FOY TREE TABLE DECORATION
Miniature Christmas Emblem May Be
Surrounded With Presents Tied
With Red Ribbon.
* \
ECOItATE the table with a
Christinas tree, one of the
toy ones, and pile around Its
foot a quantity of presents
tied with red ribbons.
These should be only what a college
man would call “grinds”—perhaps a
tiny tin piano for a would-be perform
er, a lantern for the one the points of
whose Jokes are difficult to see, a
placid paper golf bag for the enthusi
astic player, and so on, each with a
rhyme or quotation, says Harper’s
Bazar. If one considers a goose a
somewhat undignified bird, ducks may
be exchanged for it, either the domes
tic fowl or the more expensive canvas
back or redhead. Fried celery Is very
good with duck, the crispest pieces
dropped in bhtter and then cooked In
deep fat. But the apple sauce cro
quettes should not be omitted even
with this. For this Informal dinner
there is a very good and Innoemms
drink to serve with the heavy course—
sweet cider, spiced and sugared to
taste, cooked ten minutes and served
hot.
YULETIDE THORN TREE SAVED
Blooming Glastonbury, Subject of
Beautiful Legends of Christmas,
Was Doomed to Destruction.

A
OVE of the most beautiful legends
of Christmas Is that of the Glas
tonbury thorn. The thorn tree grew
at Glastonbury Abbey, In Somerset
shire, and was supposed to have de
veloped from (be staff of Joseph of
Arimathea. According to the legend,
Joseph came to Glastonbury and while
be was resting on a hill, afterward
known ns Weary All hill. <e stuck his
staff In the earth. The staff Immedi
ntely grew green and budded, and at
Christmas time It blossomed Into
beautiful flowers.
One chronicler states that during
Queen Elizabeth's reign the thorn had
a double trunk, but that a somewhat
bigoted Puritan, who disliked tire ree
because to his mind It smacked of
popery, started to cut it down, and
succeeded In demolishing one of the
trunk.-. A miracle rescued the re
malning trunk of the tree by causing
a chip of wood to fly up and hit the
Puritan in the c: ■ while at the same
time he slipped and cut his leg.
Later the tree was grubbed up, but
a number of smaller trees raised from
slips of the original are said to be
owned by persons to the neighbor
hood.

Our Ccmmerclallzed Chrletmas.
Christmas Is the decoration day of j
n commercial age. Then, os on no j
other day, we face with compassion j
those who have fallen In our battles I
for wealth. For a moment we think j
of the thousands of children who have ‘
no share In that easy ll{p we give our 1
children, and must find the season’s ,
Joy In the charity dinner. Along with
the barter to which we have debused
our giving within our circle of ac
quaintances, we play at extending the
spirit of the day to these who are
the pawns of our industrial game. The
Salvation army lass, standing cold and
numb on the street corner, collecting
funds for Christmas baskets for the
poor, reminds us of the wreckage left
In tho wake of our prosperity. We
give a trifle to help the poor temper
the bitterness of the year with a
couple of hours’ good eating.

or a pair of rub

thing like that
for Christmas.
Coffin-Shaped Pie Crusts.
Seld 'n, the antiquary, tells us that
Christinas pies were formerly baked fl
in n coffin shaped crust to represent 1
the cratch or manger in which our I
