First wire the nuts so as to hang them on the twee, touch them over Wiih muuilage, lay each one on a copper leaf, rolling it up loosely, having it, ragged, not neat and even. These nuts are very gay and pretty.

The Christmas tree, of whatever size, should be symmetrical in out- line, if possible. The first step to be taken is to thin the branches somewhat, without. injuring its sym- metry. that the decorations may have full effect without any appear- ance of being crowded. seeds, and fill the cévitics with a seeded raisin and an English walnut, meat.
