The older ones were tired of the conventional Christmas tree, but net to have ono would disappoint the little folks, for nothing ever tried equals a tree, to their way of thinlc- ing. Many plans and things were talked over by a curtain Sunday - school cellon ttee. These were all old, "Why can't we have something new 7" and the speaker suggested a garden. "Instead of one large tree, have several small ones." This sug- gestion was voted on and accepted, and when the proper time came, was carried out in the following manner : An ante -room at the vestry had folding doors that would open, con- necting with the 'main room: This was chosen for the garden site. In it were set, with a gardener's taste, live trees, five feet tall. These were coated with alum to represent frost work, and trimmed with paper flow- ers, gilt and other ornaments. Tho small gifts hung on the branches. At their trunks lay the heavy paek-1 ages. About the garden was a hedge' of laurel with wild, everlasting flow -1 ers, dyed various Filers, tied to the, branches, In the windows and about the garden' were vegetables, placed, for artistic effeet. All the rooms! were festooned with evergreen, flow-! ers, bittersweet, corn and fruits In' the garden were a"little boy and gird dressed in costume, who served, with another pair, as carriers, taking the presents, as Santa Claus called the; 'names, to their owners. Before the, presents were given, a literary and musleal program was carried out by ,the children and young people. -;y City Chap (angrily) - "Look herel You warranted this horse to me to bo entirely without faults, anti now 7 fled' that he is stone blind!" Country Chap '(cheerfully) "IVa -ail, blindness ain't a fault; it's an aff lotion.'' CHRISTMAS CANDIES, .For the morn fancy candies there are two ways of making the cream that is the foundation of all the varieties; one, uncooked, by using eggs; the other by boiling the sugar. The latter is the best for candies that are to be kept several days. Foundation for Candy -No. 1 : Separate the •whites of 2 eggs from the yolks,measure them and add the same amount of water. Stir in en- ough powdered' sugar to make a paste still enough to mold into forms. 1 Foundation for Candy -No, 2 : Put :into a saucepan twice as much Igranulated sugar as water, say 2 imps water and 4 of sugar. When the 1sugar is about dissolved set the pan on the stove and heat slowly. Do not stir the mixture while it is cook- ing. Ten minutes after the sugar ;begins to boil, try a little by drop - i ping 'it into cold a. or. It it will roll into a soft ball without sticking Ito the fingers, it is cooked enough. :Take from the stove and set to cool. Test It frequently, and as soon as the finger can be put. in it corn- ' fortably, commence beating it with a wooden spoon, and continuo until tt is white and stiff. Take out the spoon anti knead with the hand un - I til it is smooth and soft. If it be- comes too, hard at any time, add a few drops of hot water. Chocolate Creams -Melt several sticks of chocolate by breaking into bits, and putting them into a bowl, end set over a kettle of boiling we- t r ater. While the 'chocolate is melting make a cream frim recipe No. 1 and from it mold a number of thimble - shaped pieces about an inch long. Set them on s, buttered pan to dry for an hour. Then, using a wooden toothpick to hold them on, dip each piece into the, melted chocolate until thoroughly coated. Put them on the platter again until the chocolate hardens. Nut Candy -Make a creambyusing recipe No. 2, and from it mold a number of little balls. klavo' ready a number of English walnuts. Put the half of a nut on each side of a ball, pressing them firmly in place. Roll in powdered sugar. Another delicious nut candy is made by chopping any kind of nuts line and working them through the cream. This is molded square, and cut into slires an inch thick. Fig and Date Candies -These can- dies are made alined like nttt candy, The figs are torn in two, and the Cream made by Dither recipe is in- serted. The dates have tho seeds removed, and their place is filled with cream. Chopped figs, dates .and. citron can be used exactly like the chopped huts tend are thought to be more delicate by nuiny people. u :) Tsgeaereeetieres- WHAT HE WANTS A SIMPLE, MERRY CITRISTMAS. ft was on Christmas eve and our folks had decided not to have our annual gathering, but as the time grew near, I began -to feel that we ought to have some celebration, writes a farmer's wife, "Well," I f stuff to Jacob, "I believe wo ought b to go to town and lay: In a Few Obristtnas joys," So we went, and 1 purchased a few toys, books, lit- tle ,uselul articles and some foolish things with which to ]flay jokes, be - Shine nut§ • nil candy, I got ' pink netting n o and made little boots with needle and red 'yarn to hold the children's Goody, nuts and popcorn. T had taken in see ,til nice yellow rolls of butter, but I slid not say what I bought with the butter money to- Jacob. 'When u'o returned T made a small Christmas tree and drew rho sofa across tho corner to front of It. As 1 stood cooking and thinking if only. our Hoar rolattvea and neighbors would comp Jacob remarked: "Aro you loekingsfor the boys and their folks over? "We never'know who may come;" I replieit, "and any- way, the weather is se cold that cooking will keep well. Slut still I think ono ought to celebrate" Af- ter dinner I called my yougeet boy (a11: we have at home) . and, said, How would you like a horsdttaak tido, with a message for all bur feillis -brothers and their families, aunts, uncles, and cousins, to come over , early to -morrow and eat supper, and I for each to bring something for the' table?" Well, they came and that early; it seemed as if the message was all that was needed. We were ready and had soon set before them the usual Christmas fare, which abounds) in good things. The supper over and tho kitchen tidied, we distribut- ed our presents to all, and T pro- duced my "jokers" to jollify the oc- casion. I then turned to our com- pany and said: "If Jacob don't care, we will have the boys set the dining table and chairs out on the porch, so as to make room for an old-fashionedgame of blind -man's buff, and all will play, from six to 50 years old" (that included all). They all consented, even to Jacob, Well, of all the laughing we had it that night. You should have heard the children laugh and clap their hands to see their mamma run and their papa, sit close up in the con- Wer. We would first have two men. 'blindfolded and the first caught was • the next biindman; if it was a lady, we choso another lady. About 11 o'clock we adjourned, and all expressed themselves as hav- ing had, a good time. Our neighbor B .said ho enjoyed himself the best he ever did in his life, not excepting whoa he was a young man. So, you see, we ,was celebrate. TT r7 CHRISTMAS TREE. • There is so much joy and delight to the children in a Christmas tree that it amply repays the trouble of preparation. It is a great addition to the children's pleasure to let them help make it ready. They can string popcorn and cranberries, polish the apples, make the cornucopias for candy and cut the paper for long festoons, and enjoy the work. Long strings of white and dark red tissue paper, gummed to make strings long enough for festoons, folded once and cut nearly across from each side in alternate -slits, opens into a graceful openwork trftn- ming. Made of tinfoil this is won- derfully pretty on the tree, but this material must bo handled carefully'. and not laid down after it is stretch- ed open. Pretty festoons aro also made by interlacing rings of gold or silver paper. Strings of nuts and raisins are ornamental as well as toothsome. With needle and coarse thread string peanuts and raisins a1- ternately, or popcorn and raisins. Another form of decoration is to wrap peanuts in fringed squares of gay tissue papers and do thorn to gilt cord or colored string by loop- ing the cord around them with one knot They look pretty. Gat some English walnuts and split them. Take out the meats, which will do for the Christmas candy or cake. Write' a "fortune" for each nut on a little slip' of pa- per and glue the shells together again, with tho "fortune" inside. Work a tackinto the stent cid after the glue is perfectly dry; this will serve to suspend it from the tree, then gild the nuts all over and hang rom the boughs with narrow rib - on. Popcorn balls aro pretty on a tree, aril those and a little homemade candy evill help out inthe decora- tioiind ' dressiri of a little tree. a g When everything is in readiness the chilclr'en can be excluded' while the tree is dressed and the presents put on, and it will, be just as beautiful and wonderful to therm es if they had not helped get ready for it. 0 CURIS7.i'ISAS MORNING. On Christmas morning, dark or white, Tho borne is happy, eyes are bright, Faces merry, voices gay, Speak Lore's blessing on the day, On Christmas morning, be it spent Where tints of brightest June are Mont Tropic fashion; tempest tossed; Raiit bejeweled geinnied with frost.

