Wreathed In
Christmas
Beauty
(Helen Houston Boileau)
Each year brings new and
dazzling beautiful Christmas
bangles and baubles, and excit
ing new ideas for decorating,
yet in spite of all this modern
glamour, certain favorites man
age to hold their own, year af
ter year. Wreaths, for instance,
remain a loved and lovely sym
bol of the Holiday Season.
There is a refined and reas
suringly traditional beauty
about wreaths, whether hanging
over an open fireplace, used as
a welcome piece on the door, or
hung as a friendly greeting in
a window. These are long fav
orite uses, and, nice as they are,
there are many other ways in
which traditional wreaths may
be used. Yes, and it’s sometimes
fun to experiment with rather
un-traditional types of wreaths.
Here are a few ideas for such
new uses, and new creations:
1. Make tiny lapel sized
wreaths by twisting a few ev
ergreens around a circle of green
pipe cleaner. Add a few little
berries. Keep a tray full of
these little corsages in the
front hall and pin them on vis
itors for a gay holiday touch.
2. When wreaths are to be
hung in windows, make them
double faced so that they will
be attractive both inside the
room, and as seen from outside
the window. Other wreaths that
are to be used on doors, walls,
etc., are easier to work with
when made flat on the back
side.
3. Use minute wreath corsages
as place card-favors on a holiday
table.
4. Place large wreaths around
the service plates for Christmas
Dinner — or on a Holiday buf
fet table.
5. Use Small wreaths as nap
kin rings.
6. Float a wreath of green
parsley on a bowl of rosy to
mato soup or bouillon.
7. Use a wreath as an hors
d’ouvrcs server. Cover a styro
foam basic wreath with green
ery and place it on a simple
crystal platter. Stick tid bit
laden cocktail picks into the sty
rofoam.
8. Wreaths around mirrors are
always lovely, but try adding
to the effect by spraying on the
mirror a MERRY CHRISTMAS
greeting, using pressurized can
ned “snow.”
9. Use a number of small
wreaths as candle bases for a
row of stately tapers, on a man
tle or table.
10. Bake Christmas cakes and
breads in wreath shapes, using
ring molds, and recorate them to
resemble wreaths, using green
icing, bits of citron maraschino
cherries, angelica, etc. Doughnut
cutters make nice wreath cooky
shapes, and fondant can be hand
twisted and shaped into wreaths,
then decorated with cut bits of
gum drops.
11. For an attractive Christ
mas table, surround a huge can
dle, or a cluster of tapers, with
a large, flat wreath. Nestle
Christmas balls in the wreath
to harmonize with the color
tones in the tapers or candle.
Spray a silvery snow mist over
all.

At The Foot
Of The Manger
(Continued from Page 7B)
lehem, but the freckled angel
stopped him, saying that al
though this lamb was the most
beautiful and unusually white,
it still could be whiter! So in
stead of going toward Bethle
hem they took it in the opposite
direction, down the other side
of the hill where the pool was—
and there, in the clear water,
they dumped it right in the
middle of the stars!
The little shepherd was not
certain that this should have
been done, but the freckled an
gel said that it should. And so
it was.
There was some considerable
rubbing, and fluffing, and
brushing to do, and while it was
being done the little shepherd
pretended to grumble and tried
to frown, but he took great care
to see that his lamb did not
catch cold, and handled it gent
ly, and even did more work than
the freckled angel.
BACK TO BETHLEHEM
After it had become quite dry,
the little shepherd took it to his
breast and bundled it up to
keep it warm, but as he did so
a tiny hoof kicked out, and sud
denly there was a small rip in
the garment of the little shep
herd. Wtih order, once more,
restored, the three at last were
off to Bethlehem.
From time to time the little
shepherd glanced down to see
that his favorite lamb was all
right and reassure it along the
way. “You’ll be better off
there.” And “I know you’ll be
happy — won’t you?” he told
it. And the lamb seemed to
think so, for it was very quiet
and appeared sorry that it had
torn his clothing that little rip.
So the shepherd shifted it is his
arms, that it would not face the
sleeve with the rip but face the
undamaged one. And then they
both were quiet.
When all arrived at Bethle
hem, this time the little shep
herd walked softly into the sta
ble behind the freckled angel.
The first thing he did was to
look at the Child Who lay in
the manger. And the second
thing he did was to see the Holy
Family, and the shining angels,
and visiting Kings in their glit
tering raiments with their gifts
before them, and the small grey
donkey gazing down over the
crib. But the third thing that the
little shepherd did was to peek
over the shoulder of the freck
led angel. And breathlessly he
peeked again to make certain
that he saw what he thought he
saw.
The place at the foot of the
manger was empty.
THE HEAVENLY CHORUS
At the same time he became
aware of the tiniest doubt on
another matter. To be sure, the
little shepherd had brought a
gift, but it was only a lamb,
even though it was the best of
the flock. At first it struggled
and wobbled a little, when he
placed it on the manger floor,
but now it stood quite peaceful
and white. The little shepherd
looked at it and thought the
scrubbing it had been given was
well worth while, for among
the gifts of kings his favorite
lamb was in plain sight at the
foot of the manger.
As to the little shepherd him
self, he was content to stay as
much in the shadows as possible,
for although the place where the
sharp, tiny hoof of the lamb had
torn his garment was not very
big, one is not usually caught
with a rip in the presence of a
king, and besides, his clothing
was not too white, since he had
been so busy looking after the
lamb. He was happy to stay
there and just look at the pic-

