Or just the family? In any event 'l want a Christmasy look- ing table and it can be accomplished easily and inexpensively. Here are three suggestions: A large bowl, preferably of wood and filled with shining fruits (a bunch of grapes on top) gives a festive air. You can lay a wreath of holly about the bowl and use tall, slender candles grouped about it. Lace runners or doilies that reveal the gleaming table top complete this informal picture, For an all-white table, use a white tabe cloth for your background and a miniature Christmas tree in the center. For ends of the table, white tapers in candelabra are excellent, and around their bases use simulat- ed snow, cotton sprinkled with tin- sel. Flowers, while more expensive, make a beautiful table. An arrange- ment of pompon chrysanthemums and red roses in a low bowl, bedded by sprays of long-needle pine and frosted with cones is particularly attractive. A bit of holly gives it a definite Christmas air. The en- tire arrangement needs few more than a dozen flowers. Such an ar- rangement should be kept low so it will not hide the folks s the table. For a long takle, make the | arrangement long; for a round table, | make it round. CLOTHES that are CLEANED _ OFTEN—Wear Longer!
