In arranging the table for the Christma dijner, it ii well to remembsr that the occasion, although
a festive one, haa an inherent dignity which must be preserved in the setting. This effect Is achieved
in a quietly charming manner with the table shown above. Its foundation is a snowy white linen damask
tablecloth having a most appropriate holly leaf design. The center decoration is a large Christmas tree
and the place favors are 'smaller ones. The red streamers, running from the center to each place, and
the seasonal candlelight, given off by a pair of threepronged spruce candlesticks, complete the Christ
mas atmosphere without overburdening the table. ' j '

CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
SANTA CIjAI'S nf course thorc is u Kanln Clims;
liitf, fal, (.'nml-nalurfil Santa CIiiiik, who liriniis ltn
Chri.slmas time and fills the world with joy; n Santa
(.'laus who makes the earth ring with Christmas chimes
and enrols, who fills homes with the laughter of chil
dren and the hearts of men with the kindliest thought
of all the jenr.
There is a Christmas spirit that prunes to earth and
makes men hip and (fencrous. It drives out the spirit
of selfishness and preed and prompts men to wilder
ilecds. Jt prompts friendly nets and inspires helpful
ness. It causes men mid women to forget their sor
row; to eease their worrying and lift, in part, the hnr
tleinj of their fellows. It is a spirit of pood will. . It
wipes away tears und lightens the grief ; it helps the
falle to rise again; it puts courage into the heart of
struggling humanity; it hrings the impulse to I'orpive;
it helps to hear heavy loads; it0 iiuikos dark places
lighter and helps lo fill the world with happiness.
That is the spirit that makes us send gifts to one an
