over improve ments at the parsonage last paid of the re- any special effort- Our nearest store of size is some fifteen miles aid a crowd of little people in the house who are expecting to see a most wonderful tree Our gifts bad been bought during a visit to a Northern city and were laid aside awaiting the happy day We also bought a box of wax candles and some holders for then The prettiest are those with colored balls at the bottom hut in ease of emergency the candles can be wired to the twigs of the tree with very fine wire and will do nicely There were nearly on our before any of the presents went on They were nearly all home made and of the following- varieties First we cut out of rather stiff board some fivepointed stars little boots Maltese crosses butter flies shields arrows and horse shoes Several of each Kind were made a large bowl of boiled paste prepared and each was covered on both sides with colored paper most ly silver and gilt and some with blue The arrows shields and butterflies were voted the prettiest The latter were made flat one side covered with plain gilt paper the other with all kinds of brilliant col ors ami little round black spots pas ted on to look IPie nature the wings were then font up as if insects were flying fand with the prettiest sides out some were wired on to the branches others hung by threads of dark green which could not he scon and they looked as if poised in the air We next found a piece of broken lookingglass in the attic and had it cut up into many little pieces bound each one with lute siring ribbon pas- on and when dry each furnished with strings by which to hold them up They all the lights an made the effect very brilliant Cornucopias we were able to make very easily for we had a carpenter to prepare us a slender wooden core just the shape of one and it is very pleasant work to paste item toget her over this model a pretty embossed picture on each then slip off to dry The prettiest of all trinkets made as follows

aside till dry Then each was gilded with liquid gilding These little rattle- boxes arc lovely an1 everybody will want one A lot of tiny rosecheeked apples were polished up and furnished also some red balls from a plant called the Solanum which grows wild they look very much like small round tomatoes these festoons of strung cran berries look very pretty Owls were made out of peanuts by putting in two black pins for eyes the pins protecting below the- feet so they could be stuck the branches Perhaps you could succeed with pop corn balls better than I did ours would stick together and we were much disappointed We had some lit tle tiny Japanese parasols among our and some small pictures and there were also fastened on to this remarkable tree some little bits of flags you can get quite a
