not be simply strung around the
tree, weighing on the tips of its
branches, so that they seem to fet-1
ter it. If they wind branches, as
a vine might, they seem to belong
in the tree.
Toys may have their place on
the tree itself, if they are decora-
tive. An amusing doll perched on
a limb, a bright-colored horn gleam-
ing in the shadows, a rubber ball
suspended high in the branches,
will delight the children.
The grown-up who trims a
Christmas tree has a chance for
once in the year to be an artist—
with the most appreciative public
in the world. The children on
Christmas morning will recognize
his work as a masterpiece if be
only remembers two rules: First '
the tree’s the thing; it must bat
treated as a unit and every bit of•
decoration must further the total
effect. Second, don't overload it;
if it is not smothered with trim-
ming. the tree Itself is the very
best part of the decoration.

a J
BO
HE decorated tree, around
I which our Christmas
holiday centers, has an
origin older than Chris-
tianity itself. In an-
cient days trees were
ZMK held sacred to various
good and evil spirits
and offerings to the
were hung upon the branches. To
the Teutons the fir tree, with its
symmetrical spreading branches,
was a symbol of the sun and they
celebrated the winter season by
decking it in tinsel, flowers, toys
and other ornaments.
Christian use of the tree symbol
probably begat in Germany, but
:here are many stories of the first
L’hristmas tree. One is that Mar-
lin Luther, walking under the stars I
>ne Christmas Eve, was moved by ■
their wonder as a revelation of the ;
aearness of God to man. When he'
■eached home, he took a little fir
:ree and put lighted candles on its
tranches to explain his thought to
:he children.
With age-old traditions behind it,
it is fitting that the typical Christ-
mas tree in these days is decorated
purely for the sake of Its own
beauty. Small and graceful, it!
aften stands on the library table, i
gifts heaped around its base, or in j
miniature form graces the dining:
table, the center of cheer until I
New Year’s. If it is to shine in!
the memories of children through
years to come, its ornaments must I
be bring with as much thought as i
ever the old Teutons gave to the
placing of their sun-festival gifts.
The secret of decorating a tree ef-
fectively Is to make Its decorations
look as if they grew there. One
secret ol that is to place the orna-
ments at the points of growth.
where the limbs branch anC where
the twigs leave the branches; the
other is to place ornaments that
look heavy where the tree looks
strongest, well back on the
branches and toward the lower
part of the tree.
It is a good thing to lay out the
materi Is for decoration with those
of like shape and color together
and to handle one kind of decora-
tions at a time. In this way it is ‘
easy to distribute masses of trim-
ming and spots of color evenly
and to see that the different kinds
are well Intermingled. It is a
common mistake to place most of
the ornaments on the tip ends o
, the branches, under the impres-
sion that they will show up best
there. As a matter of fact, a few-
ornaments well placed on the body
of the tree are more effective than
if they are scattered on the outer:
circumference.
The remainder of lights reflected
from various ornaments should
also be considered; those with
glassy surfaces shine with a dif-
ferent glow from that of tinsel, and
apples, oranges and cornucopias of
candy must not be expected to
counterbalance brighter surfaces.
So distribute the decorations hav-
ing a different kind of surface.
The glassy ornaments will relieve
the dark masses of the tree if
they are hung well back in it, but
dull-surfaced objects, if not loo
large, should be hung in nearer
view. A good place for fruits,
which are heavy but too dull to
show in the body of the tree unless
there is a break in the foliage, is
on the sturdy lower limbs.
The small electric lights which
have superseded candles for the
Christmas tree should be arranged
in orderly gradation from the low-
er limbs to the top. A pretty ef-
fect is produced if tiny white bulbs
are substituted for the vari-colored
ones that usually make up these cir-
cuits and each light enclosed iu a
small paper cone of soft yellow or
orange. These cones projecting
downward give much the same im-
pression as the vertical effect of
candles.
Chains of tinsel and colored pa-
per are effective decorations if
they are used rightly. They should
