Making Own Home Decorations Fun Part of the tremendous fun of Christmas is making it merrier by making your own decorations! One of the traditional decora tions, and one that is easy to make yourself, is a Christmas wreath. If your preference Is the wreath of Christmas greens, simply bend a wire coat hanger into a circle. Using small boughs of evergreen, fasten each one securely to the circle with wire until it is completely and evenly covered. Finish the wreath by wiring bits of holly, clusters of orna ments, or tiny pipe cones into the greenery and top it with a big bow of red ribbon. For a more modern-mood dec oration, a Christmas wreath can be fashioned of other materials to heighten your holiday decor. A gala wreath can be made of fluffy angel hair. First, wrap the coat hanger 'base with crumpled tissue paper tied securely with string.

Carols Are integral Part- of Christmas 0 Nothing puts you in the nigod, and reflects the spirit of Christ mas, as much as Christmas carols. Whether you hear tlicoi for the first time this year sung by a choir, over the air or a family group . . . they bring to mind the real meaning of Christmas. A non-religious song, "I'm Dreaming of a White Ghrist mas" by Irving Berlin . . . brings back fond memories to almost everyone. Ever since the first Christ mas, carols have been an inte gral, part of this joyous holiday season. According to the Bible story of Christmas, the first carol was sung by a chorus of angels the "Glori.a in.Excelsis" "Glory to God in the'highest". The early settlers in America brought many of trie old Euro pean carols to this country. "Adeste Fidelis", long a tradi tional hymn, has an unknown origin. "Away in a Manger", Luther's hymn, canjy to us from Ger many. "God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen" from England and the lovelf'O, Holy Night" from France. From Austria came "Silent Night, Holy Night". Americans too, have contrib uted to our rich heritage of Christmas songs. In 1849, Ed mund H. Sears, a Unitarian min ister, composed "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear". "We jhree Kings of Bethle hem Are" was composed (y Dr. John Henry : Hopkins, Jr., an Episcopalian rector. O Pcrbeps the best known and most beloved of all American carols, "O Little TownSf Beth lehem" was wtten in 1868 by Phillips Brooks, a young Episco palian ninister. A trip to the Holy Land was his inspiration for the caftjl. The gay holiday qgng, "Jingle Hoys", has been popuf$r for al most a century and was com posed by another American churchman, John Pie9pont. 1- ' sfen car sr rpV fwm ...The Fashionelte FASHION CORNER Gift-shop now for fashion-wiss Ideal for her Christmas . . . trim her tree with Fashion Gtfts from our exciting selectionl Beautiful Lingerie By Mojud and Yolande Gowns By Mojud and Yolande Boudoir Sets By Mojud and Yolande Bouffant Petticoats Hosiery.
