Making Your House Say
"Merry Christmas"
By GERDA REX
Last year the Eugene Cnrrion rih
made considerable effort to induce
people to decorate the outside of the
house for the Christmas season and
offered prizes for the best effects.
This plan was so new in Eugene that
there was no response and so the
competitive plan had to be given up.
A few people however did work out
some eitecttve decorations and it is
to be hoped more will bo done this
year.
J. Ms writers personal feeling was
rather one of gratification that the
competition did not. en thmnh
Granted the fact that the Christmas
celebrationis not historically Chris
tian; inai it was carnea over from
the earliest recorded history as a
pagan celebration of the end of the
sun's journey southward and the as
surance to the world that darkness
and cold and misery were to end and
summer sure to follow; that New
England's first settlers hoped thev
had definitely left to Enron to mrrv
on this pagan festival, and that it
would never be established in the new
land, yet it has come about that it is
now recognized by the church, and as
such, the writer hopes Eugene may
keen a war from nnvrhint? which
prs of the "Bigger and Better" spirit
in me uuservance oi mis now estab
lished custom in memory of the birth
of the "Bnbe of Bethlehem."
Simplicity Keynote
There are beautiful wnys in which
the house may say "Merry Christ
mas" without ostentation and without
effort to outdo one's nHj;lil-nr, and
it is with this in mind thut the sug
gestions which follow are given.
The custom of hancing a wreath on
the door or window is not new in our
community. If a doorway is elaborate
in design this simple wreath on the
door may be all the house front needs.
Good taste is ns much to be reckoned
with in this matter as in any other
phase of decoration, and "restraint"
is ever the watchword. If the door
way is plain a rope of cedar may
frame the doorway with a wreath on
the door, and a light at the top cen
ter of the wreath, or instead of the
rope there may be matched trees on
either side of the doorway each with
tiny lights on them and the wreath
on the door.
If there is a balcony on the house
cedar rope may be festooned on this
with lights every fifteen inches or
farther apart, justo they are spaced
regularly.
A large front window may be
framed with the cedar rope, and this
may be so effective that nothing more
is needed.
Window boxes lend themselves
most gracefully to" decoration. A small
tree may be placed in the center of
the box and strung with lights, or ope
may fill the box with greens building
it up to a pyramid in the center and
decorating it with lights. If the house
has more than one window box, dress
them all but make one a major fea- j
ture, subordinating the others to it I
unless for architectural reasons they j
all should be alike.
Just here it may be well to say
Make whntever is done to have ar
chitectural form." Shapeless, shaggy,
nondescript manses are messes and
worse than nothing. If you make your
own wreaths use strong wire for them
or use stout willow or alder wands
which will keep shape. Green covered
wire or even picture wire can be
bought at the ten cent store with
which to hold firmly in place the
boughs that go into the wreath.
Wreaths may be made of holly or
they may be of fir or pine or hem
lock or Oregon grape or salal or
laurel. (Indeed laurel has been so
generally used in the east that con
servation laws had to be made to pre
serve it from extermination.) rem
fronds may be worked in in combina
tion with the hemlock or fir. Sprays
of red-berried shrubs, colored balls
used for tree decoration or the col
ored lights give life to the wreath.
Pine cones silvered or gilded give a
bright quality. Red peppers, cucum
bers and kumquats are also used. The
main thing in making the wreaths is
to get them dense, uniform in density,
and firm. They are not so easy to
make but can be made at home and
if there is time it adds just so much
to the fun of the Christmas celebra
tion to do this at home.
Big Santa Good
A very jolly house decoration would
be a big red Santa of cardboard or if
one is more enterprising and wants
to make a less perishable figure one
of board painted red or even a stuffed
figure, just ready to make his descent
into the chimney. (This would bring
all the children both old and young in
the town to view your work.)
Outside large tree decoration has
been demonstrated in past years so
we can pass that by except to suggest
an all white tree; that is one on which
a very generous supply of this so
called "rain" is hung and then only
white lights are used. This is most
effective.
In tree decoration one nay call
into play one's artistic qualities.
There is a garden in Massachusetts
in which the decorator has become a
"Christmas gardener" in very truth.
He combines green and red! lights,
one red to two greens; to give witch
ery he puts in a blue light, and where
he wants a carnival he adds yellow,
studying very carefully the effect
given by varying proportions in color.
There is a light in every bush and
shrub in his sunken garden, a verit
able garden of Christmas roses.

Sleigh bells which tingle with the
gusta of wind is another feature em
ployed In this garden.
A small tree in a pool may be a
very delightful feature of the garden
when strung with lights; or lighted
trees about the pool which will mir
ror the tights, are charming.
A snot lirht on a aheoherd tending
a small flock of sheep has been used
as garden feature which was a very
suggestive Christmas decoration.
A banta Claus in the window re
flects the cheer within.
The old Teutonic custom of placing
a candle in the window on Christmas
eve inviting the Christ child into the
home is a very pretty custom, one
which has been used locally for years
and for this there are altar lights,
low, round receptacles of thick glass,
ren or wnite, containing squat candies
which do not reach to the top of the
glass. These eliminate the fire hazard
which accompanies the ordinarv can
dle, the candle is far more effective
than an electric light for this window
decoration.
These suggestions are all Tery
simple. They do not call for a great
outlay of time and labor, and yet If
everybody will do something In the
way of outside decoration the town
will have a very festive appearance
and yet keep in harmony with the idea
for which Christmas is observed.
Local prices on wiring for outside
decorations are 4c a foot: sockets
30 to 35c; colored lamps labor
$1.50; and one must have weather
proof wiring in case it rains.
An opinion from the state super
intendent of public instruction was
adhered to In the apportionment of
the state elementary school fund to
district 15, Lancaster, according to E.
J. Moore, county school superinten
dent. The district brought mandamus pro
ceedings against the county school
superintendent and the county treas
urer in an endeavor to enforce appor
tionment on the basis of two teachers.
The apportionment as made by the
school of fire was on the basis of one
teacher and the apportionment there
fore less.
Mr. Moore stated that he wrote to
the state superintendent and asked
him to get an opinion from the at
torney general and return a statement.
This whs done, he said.
