Fttt Tips Modern Hostess Proridea Tradltk)nl Chrtstmaa Fare While - Coaaerrlos Energy or Festivities J THE old-fashioned ' Christ -naa, with. stocTKinss hung-up by . cblldren. a Jolly Santa Claus, holly and cistletoe decoraUona, and, chief of aU. a'famUy table positively groaninr wttla ' CbrUtmaa tare, ia due for a revival this year, accord ing to authorities. The ultra-sophisticated Christmas . celebration, with most of the Christmas spirit left out, la rapidly going Into the discard. 'and people-are turning more .and more to th quaint old customs which surround this most joyous of festivals. While we may find it a little dif ficult to revive In America at least In the cities the bringing in of the yule log. as shown In the 'arciing; drawing by H. M. Paget, there Is no reason why all th traditional good things to eat can not be incorporated la- the Christ mas menu. : especially when they can be secured without the tiring process of being personally made by the busy mother. Teday. for Instance, the marvellous modern bakeries of America, produce the same kind - of holiday , fruit cake that "mother used to make," while similar advances have been made in other culinary fields. Consequently the hostess of the occasion Is not. too tired to take part In the festivities, while the family can enjoy the goodies without feeling that they have been provided at a nigh cost of energy. ' able to tour the surrounding country winter or summer. month in and month out with little variation in the degree of comfort While it Is true that enclosed models jump 'to the forefront in popularity during chilly periods, tourings and roadsters are no wise strictly summer vehicles. Chevrolet, for example, offer in their open models a very snug and comfortable means of trans portation with adequate protection agajnst wind, rain, fog and other weather '. contingencies that beset the motor traveler between Nov ember and April. With curtains up all around the interiors of these body styles are as comfort able as any fireside. Close fitting door curtains permit of easy ac cess, and when the warm days come, as they do frequently in Pacific coast winters, the owner has an open car for the open road. Some special features of the open models are: extra heavy brake bands giving greater brak ing efficiency, a positive steering mechanism, clear vision wind shield with rubber weather strip and many other items intended for the safety and comfort of oc cupants. The paint on both touring and roadster models of Chevrolet is Duco; that durable finish which resists the ravishes of salt -air dampness and retains its lustre even under extreme exposure to the hot sun. Hiqhway Hewn Out of Solid Rock On California Coast LOS ANGELES The rock rib bed coast of southern California, little known because of so many sandv beaches, has been con quered by roadbuilders.
