Eggshell trinkets offer a variety of decora tire possibilities. The shells can be salvaged from family bak ing days by run ning a darning needle through the shell at both ends and blow ing out the con tents. If neces sary the holes , ; can be enlarged so that a bright colored string with a knot in ; the end can be , run through the egg, ao that it may be strung gaily on the tree. Before stringing on the tree, shells may be colored all the hues of the.: rainbow, as st Easter time. Or do- ? signs in pencil on the shell may be: made in the form of scrolls, leaves or figures. The designs may be filled in with colors, outlined with black crayons. Christmas seals pasted on white eggshells will be bright and shiny. Colored confetti dots can likewise be used on the eggs. Peanut dolls to hang on the tree can be made by stringing suitable sizes together and tying the cord tightly to keep them in shape. They can be painted gold or silver or any other color that will liven the tree and give the little folks a part in the decorative scheme. A half-dozen star Santas swinging from the tree will add interest. Make some five-pointed stars from heavy paper. Paste a Santa head onto the top point and design white mittens on the next two, draw a belt and it's done. Run a string through San ta's hat and tie to a branch. Small green squashes painted with shellac or varnish so they will re tain their freshness can be either tied to the tree or arranged around the base. Pine cones tied with ribbons and perhaps a bell and painted white pr silver for make-believe frost are per fect for suspending from the tree. .Visit our store during the pre-Christmas period for the best food values.

Take the American farmer, for instance! He's done things with his up-to-date tractor and farm machinery that Santa Claus could never have done with his reindeer! Or, take modern industrial workers, bringing more and more things into the reach of everybody. . . Out-Santa-ing Santa! And there MUST be a Santa Claus behind our modern stores. When you step into a glistening, sanitary food store, and find government-inspected products from all over the world, wait ing to be transferred to your own pantry shelf, how can you help but blink and wonder?
