Elgin street west, on the occasion of their 25th wedding anniversary, Saturday evening. Mrs. Carmichael is the former! Dorothy M. Rockeliffe, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Rock- cliffe, West Houses, Derbyshire, England. Mr, Carmichael is the son of Mr, Charles Carmichael, Derby, England, and the late Mrs. Carmichael. They were married December 14, 1939 and came to Canada, settling in Osh- awa' in August, 1957, with their two children, Janet and Richard.

Decorate Hearth and Mantel With All The Magic of Christmas TRADITIONAL place to start your home Christmas decorat- ing ds at the hearth, an activity centre where friends gather around to enjoy blazing logs. Christmas stockings are hung here to accommodate Santa when he makes his customsry Christmas Eve stop, The mantel of a traditional o~ contemporary fireplace, a wall circular clock or sconces above the fireplace and brass hoods and other fireplace coal containers, all offer good op- portunities for original deco- rations. FLORAL SANTA FACE For the mantel, a a charming and new idea/is a Santa face made of carna- tions nd chrysanthemums, Use ted and white carnations for the cap, peppermint carnations for the face and three big white football chrysanthemums for the beard, embedding the flowers in florists foam. Two small red Christmas balls make the eyes, Bend white pipe clean- Another idea for the mantel is an arrangement of brilliant red carnations with a pair of gaily decorated miniature rein- deer against a background of spruce and aborvitae; or a holly arrangement around the base of candelabrum with red candles, SPECIAL TREATMENTS Place a circular wreath of greens and cones around a round fireplace wall clock, or a rectangular wreath around an upright wall clock, and armfuls of Christmas greens in large coal or wood contain- ers on the hearth. You also can dress up a green house plant near the hearth with glitter balls, Just poke slim cane sticks into the earth at the plant's base, and attach the balls to the top. A modern fireplace wall with- out a mantel calls for special treatment. Try suspending a huge branch of manzanita, or driftwood, from a ceiling mold- ing with nearly invisible piano pine branches, If your house doesn't have a fireplace you can decorate, just as well, a suitable wall, containing a clock, sconces, above. a chest, brows and use two red pipe cleaners for the mouth. Place in a plain bowl and add sprays 'sofa or buffet.
