THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER 'Old Christmas' Is Best Despite Modern Trends Modernistic art and architecture are very fine, but an old-fashioned Christmas is still the best. Using the traditional colors of red And green as a basis.'the occasion can be brought up-to-date with pretty . modern angels and worldly gnomes ' of plastic, tin and wood. i Ideas for decorating the house . require forethought and planning, i even though the job itself must 'wait for the final hours. Home decorators offer a few suggestions , which will help homemakers to plan j more . attractive Christmas decK . rations. i GOLD STANDARD - Broad, i gold Christmas ribbon will be the ; motif, looped extravagantly, . in ; swags over the tree and eaught up with clusters of big gold Christ mas balls strung together. Light ! this tree with all gold lights. Re : peat the theme of gold ribbon swags and gold oaii ior xawe, mantel and window decorations. ' . : SILVER BELLS Shining sil ver bells of all sizes spangled thick ly over the tree will be different and festive for Christmas, especial ly with garlands of little shells painted silver and strung together. Or have evergreen wreaths with silvered shells worked into them instead of the usual holly berries or pine cones. FLASHES OF RED An ever green tree splashed with huge red artificial poinsettas made into garlands, strings of . cranberries, red glass balls, then all white lights would be very festive in deed, especially if complemented over the house with evergreen boughs tied with white ribbon and clusters of a big red poinsettias. DELLA ROBBIA An old idea that has a classic enduring beauty is the use of small, perfect, real fruits entwined with Christmas greens to make garlands and wreaths for Christmas decorations. Especially decorative is a wreath like this made on a stout frame Blackie Bear By D. SAM COX ROVER DOG GOES TO A PER PARTY 120 PEP- SCOtTS SCRAP BOOK HURRY! HURRY! HURRY!

That's, a lot of sneezing, but is just what Rover Dog was doing when he stopped running after Reddy Fox. If he had had hay fever and epizootics all at once, he couldn't have sneezed any worse nor had any more water run j out of his eyes. It s a mignty oaa thing to have red pepper in youV nose and eyes, and it was about all Rover could do to work his way back home. But after butting his head into a lot of trees, bush es; corn stalks and other things, he did get back to the yard, but he heard some mighty loud calls for him long before he reached the lot fence,' for Mrs. Man was out in the yard, waving her apron in the wildest .sort of way. "Here, Rover, here Rover; Sic him pup! Catch him, dog!" Oh, she was making a-, noise, but she couldn't get Rover excited. He had trou bles of his own, and felt like call ing "Here, Mrs. Man;-come here, and put out this fire!" Yes, he was just dragging along, with his head hung down, not half seeing Where he was going; and tears were just streaming from his eyes, and he was coughing and sneezing worse than anybody that Mrs. Man had ever' seen. You may be perfectly sure that Rover had no notion of running anybody else while his eyes and nose were in such a fix, and he went to Hee-Haw's water trough and stuck his whole head down un der the water, to wash that red pepper out of his eyes and mouth. That helped some, but he still was in no fix for running after "strange animals,'' nor even after men or animals that he knew about. He thought he knew gome thing else that was better for what ailed him, and he went under the house and dug still deeper that hole in the cool sand, and he lay down in it, but he didn't stop cough ing and sneezing for ever so long. This was a time when he would have agreed with anybody who wanted to say that a "dog's life" was not plumb full of days of fun. And now Mrs. Man was certainly in a bad fix. Mr. Man gone to town, and he had the gun. . Rover Dog poisoned or done something awful to that miserable; old owl, so that he could do nothing but lie down and sneeze and cough and whine; a Curious man, with short legs, but arms as long as bean poles; a coon and a possum, and she didn't know how many other wild animals', all robbing the place, and in the big daytime, too, and right in her face! Who ever heard of such a thing? Oh, if only Rover could go after them! "Kerchew! Kerchew!" No Rover certainly couldn't go. He would do well if he lived. If only Uncle Joe, or Tom or just SOME BODY would come! "Poof, poof," oh, her pot was boiling over, and by the time she got to it enough water and peas had boiled out to ' nearly put out the fire. And now !( smoke, smoke, smoke! Oh, her bread was burning up, and she' blistered her hand when she grab-i bed the hot handle of the griddle j " it-out using a rag. It looks like ' she had all the trouble there was, ' buc she didn't. . There was more. 1 inset with candleholders and sus- pended from above by stout "or lis '. of ribbons. By RJ.

And if ever an ' owl DID lose his dignity and his wise looks, Who-Who did it right then, as he laughed, with a great string of "Who-whoooos" , right in Mrs. Man's face, and swooped down and picked up a pretty red frying-size pullet, and "swooshed" off towards his house. - . Jay Bird says that he really felt sorry for Mrs. Man, and that he flew down to the well and did some of his softest "woogle woogling,' instead of screaming, "Jay! Jay!" as he generally , does, and that it seemed to quiet her.; Is It any wonder that Mrs. Man had so much to tell Mr. Man, when he got home, that she didn't have any time to really worry ver the things that somebody took out of sweat shirts.
