BOTH HOUSES will write poems
about each coed and fete their
housemother and waiters.
Adelia Cheever celebrates
Christmas early in the morning
at their annual breakfast. Bacon
and eggs, Christmas carols, live-
ly antics by the housemother and
poems about each member of
the house are combined for a
holiday atmosphere.
The waiters at the Gamma Phi
Beta and Alpha Chi Omega hous-
es are given an evening off when
the coeds put on the familiar white
coats and serve dinner. Both hous-
es top the evening off by reading
poems about each member.
THE CHILDREN at University

Frt
I.
By ROBERTA MACGREGOR
Many traditional home and tree
decorations can be combined with
newer and more unusual ideas to
make the home distinctively bright
and cheerful during the Christmas
season.
A plain green wreath, covered
with wheat, bright artificial flow-
ers and strawflowers bound to the
wreath by florist's wire and hung
before a mirror in the hallway,
will welcome guests during the
entire season.
TABLES throughout the home
can hold decorations which will
help carry out the Christmas
theme.
The' manger scene is effective
on an occasional table of medi-
um height while a low coffee
table will hold a "Santa-Claus-
in-the-snow" scene, of particu-
lar interest to small children.
This effect is achieved by an-
choring a wax Santa Claus in a
large rose bowl and covering him
with water. White moth balls put

in the water will bounce up and
down when citric acid is added,
giving the impressions of snow-
balls bouncing on Santa's head.
ALMOST ANY table can be
brightened by a bowl full of
Christmas tree ornaments or a
large candle surrounded by greenst
and ornaments.
Another table decoration is
a mound of greens with a large
number of Gipfel inserted in
the mound. A Gipfel is the top-
most ornament of a Christmas
tree and will stand up in the
greens.
The centerpiece on the dining
table is of particular interest dur-
ing the festive season and can be
constructed to match each occa-
sion.
FOR A SNACK party, an Italian
bread ring holding wheat and dried
flowers makes a novel centerpiece.
The bread is placed on a chopping
board with crumpled chicken wire
in the center to anchor the dried
flowers.
Limes, lemons and walnuts
may be heaped at the base of a

weathered tree branch. Vari-
colored candles perched on the
individual branches will lend
color to nearly any occasion.
Higher style for a formal dinner
is achieved by dipping a thin
wooden basket in fabric dye and
filling with bunches of dried flow-
er hearts and tiny strawflowers
called rockets. These can be pur-
chased from a florist and are held
in place by chicken wire.

FOR THE MANTEL, candles
surrounded with holly may be in-
serted in wine bottles and placed
on each side of the fireplace.
A buffet table may be covered
by a glittering garland as long as
the table, This is done by wiring
a plain green garland to plaster
candlesticks dyed green. The
garland is suspended between
candlesticks and decorated with
silver and blue Christmas balls.
Christmas tree ornaments of
various sizes can be arranged in
the form of a holiday train and
put on a felt track. Angel's hair
smoke and a simple frame around
the scene make the "picture" real-
istic for small children.
