Suggestions for Christmas packets
for our men at home and abroad:
By Christmas we shall have a large
number of men in France, and 600,
000 in the cantonments at home, be
sides the thousands in our regular
army posts and In our navy, and ev
eryone will be eager to help In giving
them Christmas cheer.
No matter how generous a supply
of gifts some of the men may receive
from families and friends, it is be
lieved that all lied Cross members
will want to unite in sending to each
man a Christmas packet filled with
good things and good will.
In order that the men may be
equally remembered and yet that
there may be a pleasing variety In the
packets, the following suggestions
are made for preparing and assemb
ling the Christmas parcels:
1.-—Nothing should go into them
which will not keep fresh front the
time of packing until Christmas.
3.— Dried fruits and other products
should be packed in small tin or
wooden boxes, one-quarter to one
half pound size.
3. —Hard candy, including choco
late, would probably be safe in tin
foil or heavy cardboard, but not soft
chocolates or anything that could be
possible crushed should be used, as
the remaining contents of the pack
age might be spoiled thereby.
4. --Several dainties packed in ob
long tin boxes holding each a quar
ter of a pound, will provide a better
variety for a packet than a larger
quantity of a single confection.
5. —No liquids nor articles packed
in glass should be placed in the pack
age.
6. —For wrapping the gifts use a
khaki-colored handkerchief, twenty
seven Inches square, and form the
base of the packet by placing on the
cfenter of the handkerchief a pad of
writing paper about seven by ten
inches.
7. —Select a variety of articles ei
ther from the suggested list (or ac
cording to individual wishes) to an
amount not exceeding $1.50, and ar
range them on the pad of paper so
that the entire package shall be the
width of the pad and approximately
five or six inches high.
8. —Wrap and tie with one inch red
ribbon and place a Christmas card un
der the bow of ribbon. A card bear
ing the greetings of the Chapter
would be desirable.
9.—Wrap the parcel again in heavy
light brown Manila paper, tie secure
ly with red, green or gilt cord, and
I use Christmas labels or American
flags as desired.
