Too many ignorant or thoughtless people do not hes­ itate to strip the beautiful papery bark from the living tree, not realizing probably that the bark Is needed to protect the running of the s^p and that the outer bark, so smooth and silvery, will never renew Itself. So, even if death does-not Immediately follow, the beauty of the tree is gone, said Orra Parker Phelps In the Housekeeper, Once I found a dead tree from which I was able to slip several feet of bark in rings. This 'only needed to be sep­ arated into convehient sizes, ■fitted with tight ' bottoms, sewed, in place by raffia or sweet grass, and lifting lids attached, to make boxes ready to fill with Christmas sweets. In making laurel wreathing or garlanding we have found "that by taking small twigs and winding one on to an­ other, using light picture wire as binding, the wreathing makes very rapidly and easily. When the white pine cones fa ll' we gather bushels of them. And such treasures as the cones are! In the open fire they make a glorious blaze—fit ’ background for wonderful fire castles—and. as for kindlings they are ab­ solutely unsurpassed. Remembering tknt the two little cousins living on the Pacific coast once sent a bar­ rel of.the Western cones to a much loved poet, greatly to his delight, wre tried-, sending a sack of cones, gayly decked with laurel, to a city friend who loves an open fire. In the very bottom was a small “chunk” with a paper bear­ ing these words: “JST. B.— This is a Yule Log.” An­ other time an armful of the cone bearing branches of the Ted pine were sent to a friend. But our especial Christmas gifts, the ones we send to the nearest and dearest, are our little Christmas trees. We take a day and jgo up to the mountain swamp where grew the cranberries,'and there we choose wee, little shapely trees, getting them, so far as we can, from the deep shade of other trees, for these are doomed to an early death anyway. Wo flit each little spruce securely to a board, covering It with moss and trailing vines. Then we deck the tree. Of course thp gifts must be tiny and varied to suit those to whom they go. . ' Rare Branches.' The thing next iu beauty to a tree In full leaf Is a tree bare; its every - exquisitencss of shape revealed, and Its .hold on the sky seeming so un­ speakably assured; and, more than, the beautiful of shape and the outlin­ ing on the sky, is, the grace of proph­ ecy and promise which every slender twig benrs and reveals in Its tiny gray buds.—-Helen Hunt Jackson.

The crusades had, a wonderful influ­ ence upon the literary taste m well as the national manners and festivities of Christmastide. I t was a t the Christmas festival of 1314 that the batons demanded from King John the document which as the foundation of English liberties la known by the. name of Magna Obarta. John's tyrannyhnd become intolerable, and the hopes of the people hung on the fortunes of the French campaign, in which he was then engaged* After ills defeat and return to England the bnrons met secretly and swore to de­ mand the restoration of their liberties, by charter under the king's seal. Hav­ ing agreed to-assemble for this pur­ pose a t Christmas, they separated; On the feast of the Epiphany the barons asked of tbe king his confirmation of the laws of Edward the Confessor and Henry I. John met tha barons with an absolute refusal, but, finding them firm, pleaded foh time to consider. Tills was granted, and in 1215, knowing it to be Inevitable, he called tbe barons to Runymede and there signed the great charter. FORAJOYFULCHRISTMAS .
