HOW TO DECORATE
YOUR HOPVE
AT CHRISTA\ASTIDE.
Christmas would not cheerful
without decoration*. Some year* ago
v.he interior* of houses were neglected.
*o far a* ornamenting them w ih holly
and pine and mistletoe was concerned.
Now there la scarcely a window on any
pro*peroua residential street that is not
prettier and brighter for a wreath of
y listening leave* tied with a bow of
f-arlet ribbon. Week* before Christ
ina* men are *< outing the northern
Mountain elopes for the fir, the spruce,
the pine and the balsam tree*. In more
southern state* the bluer. faced auntie*
and uncle* and even the little pickanin
nies are busy all day cutting the most
nourishing spray* from the holly bosh
es, to be packed and shipped to the
Christmas market*. In the orchard*
and the woods hundreds of little boy*
and Kiris are peering, bright ey*(l,
among the branches of the tree*, louk
ing for the white berried mistletoe.
When it reaches the market, it Is tak
en out and displayed on stalls for sale,
II nd for weeks before it is needed peo
ple Who are anxious lest the stock of
greens should fall buy them up and
pack them away In damp, cold cellars
to keep until Christmas. Evergreens
used to be bought und then made up
into wreaths, but for house decoration
they can be had front the florists and
the other dealers so cheap that it Is
not worth while to make them up at
home. In most homes the decorations
consist simply of a few wreaths of hoi
ly hung about the walls, a spray of
holly and mistletoe on the chandelier
and a tree trimmed for the children and
kept carefully hidden until Christmas
eve Yard* of evergreen may be bought
in the shops, and this, with a cluster of
i cily or mistletoe shining here and
t here among its folds, serves admirably
to decorate archways. Palms ; *vd ivy
rre serviceable in decorating, but nei
her ivy nor mistletoe should be used
i.i churches, because ivy the plant
tacred to Bacchus and was used In the
i id heathen celebrations. Mistletoe was
used by the Druids at their ceremonials
; nd is therefore out of place at a Chris
t an festival, as it. as well as the ivy, is
t }o closely connected with the religion*
of the past.
The. Christmas tree is one of the cus
toms that we owe to our Scandinavian
ancestors .and is due to the old story
in Norse mythology of the world tree
ydgrasil. When the missionaries 66n
verted the savage northern vikings, the
tettlval of •!!•' tree was continued under

reliable Information on that point."
And like a flash It occurred to me that
I madamr'a eldest aott had been more
* than a little attentive to Ihe daughter
a different form, the bishop* making
the pine tree, with it* eveigreen leaves,
the symbol of the eternal life which the
Christ had come to bestow and the giv
ing of presents hung upon its green
houghs the type of the good gift* that
Clod give* to men.
The tree I* in many houses the real
center of the Christmas interest. The
gift* of the entire household are placed
upon it for distribution on Chrb ima*
eve. All sorts of bright ornaments are
of course hurg upon the tree, with no
other object than to beautify It. and
the quantity of these used determines
It* expense. A tree may tie trimmed
f«c any price from *1 to tIOO. A* a
rule, the price of a tree is about 12.
Trees cost, however, all the way from
25 cents to $5 and are of pine, hemlock
balsam, cedar and spruce.
Most families Who have small chil
dren to be interested In a Christmas
tree pack away the nonperlehable orna
ments from year to year. These Include
the Kilt I lulls and tinsel figures that do
so much to brighten a tree. Year* ago
candy ornaments were used almost en
tirely, the gilt ornaments being few
and expensive. Candy hearts gorgeous
with sugar laeework and well plastered
with silver and gilt paint, figures of
St. Nicholas, of fat candy cherubs and
crosses painted with holly berries and
green leaves were universally used.
To trim a tree strings of colored pop
corn festooned from limb to limb are
pretty and Inexpensive. The top of a
tree always looks well ornamented with
a figure of the patron saint of the
Christmas season, St. Nicholas. Small
figures of this sort can be bought for 10
cents at the dealers In Christmas goods.
Bits of cotton fastened all over the tree
make a fine imitation of snow. A yard
of tarlatan costs but a few cents and
may be ctlt up to make dozens of little
boots and hearts, filled with bright col
ored candies and stitched together with
bright yorn. Tinsel paper can be cut
into cornucopias, the interiors of which
are lined with lace paper to cover the
candy and protect, it from the dust.
plenty of tinsel should he displayed
upon the t-ee. It costs little and can
be saved to use again next year. The
shops, too, have a pretty Imitation of
snow, mad* of fine tissue paper. The
gHt bonbons; which can be Bought In
the shops hv the dozen. nSt only make
-the tree look bright,' but affcrd'the Chil
dren a lot of amusement. Sprays of red
berried holly tied her- and there on the

A very large majority of people keen
things hot by merely putting the dish
away In the oven, nnd every one must
know the consequence—namely, drlan
up meat and gravy.
Now, it often occurs, if your liusbana
is* a business man, that he la unexpect*
eilly detained at his ofllco until long
past the hour you have prepared his
evening meal for him. This is very an*
noylng for you, and yet you know youg
husband i» not In any way to blame,
and you must make the beat of it- Al*
low iiiin half an hour’s grace, and then
have your own meal. After that cut ofl

After Wnsliing the Dishes.
Women who are obliged to wash their
own dishes and at the same time wish
lo preserve the beauty of their bands
should remember that after taking
them out of the dlshpan they should
be Immediately rinsed in strong t'-Um
water. This will prevent the nails be
coming soft and the skin getting rough
from the repeated contact of the hands
with hot dishwater. Before beginning
to dry the babe* they should dry Bielr
own hands thoroughly. The busy house
wife is too often careless lr» this re
spect and the result is rough, red and
unsightly hands.
For Invalids and children no bettor
