An occasional change from the gld familiar design will do much to brighten up the room. | One novel arrangement is to imi- él"tale the snow-draped trees of the “rarest as closely as possible. Trim £% | the tree all in white with popcorn = | necklaces, tissue paper snow balls, white glass ornaments and frosted white lights. The effectiveness of this color will be increased if green | wreaths with red berries are used ' about the room. A graceful pine tree trimmed lav- ishly all in gold ornaments has a !fine formal grandeur about it and is particularly distinguished in certain {rooms. In contrast to this a tree trimmed entirely with red and white e . lights and red and white striped candy canes is very young and in- ‘formal in heart k> | Christmas wrapping paper help to Bi<fir’ a big tree inexpensively if | glass balls and other ornaments are 4% | lacking. *Jw | local interest by hanging articles #R | found in the vicinity, such as un- |'usual sea shells, or huge pine cones, & or. curious burrs and pods which | are gilded to improve their appear- rance w| Miniature trees are attractive, BN | too, especially when they're span- | gled with beads and shiny jewelry i | from the five and ten, . i iGai]y Wrapped % Gifts Promote Christmas Spirit b | | Festive wrappings make the dif- ference between a gift for Christ- mas and something that might turn up at any time of the year. They i% | the spirit of Christmas giving and the extra measure of good cheer. R | ute to buy their presents find it best g to depend upon bright and gay wrap- & ping papers and glittering ribbon. If the patterns of these papers are R selected thoughtfully, something in- dividual can be found for each gift. Others who obtain their presents a little in advance of Christmas will PR have time to wrap each gift as a R personal greeting in itself. There i are a number of ways to give each gift wrapping a different personal- | ity. ! DEMURE—A square box wrapped | in pink foil paper with a round lace BN | paper doilie pasted on the top, and | in the center of the doilie a bouquet of flow stickers. % YOUNG—For a big box wrap in heavy white paper, then cut out green paper in Christmas tree shape and trim it lavishly with Christmas seals. SPANGLED—Wrap a square box in blue foil° paper and spangle it all over with silver stars. FROSTY—Shiny green wrapping paper spattered with white paper snowflakes will have a wintry glit- ter. M | JOLLY—For the young fry, a gift | of handkerchiefs is made doubly in- | teresting if they’re rolled up and tied around the middle with white yarn arms, a little broom and a ihlack cardboard hat—to look like a i | snow-man. 8| RIPE—Wrap in white paper, tied with green ribbon and, instead of a ‘bow, a bunch of bright cherries from the five-and-ten. JIVOLOUS—Wrap the package in green foil paper, tie with white satin ribbon and a “bouquet” of small white plumes. MUSICAL — Wrap with brilliant blue foil paper, tie with silver rib- bon. with a cascade of little jingle bells instead of a bow. A GARDENER’S GIFT—Wrap in flowered paper, tie with green rib- bon and add a ‘“‘bouquet” made of miniature gardening tools. 3 B " PRETTY COSTUME KEEPS UP ]Phundelphln uninterruptedly for over 50 years.
