Party ideas which have appealed most to us this season include: Christmas entertaining will have a shimmering elegance about it, maybe as a reaction from the gloomy outlook of the world at large., It will be a goid and silver Christmas â€"with all the old bright mixed colors for acent. There will be spun glass and cellophane and all the glitter we can muster. Yet for all of that, it will be a year for garlands and boughs of evergreens, maybe because in this time of uncerâ€" tainty we cling to the charm 6f its real and simple beauty. If you‘ve made up your mind that Christmas is too much trouble, then by all means just sit back and let other people go to all the bother. . and have all the fun. Nobody will care if you don‘t do anything about Christmasâ€" nobody but vourself. But most of us wouldn‘t miss the old dear gaiety of Christmas and so we mean to flutter and bustle and bake and make garâ€" lands and go to a lot of other utterly unnecessary work. And we‘ll want lots of parties and company and excitement and relations. Plumbing ar 71 Third Ave Smith Elston Take it easy.
