Have you no time to shop for that distant cousin who sud- denly sent yOtt an unexpected gift, or the baby-sitter, a holiday hostess, a shut-in or the unex- pected arrival? Make it yourself quickly with candy, and brighten it with a package you can make or buy anywhere and which can be used long after the candy has dis- appeared. For instance, fill a brandy Snifter with individually wrapped stuffed dates. Wrap the dates in pretty colored cellophane, now available at almost any store. Baskets abound everywhere in all shapes, sizes and shades. Fill a basket with Mocha-Nut Logs, tie a ribbon on the handle and watch the shut-in's eyes light up with pleasure. For the strictly practical on your list, give your candies in refrigerator dishes or contain- ers for the freezer. The gour- mets would delight in receiving theirs in a casserole dish. The gift is the candy and the fact that you made it. Wrapped in a cardboard box or antique tea caddy the pleasure it gives you and the receiver will last well after Christmas.

Poinsettia, a traditional Christmas plant, thrives best in a well-lighted location and a temperature of about 65 de- grees F. The flowers of this plant are inconspicuous, but a colorful show is provided by the large scarlet bracts. The red variety is the most popular, however, there are also white and pink varieties. To prevent yellowing and dropping of the bottom leaves, horticulturists with the Ontario Department of Agriculture have the following tips: The poinsettia should be kept out of cold draughts. Place the plant in a window where it will receive as much sun as possible. In addition it should not be allowed to dry out. Plants may be carried over to the next year. After "flower- ing" rest the plants in a cool location for 8 to 10 weeks and let the soil dry out. How- ever, do not let the stems be- come so dry that the bark shrivels. After the rest period cut the plants back part way, place in a larger pot and supply water. They should then be exposed Christmas tree Victorian style Legend attributes the custom of the Christmas Tree to Martin Luther who, as he was returning home one cold Christmas Eve, observed that the thousands of stars in the clear sky seemed to be hanging to the branches of the pines by the wayside. Wishing to share the spectacle withhis fam- ily, he cut the first Christmas Tree and that night decked it with star-bright candles for his loved ones. We are told the idea of the Christmas Tree gradually spread to most countries of Northern Europe and then in 1841, Albert, Queen Victoria's husband, de- lighted the young Queen with the first Christmas Tree in Windsor Castle. By that time, ornaments had been added to the tree's de- coration the result of a legend that on the night of the Nativity all trees burst forth with fruit and flowers in memory of the birth of Christ. To many, a Christmas Tree de- corated in the Victorian style of this design still symbolizes the true spirit of the Yuletide. Contributed by Mrs. Hugh Mc- Murtrie, Hensall. to good light and a tempera- ture of 65 degrees F. to 70 degrees F. These plants can then be grown on for next Christmas. By MRS.
