THOSE DISTANT BELLS
The distant bells are ringing.
List’ to the joyous sound;
A host of children singing,
"Old Santa's coming down.”
He started on his journey,
So tiresome, long and slow,
But we arevsure he s coming.
He loves his children so.
Last tght we whispered to him,
We spoke to him in prayer
As if nothing else would do him,
H# listened to us there.
We had .so much to tell him,
Seems like he'd never know;
A heavy heart befell him,
But his face was all aglow.
His eyes were bright, like heaven,
And his arms were full of toys,
And he whispered to us children—
“I lov« you girls and boys."
"When a star you see. out yonder,
Like a diamond in the sky;
You'll see a host, a legion,

“Each one will pay a visit,
Each heart will then be glad.”
For the star we see out yonder
Is the bestest friend we've had.

Christmas Decorations
' Again the beauty of Christmas Is
with us’'—the beauty of unselfish
giving, the beauty of unselfish liv
ing
Christmas decorations are an out
ward expression of our inner feeling
at this season, ah innate desire that
the whole world be a lovely place.
And since Christmas has its very
beginning in the home, since the
home is the true center of all the
delights and pleasures traditionally
associated with Christmas, our first
thoughts of decorations are for the
home.
In recent years external home
decorations have grown in popu
larity and developed in artistic ef
fect, They may be simple or elabor
ate as one may desire, but authori
ties will tell us that there are sev
eral points to keep in mind in plan
ning this exterior decoration.
First of all, take a good look at
your place at night. Outlines of
house and shrubbery will appear dif
ferently then. Try lights in various
front rooms porch or hall and see
how the outline will change. From
this a plan for extra lighting may
be more easily worked out.
S°condly, consider the style or
type of your home and adopt the
decorative scheme to your typ e - A
of modern feeling would not
for traditional treatment.
And lastly, center the decorative
interest on a focal point,
It may be a beautiful doorway, a
bay window, an attractive grouping
of shrubbery, or an outside
mas tree; but make other decora
tions as background to the main
point
In addition to lights, many inter
esting effects may be obtained
side by indirect lighting of
mas figures or scenes. There is
ger m overdoing this type of
oration and plans should be
out very carefully beforehand.
whatever is chosen, be sure that
wiring meets with approval of
electrician and tha there is no
ger.
While all of us may not
the outside of our place, it
would not be Christmas without
pungent odor of evergreens
the house. Just to open the
| door and get a whiff of cedar is
most as delightful as the aroma
Christmas dinner. Did you ever stop
to think how much we depend on (
this home decoration for gaiety?
And how somber the holiday time
would be without holly and candles
and big red bows?
Again, in planning decorations for
interiors, keep in mind having a cen
tral point of interest. Each room
may supply one. In entrance hall
and dining room, it is most often
the table that receives our atten- !
tion; in other rooms mantles or
windows, with minor arrangements
or small tables or desk as contrib-1
uting factor. !
Of course, the shops offer a wide
variety, both in price and design, of
home decorations for the Christmas
season, teriais to but be do not forget the ma- | j
obtained from the home j
place, or nearby woods in which
you have permission to go.
The collecting of materials from
the yard that may is, the serve pruning a second shrubs pur- j
pose, of
and trees which supply this mater
ial.
When it comes to the actual piac-
1 ing of decorations, let the children
help They probably will not arrange I
things just right and you will have 1
to do them over again; your pa
tience perhaps, will be slightly
frayed, but they do love having a
P* rt in "fixing” And, after all, we
celebrate Christmas because of a tit
tie Child.
