Outdoor decorations will range from large, expensive, mechanically powered d I s playa, to one small wreath on a door ... but both are signs of nelghborliness and hospi tality at this Holiday Season. Doors, and a picture win dow if you have one, are the best spots to start your dec orating. They are "naturals" as focal points. Serves As Frame Your walk serves as a "frame" for the doorway as seen from the street ... so don't forget that. Lights are, of course, the most exciting and festive ways to dress up your home's exterior. But, there is virtual ly no end to the many ways you can decorate if you let your imagination go to work. But, here are two important hints to keep in mind: (1) Be sure your display is not a clutter. Feature one design, and use all other items to en hance that. And (2) be sure your displays are weather proof. This is particularly Im portant where lights are used. Washes Off Besides lights, tinsel, green ery, cut-outs, etc., which you know work for good displays ..' . . you can use casein paint to decorate your door, garage, windows, or vhat-have-you . . . goes on easily and washes off quickly. Remember, that rain and snow can smear it or wash it off ... so use casein paint only where it 'is protected. Test it on a small area first . . . just to be sure!

It's a good "excuse" for get ing to know your neighbors better . . . and can make yours a neighborhood the whole town will be proud to show off!

Measure Height of Tree Before Buying Be sure to measure the height you want for the tree In your home, and then take that yardstick with you when you buy. A tree in an open-air lot looks smaller than it actually is. It's a waste of money buy ing a tree that Is too tall; it also means it will have to be cut down.
