days with all their merriment and frenzy, joys and chaos, and even those who claim it's "a relief" are experiencing certain amount of let down as they look ahead to three more months of cold unrelieved winter. As the Christmas decorations are packed away and the last pine needles are swept up, even as you're saying- bit too it's good to be tidy, again," I'll wager you're thinking with a pang, "Doesn't it look sterile- now what?" These are the after-Christmas grizzlies and no one feels them any more strongly than I. There are some things you can do in anticipation of this time of year: You can have a live Christmas tree which can be taken outside after Christmas and with much ceremony planted as a living symbol of the continuation of the Christmas Spirit. You can plan a Twelfth Night party- although this might be said to be just postponing the "grizzlies." Or you can plan your Christmas decorations so that many of them will continue as winter decorations. Juniper branches, for instance, are long lasting and make delightful winter arrangements, as do pine and boxwood when stripped of their Christmas tinsel.

IF YOU haven't been farsighted this year, now is the time to make resolutions about next year and in the meantime get in and make an all out effort to bring a midwinter cozyness to your home. Think of the things that made your home particularly inviting during the holidays. The smell of baking, fresh plants or greens, and candle light or little twinkly lights were undoubtedly part of it, and there's no reason why these same things can't give the same lift now during the doldrums. Baking, or at the very least popcorn and hot chocolate shuld be part of every snowy day. Grace that clean but achingly bare place where the Christmas tree or creche stood with a bright fresh cyclamen or azalea plant- a good investment when you realize that with care it should last and bloom for many weeks.

This would also be a good time to make a winter garden or treat yourself to some new green plants. FINALLY take a tip from the Finns who meet their long cold, dark winters head-on with, among other things, a A Lovelier You Manners Wear Well By MARY SUE MILLER A girl just does not her table manners are that good table manners In terms of today, good never offend, always be The first principle seem ready for the social scene when careless or clumsy. You might think are "straight." But you'd be wrong. manners are flower children stuff acceptable table manners all manners, in fact is consideration for others, their feelings and enjoyment. Out of respect for your table companions of any age including your own, you therefore would never take a gluttonous or disdainful approach to eating.

You would neither slurp a cola drink at a fountain nor pick at your hostess's dinner. Acceptable behavior is unobtrusive. Great behavior is also graceful. In practice those ideas work out like so: DO unfold a napkin in your lap; never shake it open although it's paper. DON'T lounge.

Sit erect -easy, not stiff your elbows close into your sides. DO handle food deftly. Cut one piece of meat at time; break off a piece of bread before buttering. DON'T take more than one bite from the same forkful or one sip from a spoonful. DO avoid sound effects and talking with mouthful.

DON'T drink before swallowing food in the mouth. DO place used silver on the plate, not on the table. DON'T forget that manners grow on you. You can't put them on and take them off. You're stuck with them, like your looks your turnout, good or bad.

The warm glow of candlelights and lanterns that shines forth from Scandinavian winters is a beacon of good fellowship and contentment. Get yourself a collection of fat candles that can be grouped together on a tray and will burn cheerfully for a long time, invest in tapers that can be used at the least excuse in your favorite candlesticks, find yourself kerosene lamp either contemporary or antique -and let it grace your coffee table and don't wait for company, only nightfall, to light it. If you have fireplace, invest in a good supply of wood and don't let a storm pass without a blazing fire. These are all touches that can make the year's beginning a cozy, snuggly contented time instead of the raw, bleak postscript which January threatens to be.
