(his tho old
*©rm of celebrating
the day U jeldoin seen. As tho yule
Jo* vanished with the advent of the
stove so the simple ways which
amused the youngsters of yesterday
have disappeared and in their stead
comes to-day an endless Hue of me-
chanical devices. The dollB of to day
open and close their eyes and even
speak; the toy steam train runs by
real steam power; the miniature elec-
tric car Is driven by real electricity;
the toy animals and Insects move
about like real life. Now Christinas
trees are purchased at the grocery
store and are illuminated at night
with tiny electric lights instead of
candles. Instead of popcorn balls and
cornucopias of candy tho tree is dec-
orated with gilt and tinsel ropes and
stars. More automobile horns are
heard now on Christmas day than
sleigh bells. Steam heat and elec-
tric radiators take the plane of open
fires and plenty of money makes the
day even more enjoyable than ever
before.
Much Due to Electricity.
Electricity, which has invaded every
nook and cranny of life ts-day, has
assisted more than any one thing In
modernizing the Christmas celebra-
tion. The electric cars hurry Christ-
mas callers from house to house. On
Christmas eve the buildings and
street* are ablaze with countless elec-
tric lights. Kleclrlc telephones and
telegraph ore wishing every one many
happy returns of (he day. The wire-
less carrlos "Merry Christinas" from
ship to ship and the electric cable
Rashes I ho good will of governments
a round the earth.
The new electric ovens sizzle with
the ron«"3g turkey and the electric
fnl-.Crushed to prepare the many
'i'ppotlzlng viands for which the day
of feast calls.. Kleclrlc door-bellg are
Jingling; electrical musical Instru-
ments furnish ihe music for the Christ-
inas carols; the electric motors, which
have worked so faithfully In prepar-
ing the many valuable presents of a
thousand different varieties, are en-
joying a day's rest after the hustling
days of the holiday trade.
Useful Christmas Presents.
Year by year It grows more the cus-
tom to make Christmas presents just
as useful as itosslble. While expense
Is not considered so material as it
used to be it Is Important that the
gifts should be useful as well as or-
namental. This Is as It should be.
Here again electricity finds a useful
field. The development of the electric
heating and cooking devices haB add-
ed a host of valuable and useful things
which are always acceptable Christ-
mas gifts. The electric chafing dish,
electric shaving mug and electric cof-
fee percolator will be numbered
among the most conspicuous of use-
ful Christmas presents. The elec-
trical list also contains electric flat-
irons, electric cookers, luminous radi-
ators, massage machines, hair dryers,
curling Iron heaters, water heaters,
tea kettles, baby inilk warmer and a
number of other useful things, not to
mention the electric toys.
This year will see less money wast-
ed for useless trinkets than ever be-
fore.
Christmas Decorations.
Let the house be bright and cheer-
ful at Christmas, with plenty of holly
and mistletoe distributed throughout.
If there is a chandelier in the dining-
room have It hung with evergreens
and holly, and from that carry long
ropes of greens to each corner of the
room, thus forming a canopy for the
table. Fasten wreaths at all the win-
dows. Red and green is most appro-
priate for the Christmas table. In the
center place a bowl filled with red
carnations surrounded with holly, and
four single candles in silver or glass
sticks with scarlet shades to further
carry out the bright and cheering
color scheme. At eaclf place have a
miniature Christmas tree to which
place cards are tied with narrow, red
ribbon. If preferred the centerpiece
may also be a tree of a larger size.
Boxes representing Santa Claus and
filled with bonbons make appropriate
souvenirs, for the possession of a
"sweet tooth" is by no means confined
to the extremely juvenHe.
Gifts from Wall Paper.
Get a sample book of wall paper
which can be had for the asking when
the season is over. . For a waste paper
basket cut a pattern six Inches at the
top, tapering to four inches at the bot-
tom, and 12 inches high, which is a
good size for a lady's desk. Cut four
sections from cardboard and a square
4x4 inches for the bottom. Cover the
outside of each piece with a pretty de-
sign of the wall paper, cutting the
pieces a little larger than cardboard,
pasting the edges on to the wrong
side, use a contrasting color for the In-
side, plain paper is prettier and cut
just the size of the section. Punch
holes near the top and bottom of each
piece and two on each side of the bot-
tom piece, near corner; tie the pieces
together with baby ribbon, it requiring
about three yards. One can make dif-
ferent sizes, small ones for hair re-
ceivers or with a little pad In bottom
for jewelry, also glove and handker-
chief boxes. Cover empty thread
boxes and fill with home-made candy.
