AN AHSURI) SUGGESTION.
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.

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.
