This two-minute centerpiece will suffuse the room with a buttery glow, especially beautiful in front of a mirror.

Take your wreath with you to the candle store to be sure the arrangement you desire will fit inside it, and be sure to invest in dripless tapers for less mess.

You Will Need
Plain pine wreath
14 dripless pillar candles of graduated heights

What to Do
Place the pine wreath flat on the table. Place the tallest candle at the back if the arrangement is against the wall, or in the center if it is a centerpiece. Surround the candle with the others, graduating the heights, and light -- it's that easy!

Working at the post office, I'm used to dealing with a moody public. So when one irate customer stormed my desk, I responded in my calmest voice, "What's the trouble?" "I went out this morning," she began, "and when I came home I found a card saying the mailman tried to deliver a package but no one was home. My husband was in all morning. He never heard a thing!" After apologizing, I got her parcel. "Oh, good," she gushed. "We've been waiting for this for ages." "What is it?" I asked. "My husband's new hearing aid."
