PAPER CHAINS
A great many children, especially those living in the country, and far from shops, enjoy making long chains of paper with which to deck the rooms and table on Christmas Day. These look very gay and pretty indeed, when tho brightest colours possible are used, and when mado the chains are looped from corner to corner of the ceiling, and from side to side of the walls, with a bunch of ends all tied together to hang in a cluster from the middle of the room, if a handy gas or lamp bracket is there. A very easily and quickly made chain is shown
in the picture. It needs no pasting together at all, so much time is saved. Simply cut a number of oblong pieces from fairly tough, coloured paper, and out of the middle of each oblong cut a portion which leaves you with a little frame of coloured paper. These little frames are simply doubled over, and another one is looped through each, as the picture shows, until the chain is the required length. If you have no plain coloured paper, a bright ■wallpaper would make pretty chains.
