No Santa?
We have all heard at different times "there is no
Santa Claus!' Santy comes to us at Christmas
in spirit if not in person. How else could there be
so much merriment, so much love, and so much
unselfishness. It is the spirit of Santa. We
definitely have a Santy.
Before pulling out the old box
of ornaments used for trimming the
Christmas tree for the past several
years, it Is a good idea to plan some
other decoration which will make
the tree different than it ever was
before. An occasional change from
the old familiar design will do much
to brighten up the room.
One novel arrangement is to imi-
tate the snow-draped trees of the
forest 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
lights and red and white striped
candy canes is very young and in-
formal in heart.
Little pleated paper fans made of
Christmas wrapping paper help to
"fill" a big tree inexpensively if
glass balls and other ornaments are
lacking. It is also interesting to add
local interest by hanging articles
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.
Miniature trees are attractive,
too, especially when they're span-
gled with beads and shiny jewelry
from the Ave and ten.

I greet you. We Appreciate our customers

Gaily Wrapped
Gifts Promote
Christmas Spirit
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
express the glamour of the season,
the spirit of Christmas giving and
the extra measure of good cheer.
Those who wait till the last min-
ute to buy their presents find it best
to depend upon bright and gay wrap-
ping papers and glittering ribbon.
If the patterns of these papers are
selected thoughtfully, something in-
dividual can be found for each gift.
Others who obtain their presents
a little in advance of Christmas will
have time to wrap each gift as a
personal greeting in itself. There
are a number of ways to give each
gift wrapping a different personal-
ity.
DEMURE—A square box %vrapped
in pink foil paper with a round lace
paper doilie pasted on the top, and
in the center of the doilie a bouquet
of flower 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.
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
black cardboard hat—to look like a
snow-man.
RIPE—Wrap in white paper, tied
with green ribbon and, instead of a
bow, a bunch of bright cherries from
the flve-and-ten.
FRIVOLOUS—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 witn 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" mode n?
