CHURCH DECORATIONS
Wow the XJext IDfTcctn Can Be Secured
With ChriNtmnM GrcciiH
Putins uud other potted plants are
usually used in the Christmas decora
tion of the church but u much liner
effect can be secured by grouping these
lit points away from the altar and dec
orating that with vines or evergreens
says a writer in the St Louis Globe
Democrat If holly is procurable it
can be massed about the altar and ar
ranged along the chancel rail in a
carelessly artistic way and be made
much more effective than any potted
plants as the latter always have a
more or less formal air about them
in spite of all efforts to avoid it If
you have tall palms place them in the
background
If both holly and evergreens and
flowering plants are used do not com
bine them hot keep the flowers to one
side The two do not harmonize One
kills the other to make use of the
term which artists use to express In
harmonious combinations of colors In
this case it is not so much a clash of
color as it is of individuality Holly
berries and leaves require nothing in
the shape of flowers to bring out their
beauty but show to the best advan
tage by themselves or when used with
evergreens In wreathing the chan
cel rails fasten the sprays to a rope
or cord with fine wire or string and
do not attempt any regularity in size
or shape of festoons when you come
to put the wreathing in place Aim
to produce an unstudied effect
A charming effect is produced by
sprinkling the leaves of holly or ever
green with mucilage and sifting pow
dered mica over This will glisten in
the eveninglike frost If the supply
of holly berries is limited crystallized
grasses can be worked in effectively
There are varieties of shrubs grow
ing in swampy places which bear scar
let fruit for the holly If holly leaves
are not procurable go to the florist
or some person having a private green
house or conservatory and borrow an
old plant of English ivy Throw the
vines over the altar letting the ends
of the branches trail on the floor at
sides and front
Among the dark green foliage which
should be washed before using to bring
out its glossy beauty fasten the ber
ries gathered in the swamp and use
grasses among them if you choose
Some of the berries can be dipped In
mucilage and dusted with mica and
combined with the scarlet clusters The
frosty white and glowing scarlet har
monize well and contrast strongly and
heighten the effect of each other
The delicate mosses that are found
in pine forests can be made effective
In church decorations provided they
are properly prepared Wound on cord
or wire in such a way that the lengths
are not too thick and heavy there is
nothing more suitable for festoon ef
fects
How to Arranse the Christinas Menu
It is possible to preserve all or most
of the Christmas traditions without
serving a prostrating menu Avoid
having too many things to eat with the
turkey or the roast pig Certain vege
tables belong to each but there is no
use In having them all Have only
one heavy dessert plum pudding or
mince pie with the ice cream Have a
light salad course and a light soup
leaving room for the substantials with
out danger of indigestion
How to Give a Novel Dance
Some merry girls gave an entertain
ment last Christmas which was unique
The invitations were for a Christmas
dance and all were asked to come in
costumes representing fruits and veg
etables The rooms were decorated as
for a barn dance the mantels and cor
ners banked with celery cranberries
holly and bunches of yellow maize
made from crape paper When the
guests arrived the rooms looked like
an animated kitchen garden says the
Ladies Home Journal One girl was
lovely in pale green cheesecloth abun
dantly trimmed with celery leaves An
other was a veritable Ceres in corn col
or and masses of wheat and poppies
The men wore enormous boutonnieres
of celery tops carrots and parsley
Their grotesque appearance seemed to
inspire a certain humorous contagion
to their spirits and the affair was uni
versally conceded to have been a great
success
How to Mnlce Plnra Pudding Sauce
A sauce without brandy is made as
follows One tablespoonful of corn
starch one tablespoonful of butter one
pint of boiling water one egg one half
cup of sugar Put cornstarch egg and
sugar in a bowl and mix them well
Pour over them the boiling water and
stir over the fire until thick Add any
flavoring
Hoiv to Play Snnpdrnpron
Snapdragon is a Christmas game
handed down from time immemorial
A broad shallow bowl has a quantity
of raisins in the bottom and over these
alcohol or brandy is poured and ignit
ed The dish is then passed every
body in turn trying to take a raisin
from the flames It requires rapidity
of movement and a certain amount of
courage to perform tins feat the entire
company meanwhile singing the an
cient song
Here he comes with flowing bowl
Dont he mean to take his toll

How to Malic Mutton Tnllow
For family use buy the fat nearest
the kidneys cut it up in inch squares
