That's the tradition of Christmas and one that yoy, will wish to follow. If you plan to have a tree—and no Christmas is complet without one—you-should order it sveral days or weeks in advance to be certain that you get one that is perfectly shaped. And even though you haven't room for a big tree all means order one of the small ones. Y can .get it up on a table and place your gifts around it and it will give the house that sweet-piney frag- rance i parably associated with the holidays and lend its color and charm to the gala scene. # Loose holly is lovely and you can arrange it in copper bowls or pitch- ers, and placed in water it will keep its glossy freshhess for a lonz time. Place a wreath in the win- dows and on the outside of the door. If you prefer you may buy scar- let wreaths of everlasti: flowers— some of these have a light attached at the base and they are bright and gay. If you are giving a dinner party Christmas Eve or on the holiday itself try using a long branch from the Christmas tree as a dec- oration for the center of the table. Trim it with bright ornaments—just as you would the tree—it gives 2 lovely effect and is simple to arrange. A pot of brilliant red poinsettias or cyclamen will be fresh and lovely and a charming contrast. e e TS . 1A Ot CITY CAFE FAMOUS FOR CHINESE DISHES 'FROM ALL OF US TO ALL OF YOU Our Friends and Our Cutsomers, whom we serve over the counter and greet on the street goes a sincre wish for A MERRY, MERRY CHRISTMAS and a BRIGHT, Garnick'’s PHONE 174 LONEPLLRCTTVRVVERINVVODVOVVCECCCCREN § P v w— CRIPPLED BOY PLAYS SANTA CLAUS TO GIRL Nina had gone with her Donald to Chicago; Vera to her Granny’s house {0 meet her fiance and Dora, who had gone up to Lowell for Bob's fra~ ternity dance. Joan wondered if any {girl had ever had such a lonely | Christmas holiday in prospect. “Gee, there's that little cripple boy down there in that rooming house on the corner that might relish some nice food. I've waved at him every morning for the last six weeks. I guess ‘we know each other well enough and they do say his mother takes that early bus into town te scrub floors, every day in the week," she told herself as she was about to drop off to sleep, Christmas eve. It was scarcely daylight when Joan. had gone to the little corner rooming house, slipped a little note of invi- tation under the door of the cnpplq boy’s door, and was on her way to b HAROLD the store for a .xupply of everything that belongs in a traditional Christ- | ‘mas feast, plus a few gifts for the dad. » There was barely time to exchange her house dress for a street frock so she might run down to the corner to ‘push the youngster's wheel chair to | she had promised. But | her house at the very moment she stepped forth into the hall, she met not only her uest-to-be but a splendid handsome | joung man. “You see, miss, I got the invitation | —the note was tucked under my door, but I gathered at once who you meant it for so I delivered it to Jim- my and made friends with him— we've been together the past two| hours, taking a short ride and nnw; I'm turning him over to you, Miss Miss—' “Joan Burke, and you are— “Larry King, Miss Burke, and this $ Jimmy Jordan.
