Pictured at the top of-the drawing above is one that's easy to make with the help of a few Christmas trimmings fromyour local dime store. Choose a plastic ring planter and clip a string of Christmas tree bulbs to the inner edge, as shown at the right above. Place a snowman candle in the center and fill the planter with short twigs of pine or cedar. For a large, more formal cen terpiece, mase a box-like irania, and insert a string of Christmas tree lights, as shown on the lower left above. (Notice how holes drilled to size hold the sockets in position). Cover the top with wire and tuck in graceful branches which have been painted white and dusted with flitters. Lighting specialists recom mend that multiple type Christ mas strings in which each bulb burns independently be used for centerpieces. Union Mrs. Lr. G.