Scarcely have the di- gestive organs, so sadly overturned in menv cases, not 80 much with the quanttty,es with the quality of the Oh'ristinas viands, been restored by medical aid to their normal con- dition, ere thoughts are turned to the next Christmas. Forthwith many have teen known to etart point lace handkerchiefs, or centerpieces, and a great variety of fancy work in pre- paration for re-parationfor the next Christmas.. Others not so far-seeing male no well thoughtful provision, and leave the question of > presents; until they realize that Chnistmas le but a week or more away. How often one hears "Wh'itever will 1 get Dad 7" "I wonder what Jack would. like 7" "What'll I sent to So -and -So 7" Some of these expressions are utter- ed In the deepest despair. Quite fro- quenily the family take counsel, starting off when "dart" le, out, and when a decision has been reached, "dad" is called in and ":eater" ie innocently away calling or shop- ping. Thus everyone knows what the other is going to get, but is left In sublime igroraneo as to his or her own presents. This plan works well in most casoe, but oc- casionally a younger member of the Arab conspiracy reveals the - great se get or tauntingly says, "Ole, I know what you're goin' to get." "Now, you rnustn't tell -it you - da know 1" chimes in somebody. Besides, there are people who write down a list of all the presents they would like to have given lhemn + on Christmas. Persons desirous of malting presentations can pick out of this list a certain present and he sure of striking something the re- cipient o-cipient will like. WHAT TO CHOOSE. Yet again are those who have not the remotest idea what presents to buy or get, and it is for those un- fortunates, to save them possibly many a weary hour of brain worry, that the following suggestion are given.

If you will have a turkey -cock ,your festal -board to grace, Whose advent you can calmly 7vait with smooth, unruffled face, Safe in the knowledge that 'its life has early been cut short, Be wise in time and note those points before tho bird is bought.

To Test the Heat of the Oven; - Take a sheet of white paper and place it in tho oven. If too hot the paper will quickly blacken or burn up ; if it is a delicate brown the oven is fit for pastry ; should the paper turn dark yellow, cakes may be baked ; and if only light yellow, sponge cakes and biscuits may bo put in.

But there is always the fear of lamp -chimneys and Crystal cracking with any cora heat, le you follow those directions, however, there will be bright lamps and sparkling crystal without fear of tracking'.
