Tho Rev. Dr, MacArthur of tho Calvnry Baptist church of New York City hns tabooed the Christmas tree, partly because It comes to us from ttxe celobratlons of Tlior and Woden, but chiefly because cutting Christmas Cxees tends to denude our forests. Jin his Sunday sermon ho nsked: 'How carao wo to adopt this cus tom, which Is one of tho many taken from tho heathen? We are deforest ing many portions of our state and tswwtry. Wo ought to save tho trees tto yrovont floods and glvo the proper aimount of shnde. To do my sharo In fhe work I have forbidden the pur Jhnso of ovorgreen trees In this church for tho coming holidays." Again wo have Illustrated how differently tho same thing may tatrlko different peoplo. Producing Christinas trees has become a busi- bed from the United States depart ment of agriculture. Nothing is easier than to get ever greens of the Christmas variety. They are readily planted, grow rapidly and ln boundless profusion. The peoplo who are engaged ln the business of supplying the market are tho best tree planters wo have. They are making n business of it. To take away their market would be to re move ono of tho strongest incentives to timber culture. It is astonishing to what absurd notions men of real ability will glvo sanction. The suggestion that tree preservation means abandonment of the use of trees that tb maintain the ovorgreen we must abolish Christ mas greenery is nearly at tho limit. SOME XMAS RHYMES.

Coffee Percolators and dishes at the RED CROSS. chafing Xmas presents Try tho GUNNERY. At present the most time!y topic with a large number of people is Christmas gifts. If lavish expendi tures of money Is possible, all that is necessaiy Is to go shopping and the shops will do the rest, but when the dollars and cents are few and fai between, deft hands must supply the deficiency In making gifts which car ry their message of good will and af fection. There are countless things which may be made at home, and these need not by any means be confined to the fancy work articles. Gifts may bo conjured in the kitchens and from various home resources which will prove acceptable, provided they are appropriately bestowed. Pretty and attractive aprons are in high favor as there are many occa sions when these may be used. Flow ered organdie, dimity, swlss and the pretty Oriental wr.h silks are popu lar materials, though the practical gingham is by no means to be de spised. Hand embroidered articles are gifts that are always worth having, and there are many beautiful things which may be made by the woman who Is deft with her needle. Aside from the various linen pieces for tho table, there are those of a personal nature which are sure to be appre ciated. For Instance, an embroid ered shirt waist front is a handsome present and with It should go the cal- lar and cuffs to complete the set. Embroidered bibs, yokes, pillow cov ers, caps and bootees for the babies will please tho mothers, though the babies not having acquired a taste for dress, may not be much impressed. A little remombrance for the new baby is a pair of dainty cap strings. These are prettiest made of Persian lawn with hemstitched ends and nar row hems at tho sides. . A little feather stitching or a bit of embroid ery Is a pleasing decoration colors alternating. Keep thn twelve together by tying ribbon around them with a pretty bow on top. Each month a fresh blotter may be slipped from und r the ribbon and tho month's calendar Is at hand. Red and green blotters tied with red rib bon are a Christmas combination. For the busy housewife with a family for which she makes and mends, a now work bag may not como amiss. A sensible sort of one is a nice, generous gingham bag. Choose a pretty, bright plaid, which looks almost like silk, and then make it in the god old way, with a covered pasteboard circle for the bottom, with the sides fulled on, and a silk ribbon which harmonizes run through the top. A number of pock ets stitched on the inside keep the buttons and threads and needles where they can be r"rllly found. A hair receiver which may be laundered Is a nove'ty. Take a seven-inch square of white pique or linen, embroider with buttonhole stitch a scallop around the fou- sides, in white or color. For further decor ation an embroidered initial or mono gram is pretty. Make four buttons on one edge, so that when buttoned It will be a cornucopia shape. Catch a loop of ribbon to the two top edges to hanc it bv, fold a squnre of ra pt inpide to keep it ln shape, and there you have a pretty hair receiver.
