We can thank a most progressive and public spirited business man, Mr. E.

Allen, owner of the Allen Electric company, for this splendid gift supreme. He states that the tree will be hn gift to community. Realizing the need for municipal Christmas tree he scanned the woods for a perfect tree the Christ-tree. Readers did you every notice how tne evergreens rise to a point aspiring like a church steeple! All the growth is but the support for ever-rising top. And by the way, if we would decorate our Christmas trees with the full sense of its poetic meaning, we should not cap it with one of those spears.

At the top should be the Star of Bethlehem a single light signifying the supremo Light of the World, or an angil with outspread wings, signify i'll To some people a nrist a pretty thing of balls and pendant-, st-eau sel and many colored li take it for granted as tf sign of hristmas.

Picture the little maid gazing into the mirror and wishing she looked as does her mistress. And there would be no more maid and mistress! But perhaps just well that the days of magic are over, for no telling what might happen nowadays. And a secret! A girl is usually satisfied with herself just as she is, until she falls in love. Then she finds herself wishing she were the most beautiful thing in the world, just so that her Beloved would be oh so proud of her and her beauty. But think a bit! this foolish? He loves you for just what you are.

To him you ARK the loveliest of the lovely! And the mirror magic might only wreck your happiness, for it would give him someone who would be a perfect stranger. So waste your time in vain wishing.
