Thus Preventing Fatali, ties In the Homes. EOPLE cannot be too care ful in guarding against fire when trimming a Christmas tree, says a correspondent in Good Housekeep ing- There have been scores of Christ mas tree fatalities in homes and In Sunday schools which a little caro might have prevented. The writer once set a tree in a blaze, consuming nearly half of it, tinsel ornaments go ing with the green branches. A tiny candle had been wired too high, and it took only a few minutes of Its brisk heat to char a branch above it and start a flame. A thick portiere was torn from its pole and thrown over the blaze. If it had not been at hand the light window curtains would have caught fire in another minute. Since that Christmas our tree has always been placed in the center of the room, and we have eschewed cotton wool, tissue-paper angels, and celluloid or- naments. First of all, we wire each candle securely tn place at the furth est end of a branch which has noth ing above it, either fir tree or trim- mtng. Then as the tree is denuded we watch carefully the fast-dlsappearlng candles. Sometimes one of them, near ly burned down, will topple over or be merely a spark of flame, but near to something inflammable and be a men ace. Miniature Christmas Emblem May Be Surrounded With Presenta Tied With Red Ribbon. ECORATE the table with a Christmas tree, one of the toy ones, and pile around its foot a quantity of presents tied with red ribbons. These should be only what a college man would call “grinds"—perhaps a tiny tin piano for a would-be perform- er. a lantern for the one the points of whose jokes are difficult to see. a placid paper golf bag for the enthusi astic player, and so on, each with a rhyme or quotation, says Harper’s Bazar. If one considers a goose a somewhat undignified bird, ducks may be exchanged for it, either the domes tic fowl or the more expensive canvas- back or redhead. Fried celery is very good with duck, the crispest pieces dropped in batter and then cooked in deep fat. But the apple sauce cro quettes should not be omitted even with this.

Good Year for Violeta Sweet peas have been forced for the Christmas market only for many years past. They must be started blooming before the cold weather begins. Then they will bloom all winter. Daffodils do not get in until February, but al most all the rest of the spring flowers, hyacinths, narcissuses, bavardia, and so on. are on the Christmas counters. Easter lilies, too. though rather cold and white for Christmas, are sold. Vi olets, are fine this winter, deeply, darkly, beautifully blue. Some mi gnonette now comes in enormous sprays. There are carnations but the bright red Christmas carnation is the favorite. Holly comes from the bills of Maryland and the south. The wild holly supplies the market and there has never seemed to be any percepti ble diminution of the supply.
