Thls glistening cone. sparkling yith sequins. and niled with boughs studded with Christmas balls, is a simple but eilective way of proclaiming season's greetings to those who knock at this door. Chicken wire tot-ms base for oilcloth or me- gtaillciaper covering.
By Anne Larsen
You dont need a life-size San- ta on your chimney or animated reindeer on your lawn to proclaim Christmas spirit to those who ap- proach your home during the Yule season. simple, inexpensive exterior decorations can speak Just as eloquently of your gaiety and imagination.
It you are lucky enough to have an evergreen growing in front yard, here's an idea adornment contributed by Peter Hunt.
A collection of old mop and broom handles pi-otxdes the basis for trimmings for an outdoor tree. Cut the sticks into even lengths. give them a base trout of white then add a fancy touch with bril- liant red barber-pole stripes. Clip these to the green branches with cup hooks, and the effect will be that of a legendary candy tree hung with peppermint sticks.
To turn a snowfall into a wind- fall, try this soap trick for saving both bother and budget during the Christmas season. All that's required is a tree, firmly on- trenched in bucket or holder, and a big bucket of fluiiy suds.
Dry lather is what you need; use little water and much soap or detergent. Then heap the boughs ot the tree with your home-made snow. This 'tsnou-," which drifts and clings in a sl"iklll;', realistic manner. has the advantage of be- ing inexpensive, non-ini'lamable. and there's no mess from shed- ding. Once dry, the suds harden into a lasting textured finish
Such a tree. set upon R shelter- ed porch. or used to grace a vesti- bule, welcomes the visitor to your: home with a glint of liriiliantl white and a hint of the good cheer that awaits nini. lt's suit- able for indoor decoration, too. it you've no place outside your door for this sentinel of liospitality.

St. Nicholas tor Nicolas) is San- ta Claus' real name. He lived in Asia. Minor and was the beloved bishop of the Greek Church of Myra in Lycia. He is the patron saint of the young, and in some European countries a person dress- 'er'. as a bishop still assembles the ;children and distributes gifts of nuts, sweetmcats and other things to the good boys and girls.
Children loved St. Nicholas and itrudged along beside him as he .trudge(l the dusty roads of the 'Lycia countryside. bringing fruit ,and candy to the sick and needy. ; One of many stories told oi his lgoodness concerns a poor and tlioiiest man and his three good land beautiful daughters. The in- jtIIBi' was unhappy for poverty pre- ti-tented his giving the customary
5ldowries to his daughters. and for
Vihis reason they could never have suitable husbands. One night a bag of coins was ,tr-ssed in at the man's window The next night the act was re- )peated. But on the third night ,thc father watched, and the an- onymous glver was detected. The tjolly bishop stood with the third bag of coins in his hands. The liatlier was very proud and would jnot accept the money. The good tbishop begged the poor man to accept the gifts and use them for his daughters' dolvrics. requesting tthat his name never be revealed. At last. the father accepted the fmoney for his daughters. but he could not keep the name of the ,;.enernus bishop secret--sn the ;legend of the izondness of S: ,Nicholas was further spread and ' strengthened.