ture of all before him—which
was now complete.
He noticed that all the angels
were waiting as if to ask when
to sing, and then he saw the
freckled angel nod. And much to
his surprise, he knew then that
the freckled angel had been ap
pointed by the King of Heaven
to see that the donkey was
quiet, and the lamb was brushed
white and that the other angels
all sang correctly their Heaven
ly chorus.
And as the angels sang their
glory to the Son of God the
Highest, a little shepherd heard
his name also — Well, they
sang about the shepherds, and
the least among them — and
very likely that was he.
THE KING OF LOVE
And for once, the lamb gave
him no trouble at all, and the
heart of the little shepherd was
warm with joy, and even the
rip in his garment was gone and
his clothing was white and per
fectly as good as new. And the
freckled angel was grinning at
him through iwice as many
freckles, and the little shepherd
had the strange feeling that he
himself no longer had any of
his own.
And so the little shepherd
knew also that as miraculous as
all this was, there was yet some
thing greater, for as he had giv
en his greatest possession, so he
had received the greatest gift
in return, and for all his days
he would know the joy of fol
lowing the King of Love.
Okinawan
Christmas

gently. “I smoke one whole cig
arette in three days!”
Christmas is giving — Okina
wans are our current beneficia
ries, and they’re very happy
about it all. One neighborhood
little boy knows just when we
set up the Crib each year and
every day he visits to say a
prayer and always makes sure
that we notice his fervor. Then
later on in the day he stops by
the Dispensary saymg, “Sister,
you know me, don’t you, Sis
ter?”
Yes, Christmas is giving in a
very special manner. We might
say that our whole life and all
of our work here in Okinawa is
a constant Christmas. We give
what we are and have though at
most times what we have is lit
tle. At this special season of the
year, however, very many peo
ple, recalling that God so loved
the world as to give His Only
Begotten Son, want to be a part
of that giving. They know that
as they lay their gifts (through
our hands) at the feet of some
needy Okinawans they are lay
ing them also before the Manger
Crib of the Christ Child as He
Himself said: “As long as you
did it for one of these, the least
of My brethren, you did it for
me.”
Christmas Saint
St. Anastasia enjoys the
unique distinction of having a
special commemoration at the
second of the three Christmas
Masses. By order of the Em
peror Diocletian this wealthy
Roman widow was banished
from the Eeternal City about
the year 287 and burnt alive at
Sirmium, Yugoslavia, on De
cember 25 (exact year not estab
lished). Toward the end of the
fifth century her name was in
serted in the Canon of the Mass.
A few decades later the celebra
tion of the second Mass on
Christmas in her honor was re
quired of the clergy of Rome.
St. Nicholas speaks Spanish.
