No matter how simple the Christ-

should be made to give it a holiday

be made by arranging evergreens,

things from the woods or the fields,
in a low basket or in a pie plate, filled
with moss.
Cover the table with a nicely laun-
dered table -cloth laid over a silence
eloth and, at each place or "cover," as
it is called, arrange •the necessary
china, glass, silver and the napkin. At
an inforrnalndinner the large plate is
not placed at the cover until the per-
