for the second course in a dinner. L If .the hostess desires to present gift favors.she plans a novel way of distributing them. On packages on a line across a room, blindfolded guests, may tie Christmas tags on a parcel which becomes his gift. Magie tricks are performed and prize gifts are awarded those who Mguess the tricks. Winning in various stunts-is an excuse for a gift to be presented, the object beingz that each guest shall re-. celve a package of equal value.: A post oflice with postmistress may hold a coveted f::h”lt which may be procured only by performing some task or stunt

peculiar to the individual. . _ The last early 'social may be served with popcoin, candy, nuts In holiday baskets distributed from a tree, or cleverly hidden in the fireplace which may later have a fire around which refreshments are eaten. - This relay {dea may be carried out during holiday week, called “New Leaf Year” parties, with games .savoring of prophecy for the New Year. A New Year's Eve wake may terminate festivities.—Gertrude Walton. , (©), 1925, Western Newspaper Union.) s I Mreat® (Rl -

Every Christmas Fair , - and Happy for Swinton IT WAS "an unusual Christmas; Na- . ture had made it so. The rosebuds were still bursting into bleom; the sunshine was broadcasting far and near; a warmth’ that doesn’t usually continue was over the land; but one fire was necded and that the Chrisimas blaze, to kindle -in the hearts of the cold and selfish the warmth and sunshine which God had settled over the land and intended for everv heart. -

Abe Swinton came from his shanty, vyawned and looked around. oOld Scrooge himself couldn’t hold a candle to Abe, who was selfish and stingy to the bone. The chimes of the FRirst church were pealing forth - “Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas to all!” The boys and girls were playing in the street and shouted to Abe: “A Christmas of sunshine and flowers, we bring you today. We hope .yop'll «c¢njoy them and your grouch will pass away.” : ~ Abe went into his hut and muttered to himself; he felt chilly but couldn’t venture out again. He took from hiding a bag of shining gold—lhe felt of it, started to put it back, but instead took it to the Provident assbeiation. “Use this he said, for the poor. This is the best Christmas I ever had and 1 feel happy. It's because the sun shines so warm, I suppose: never another like it, to me at least.”” The sunshine continued and every Christinas was fair -and happy and Joyous.—Emily Burks Adams, - ((©, 1925, Western Newspaper Union.): AT
