The happiest dinner of all the year
Is that In which nil the member* of a
family Join on Christmas day. I'rep
arations for this Joyou* feu*! are go
Ing on two oi llll'ee Weeks before
<'hrlHinias day, or even for a loiiuer
time. There Is a lot of fun In mak-
ing them, especially when all the
family Is Interested and every member
of It takes some par! in the work.
In addition to the usual Christmas
greens the pine and holly mi dearly
loved ami always used as a back-
ground for other things, some new and
unexpected decorations add to the In-
terest of Christmas celebrations. For
the dinner table, the sideboard, ihe
Christmas tree, serving tables and
mantels some things are to be newly
made each year, adding the spice of
variety to the churn of old ilim favo-
rites. Among these are centerpieces
for the Christinas table. To replace
the miniature Christmas tree or the
decorative Christmas cuke which
have done long and valiant service as
centerpieces, there lire a number of
new things that are easy to make ami
cost next to nothing, which have been
brought out lately. Among them
"Christmas pies" are featured. They
are boxes of some sort that simulate
a house, a chimney, a figure of Santa
chili*. ,i sleigh or any iveeptacle that
will hold small pa"knges. and they are
filled with little gifts, usually ihlngs
that provoke a laugh, that are to be
distributed before or after dinner to
the people seated at the table.
A centerpiece made of cardboard,
cotton, powdered mica and crepe pa-
per Is shewn in the picture above. A
very heavy cardboard is used for the
foundation and ihis Is about thirty
Inchc* squa> A box twelve Indie-
m111.1re will serve for the house, and
It is either covered with red paper or
painted red. with windows and dooi
sketched on. In the printed papc-
pictures of house- inlglir help out h
making the house. When the box ha-
been glued or tacked to the found,a

wound to moderately heavy wire,

the short and long branches of the
trees are simulated.
The next step i* the placing of cot
ton to simulate snow on the foumla
tinn board, on the roof of the house
on the trees and below the painted
i windows. It Is fastened down with
little dabs of mucilage. The roof of
the house can be lifted off when the
time conies and small package* thai
have been placed v thin distributed to
those about ilic table. Little llgure*
added to the scene help to make It at
tractive. Santa Clans and his rein
ile*r, cut from printed paper and
pasted against thin cardboard, are set
In the snowy scene pictured. Finally
powdered mica -"Santa''Inns snow"
Is sprinkled over the whole piece to
give li a frosty sparkle, and ihls fin
Ishes a fine centerpiece for the Christ
mas dinner table.
Nearly .ill these center pieces arc
made of a low pasteboard box -either
round or square—containing small
gifts and having a fiat lid. This is
covered with cotton or crepe paper
and a Simla Clans, chimney, or tiny
Christmas tree, is mounted on the lid.
A little "I'aitdcrine" cools, clennses
and makes the feverish, itchy scalp
soft and pliable; tlun this stimulating
ionic penetrates to the famished hair
roots, revitalising and invigorating ev-
ery hair in the bead, thus stopping the
hair falling out, getting thin, n raggly
or fading.
After a few application of "Dander*

particle of dandruff, besides every lialr

and thickness.

In order that the high cost of living!
may not fall like a blight upon the
Christmas tree, we must begin to con-
sider its decoration right now. Quite
a number of things are more expen-
sive than they used to be, and candy
Is among them, but there are plenty
of ornaments that cost next to noth-
ing, and homemade candles which
are better than others will partially
replace the confectioners' wares.
Some of the Inexpensive ornaments
that will adorn this year's i hristiaas
trees appear In two groups above. At
the lefi arc a few of the new and In-
expcmlvc celluloid toys that have
been produced in great variety and
abundance and can be bought tor leu
or fifteen cents each. They Include
very pretty little jointed doll*, all
kinds <d domestic and wild animals,
daeks, fishes and swans and very vivid
Ij colored horns. They are very light
and will float, so that the waterfowl,
the liny battleship* and tlshcs can be
floated In a basin of water. In the
group at tile left there are three cellu-
loid animals, besides a doll and a horn.
They are all nicely colored and the
doll Is large enough to dress easily
The horn Is a very vivid red. has a silk
cord and tassel and will delight the
small youngsters to whom noise Is inu
sic.
In the group at the right, Just a few
home-made ornaments are shown.
They Include a butterfly and a robin, j
with a plain horn of tin, having red
gauze ribbon wrapped about It and
tied It) howa at the ends. Also one of
those long candy snappers, wrapped In >
bright red paper. A face is painted on
It, with hair and whiskers Indicated
by cotton, I" look like Santa Claus.
The 'it,.rfly .* rut from crepe pa
per, which may be bought with many
hutterllies in various sizes and colors
painted on It. It |m then pasted against
a thin piece of cardboard or a heavy
writing paper that is cut out to con-
form to ii. and mounted on a short
wire. Ity brushing a very little mucil-
age on the wings (in line* or spots),
powdered mica sprinkled over them
wili give the glitter that Is cxpecfcd on
the Christinas tree. The birds are
made in the same way.
Mosipiito netting. In white and red,
makes line ornaments in Ihe form of
little mittens, stockings and bugs, that
hold mixtures of popcorn and candy
These are cut out and sewed with red
yarn along ihe sides. A drawstring of
yarn, run through the top, closes these
candy bags and serves to hang them
on the tree.
Tinsel, that I- bought by the yard
for the tree, will make sparkling sii-
ver stars The stars are cut from thin
cardboard and the tinsel sewed t<
tlietli. They will take Ihe place of
glass balls at less Cost Gold and sll
ver paper make the prettiest horns of
plenty, cut in small triangles that are
parted together at the longer sides
The open end can be finished with tin-
sel and the horn is hung to the tree
villi mi "row red ribbon, tinsel or plaii
red or green cord. Small balls of [ (.( -
corn, suspended on threads, help till In
wherever decorations look thin and,
being white, are sure to help set off
all the gav trinkets that make up the
glory of the Christmas tree.
