Grace Moore, known to adults as the lovely blond so- prano of opera. screen and radio, goes home to Tennessee to spend the holiday with her family and there sings with her little niece an old Spanish carol which she learned from her Spanish husband. Here are a few lines: "Shepherds, rise," the an eis said, "See the star in yonder sk es, 0’er the earth its beams are spread, Guarding all both young and wise. Ye mortals, rise!"

Christmas Decorations Wcll, another Christmas has rolled around and most of us are busy at this time of the year getting our homes decorated for the Yuletide season so that we may be proud of them when the time comes for par- ties and visitors. Each ycar the question confronts us: what decorations shull we use? A few weeks ago, most of us thought that we would think up some ideas for Christmas, 1939. but as the time draws near we are busy vzii Ii other mailers rind usually‘ lot tiic old holly, Christmas tree and mistletoe suflicc. \Viili so many things to do, it is sometimes difficult to find time to go in extensively for new sugges- tions in decorations. ’l‘hr\i"n nro prcsi-nis i0 piircliiisc, Christmas cakes and purldings and other good things to cat to prepare, Christmas cards and gifts in address and mnii —- and oh - a thousand and one things to do. _ So the suggestions we offer hora are simple ones, tho majority o! which may be prcpztrcd by the kid- dies so that the grmvn-ups may give their time to more engaging occupations. First of all. every home needs a Christmas trce to set off the prin- cipzil room in thr- house. 'l"orln_v, it. is t1 simple mzitior to go‘ n nicc trcc.
