A kissing ring for a doorway can be made by covering two embroid ery hoops with ribbon or tinsel. Place them at right angles to each other and add a bell, ball orna ment or sprig of mistletoe inside. Attach a bow at the bottom if you wish. Instead of embroidery hoops, you may use can rings painted with gilt or tempera paints. Evergreen branches can be used in many ways. Have you ever tried covering the wood moulding about a door with them? Or bending a wire coat hanger into a circle and attaching greens to it to form a wreath? You can add ball orna ments or bright cranberries to brighten it a bit. Then how about decorating your windows and mirrors? Cotton, white spray paint or white paper snowflakes always look pretty. But if there’s an artist in your family, why not have him paint a scene of a jolly Santa on a window * mirror with tempera* paints? TO WISH YOU A BALL emt W/any oLanfuafed $oin Ooyettier Sn J4oty prai6* As the angels sang on that first Christmas night, so will there be singing in the village of Bethlehem in this year of 1955. Bethlehem caroling is in many languages. An Arab choir will join with the voices of tourists and pil grims in a simple outdoor service. In a grotto which might have been the sheepfold for the watching shepherds, the Christmas story will be read from the Gospel of St. Luke. The stone buildings and churches of' Bethlehem will be filled with thousands of pilgrims who have journeyed here for a pontifical mass at midnight in St. Catherine’s Chapel and the procession which later leads down a flight of stone stairs to the grotto beneath the Church of the Nativity. According to tradition, nearly 2,000 years old, the grotto is the site of the stable where Jesus was bom when Joseph and Mary could find no room at the inn. During the ceremony an figure of Christ is placed first on silver star, then in a manger in wooden crib wL ^re it will re: until the feast of Epiphany. On both sides of the Israel-Jor- dan border, a short distance from Bethlehem, tent cities are set up to facilitate border crossing for-' malities for almost 2,000 Christians living in Israel and temporary Christian residents of Israel travel ing to Bethlehem for Christmas. The formalities do not take much time. In one tent, pilgrims get stamps for their permits; in an other, their luggage is checked; finally their money is changed. Then they cross the border, Bethlehem-bound, just as was Mary and Joseph, on a similar night long, long ago, and just as are fervent travelers from all parts of the world in this year of 1955. Thousands Send Cards To First Family Last year some 15,000 Americans sent Christmas cards to President and Mrs. Eisenhower. This number was almost twice the total received by the Eisen howers the yerfr before. About 75 per cent of the senders wrote personal messages on their cards last year and most of them said they were praying for the First Family. fraOQuMtg that business relationships^ I..
