There are some varieties of the tree-fungi which make dark, rich-colored
Brackets.
Use heavy cardboard or thin board as a covering for the back; have this fit the fungus perfectly, and fasten it securely in position with very stiff glue or nails. Paint the back the same color as the fungus, and on either side of the upper edge place screw-eyes by which to fasten up the bracket.
Many of the curiously formed galls and oak-apples to be found on different trees can also be employed as ornaments.
Nothing can be finer than our brilliant autumn season, which is said to be more beautiful in this than in other countries, with its crisp mornings and bright sunny afternoons.
When the weather is too lovely to remain in-doors, and all nature invites us out, then is the time to gather our fall decorations.
