Or aeariy. They might, for in- stance, be crocheted snow- flakes, dipped and starched hi sugar, or gaily decorated an* gels made of bread dough. Both ornaments are offered this season by a well known Scandinavian import store fat New York City as part of a growing trend in Christmas tree decoration—use of folk art \About M per cent of our or- naments are hand - crafted/' said Stig Skoglund, who heads the store's ornament depart - ment. \They are made of ev- ery conceivable material.\ The store draws on the native skills of artists in 37 countries in ad- dition to the United States for its display. — .— Whether they are owls made if|$£ ^wnfi^fevof foUiort out of ptoecones, stained glass stars to leaded frames, or chunky balsa Santa Claus mobiles, the ornaments have become increasingly in de- mand, SkogJund noted, adding that a number of out-of-state customers annually send him checks for fixed amounts re- questing only a representative selection of ornaments. Happily, the supply of decor- ations is as much on the rise as the demand. Skoglund said he adds the work of at least 15 new American craftsmen and women to his stock each year. The ornaments are made by people of varying backgrounds — housewives, working girls, schoolgirls/ hospital patients, in addition to artists. Skoglund had received hand - painted stockings and paper tree mo- biles fr^m a nurse In Texas, airy threaded balls from a doc- tor's wife to Rhode Island, fus- ed glass arhaments from a Cm* necticut woman who formerly taught at the Museum of Mod- ern Art in New York, lace and paper angels made by a group of women in Schenectady to support the local art museum. In Skoglund's native Sweden, ornaments are made as therapy by patients in hospitals for the disabled and distributed for sale here by an organization formed to revive folk art in that coun- try. Carving of Jultomtens — gnome-like figures popular as Swedish household guardians- was once a national pastime to fill the long cold winters. More recently it has fallen into dis- favor with the younger popula- tion who seek more lucrative enterprises, Skoglund said. The folk ornaments can be as delicate as the Swiss blown glass balls through which glass threads have been drawn, aa natural as Mexican burlap and rope angels, u oniate as the embroidered peacocks from Taiwan, as staple as Scandina- vian straw birds, as ingenious as reindeer molded of excelsior- Some are musical, others have moveable parts. Traditional and abstract or- naments are made of glass, plastic, straw, wood, wool, felt, papier mache, velvet, gum balls, milkweed pods, tin, brass, dough and paper. They come in the current \hot\ colors—pink, orange, chartreuse, royal blue —or colors indeigenous to oth- er parts of the world. Among his most loyal cus • tomers, Skoglund said, are or- nament collectors. Some add only a few ornaments to their collection each year, others do entire trees in one kind of or- nament such as angels. Get Christmas mail in early MAD MEXICAN JEWELRY in way-out colors, gay wall plaques and jewelry boxes are jost a few ef the many Christmas gifts that the teen with a limited allowance can turn out from a clay made of baking soda, corn starch and water* Somehow, in the rush and soul-searching to fnd just the right gifts for everyone, one most important detail tends to go by unnoticed. That forget- table detail is: getting your gifts there in time for Christ- mas. -- --— — Each year the post office puts out a few guidelines to insure a merry Christmas for every- one. First and foremost, mail be- fore the following dates: For parcels within the conti- nental United States: nearby states and local areas, Decem- ber 14: for distant states iwer 300 miles), December 5. For Christmas cards within the continental United States: Nearby states and local ar- eas, Dec. 15; for distant states (over 300 miles), Dec. 10. For Alaska and Hawaii: Sur- face mall deadline, Nov. 30, air ! mail, Dec. 15. | Overseas, including Viet Sam | surface mail deadline, Nov. 10; ' airmail, Dec. 10. There is no doubt about it, evergreens and the entire gar- den appear much more attrac- tive when the Christmas lights are on. The reason is that dark- ness blots out unsightly areas. But the bulbs should be placed so that they do not touch the needles of the evergreens and one should check the position of them each day. Winds may shift them out of position. • • • Jost before setting up the tree, saw off the trunk at an angle at least one inch above the original cut. Place tree in water, making sure that the i level of water is above cut at all times. Make sure the tree is well supported and is placed a*ay from sources of heat such as fireplaces or radiators and where it will not block any exits in case of fire.
