Christmas shopping lessened some what ihe attendance at the Civic league meeting yesterday, but those who were present enjoyed Mrs. M. P. Todd's inter esting description of tho loom she lias patented, and which is in use in the Min neapolis public schools. Mrs. Todd is herself a teacher in the Minneapolis schools, and it was actual experience in the industrial work with the children that .suggested to her the idea of the loom. It was designed primarily for school and kindergarten work, but Mrs. Todd explained yesterday how fancy work of various kinds could be made .upon it at home. Besides.explaining the use of her loom, Mrs. Todd exhibited a number of articles that could be made on it. Mrs.. George. B. Young, chairman of the olid) women's quarters committee, report ed yesterday that her committee had had one meeting, but the members felt that further time should be granted them in order that-they might make a more com plete report. . Mrs. Young stated that the members of the committee were con sulting as many club women as possible, on the subject in order to get their opin ions in regard to the matter. A report, she thought, would be ready for the next meeting. The committee who had charge of ths Mollis lecture reported -that $90 had been cleared by the lecture. So well pleased were, these who attended the lec ture with Prof. Zueblin's treatment of the subject, that the conlmittee recom mended that he be engaged for the re maining series of arts and crafts lec tures that are to be delivered next spring. The league meeting was held yesterday on the top floor of th New York life building. After the meeting the mem bers were invited to visit the various stu dios that are on this floor.

Table decorations at Christmas time cost . money as 7 a ; rule, 7 because flowers are scarce and'must: be bought," unless' one is the possessor" of a conservatory. There are plenty of decorations, however, w_iie.fr can be planned at a small cost, and will look quite as pretty as those ar ranged by the high-priced florist; * At this season -of the year, even in sheltered places in:the woods, the.brake fern is growing, ; sending out new and tender'gren- shoots, and with .plenty ct the ! older * and _ darker green leaves sur rounding it. With this variety of fern a very pretty and simple decoration can be -.arranged by g gathering perfect leaves and laying them oh the cloth. At a sup per given • recently two of these ferns were laid at each cover in the form of a V. The stems Came tobether and were covered- by long-stemmed carnation of a delicate shade of pink, the latter be ing inteded as a souvenir. At the guest table was a large circle of the ferns, witn an inner circle of the pinks and one large, white chrysanthemum covering the stems of the. carnations. The brake fern resembles the Boston fern, and is more durable than the finer varieties of fern, keeping.in: good order for several-hours after, being gathered. Another equally prelt ytable had a run ning wreath 'of the newly grown sprays of the English .ivy. •---.-:...;... :..:-■ -*-.:-: This is growing nicely at this-season of the year, and keeps Its freshness well, j even without water, and in a heated room.

Care was. taken.'.to use only the young sprays of the .ivy, which are of a light and glossy green.: A- - - ::.--, .-,, _; Where holly can be procured, it is. of course, the . most ..seasonable decoration for a Christmas dnner. table. With its bright red berries, no flowers are- needed. Sprays of frosted holly: are very effective on the white table' linen: The : holly is frosted by being dipped into a solution of gum arabic and water, drained .and: then dusted thickly. with powdered mica or some ether frosting material,, which can be obtained from the druggist at small cost.. : ■ Where a dinner party" is being. set to please - the children. - the - fruit : may . be made to answer-for decorative purposes." The "orange basket is a- favorite with little I ones. V;- Large!". and Y. deep: yellow oranges are- used. The skin is cut round with a sharp knife leaving two strips at each side of the orange uncut. Cut from one of these strips to-the'.other. over the orange; and,remove th:* peel on each side carefully.' so as not to * break the fruit. This makes the: plain basket. - With a small and sharp • knife the ton .of the basket and the handle may. be made pointed, : and tiny-.squares or diamonds on the skin may, be removed to heighten the decorative effect. • ..• A CHRISTMAS DINNER. y7; menu.: 7 7 ;"-7" 7 ... -.
