Table decorations give one abund-

imagination. A large snow ball con-

a ribbon attached is not an entirely
new‘idea but it can be decorated in
a new way by having each string lead
to a place card, on which resides a
gum drop man with clove eyes.
Gum drops can.bg used in so many
ways for decorations. Christmas
trees, eight inches high, can be con-

/^LNE grows tired of the Mmeaere
llof Christmas decorations. Holly
wreaths tied with red sashes
grow to be a aaered traditkia^ frbm
which we dare sot depart. -Of course
there’s a special Christinas favor to
holly wreaths, just as there is to the
fragrance of pine" branches. For older
[folks, vague memories of childhood
| joys are awakened by the associa*
1 tions of scents and the Christmas
[festival is hallowed by old happi-
i nesses.
I Wouldn’t it be t pleasant riiange
to decorate an entire room in one
color scheme and the next room in a
different scheme, ■ keeping in mind
the old favorites red and green and
white and adding tinsel as a fourth,
to the possible combination?
A red and white living room will
be friendly and gay. An old white
mantle will make a wonderful cen-
terpiece, as the, hearth is ever the
center of the home. White cotton
snow covering the mantle shelf with
a pair of great tall thin red candles
flanking both sides of a miniature
treP in the middle, is suggested as an
attractive setting. The green the
|tree would be subordinate, making
I red the principal part of the story.
[Red and white decoratoins .hanging
from chandeliers, or wall brackets,
and placed over pictures frames will
[add to the effect. Beaded fringes,
made of cranberries and popcorn will
add wonderfully to one of the big
white globes usually in the center of
jthe room.
Green and white will be cool and
[quiet for the library, or for the din-
ling room. In the latter one might
[want a special note of emphasis in
four tall red candles on the table. In
the library the- soft green of bay-
berry candles will seem fitting.
Tinsel can be combined effectively
l with either red or green. The use of
long lines of tinsel or of tinsel orna-
[ments will give an unusual touch to
your decorations. You know it doesn’t
[have to lx* used exclusively for the
Christmas tree.
I Tinsel can be used for tying Christ-
jmas gifts-combined with red or
green ribbon, or tied into the bow
(knot on the packages. Brilliant col-
ors for tying make attractive all sorts
of gifts and the combination can be
chosen from colors that clash slightly.
