Table service Gleaming sliver the snowiest of linens, eold plates for cold thine. Warm nlatea for the main course. Tall red can dles, a great bowl of fruit within a wreath of lolly for the center- piece. First course Fish or fruit cocktails, soups or canapes may start the meal, we choose Christmas Salad Place a thick slice of tomato on a crispy bed of finely shredded lettuce. On the tomato place fresh or canned lobster or crab and atop that one or two small artichoke hearts. Sprinkle the let tuce with egg yolk which has been i put through a sieve. Served chilled with Russian dressing (mayon naise to which has been added a bit of catsup and Worcestershire sauce.) Nut bread or pimento cheese sandwiches tiny ones- are a delicious accompaniment. I4AIN COURSE! Doesn't hare to be turkey. Of course not! Ham, roast pork, mock duck, fowl of any sort may be used. THE ROYAL BIRD We have the bird all ready the iay before all but the stuffing, This may be done the night be fore, but we prefer to do it along with the finishing touches Christmas morning. Brush the fowl whatever species of bird you choose with butter, and dust with salt, pepper and flour, turkey baked breast down insures Juicy white mean. The baking? 500 degrees for about Vt hour un covered, then 350 degrees tor 20 minutes to the pound uncovered if in an insulated oven, covered otherwise. This method of slow cooking gives a gpJLden brown un broken skin and a nice Juicy ten derness. The Dressing There are many types of stuff ings bread crumbs, bread cubes. fresh bread,- dried bread soft ened. When I was a little girl just prying into cooking I learned by grandmother's method of making dressing which I much prefer for practically all occasions. She saved bread, cornbread. rolls, drying it as It accumulated When ready to use, she put it all in a great bowl, poured hot water over it, and when well softened, squeezed the bread out as dry as possible. In the meantime chopped onions were browning slowly In bacon drippings and these were added along with aa egg or two, sage, pepper, a bit of salt (be careful. The bread has salt In It you know.) Sometimes bits of celery were added, sometimes rai sins, or pecans or oysters. Then Into a sklllett the whole thing went, to brown slowly, stirred oc casionally. When cold, it was ready to use for staffing. This prevents the soggy Indigestible dressing which Is so conmmom. Dont pack the dressing in, as this makes for sogglness. If there's any left after stuffing the turkey. shape in balls and bake to serve in gravy later. Giblet Gravy The giblets we cook the day be fore. Chopped, they are all ready for the gravy. Save the water In which they were cooked, for the gravy. To make the gravy, allow two tablespoons flour and 1 cup cold water for each two table spoons of fat. Add flour to fat. brown. Add slowly stirring con stantly the cold water. Season with salt and pepper, add giblets. The other method Is to add the water to the fat, make a paste of flour and add slowly to the liquid. Cook well, so that it doesn't taste like paste. Hake plenty of it. HASHED POTATO PUFF Just the usual way, lot s i a cream and butter and whipping but don t please spoil 'em with a cover. If they must wait, place them m a pan of hot water, cov er with a tea towel so that the steam will be absorbed. Then puff 'em up pretty on a platter gar nished with parsley and pimento stars, gently Insinuate a lump of butter atop, and finish It off with a dash of paprika. And do cook the, string beans long enough! Cranberry Ice (This fs Just a different dress for an old standby. Of course. cranberry Jelly or great crimson checked berries In a clear pool of sauce Is always in good taste!) Boil on Quart cranberries in 2 cups water until tender. Put thru a sieve. Add 2 cups of sugar and Juice of 2 lemons. Freeze to mush, stirring frequently it in the tray of your elecrie xefriger- ator. Allow at least 3 or 4 hours serve in sherbet glasses as an accompaniment tor the main course. Home Made Dinner Rolls (Perhaps you'll prefer to buy the rolls, but there's absolutely no peer to home made rolls. Make 'em the day before and heat them through just before serving the meal. This is an easy three-hour method. 2 cups sweet milk, scalded and cooled to lukewarm. Add 2 tablespoons sugar 4 tablespoons butter or fat 1 cake compressed yeast dissolved in milk. Add 3 cups sifted bread flour, Beat until smooth.' Cover and let rise 1 hour in warm place. Add 1 teaspoon salt Why They Prefer Hillman 's Butier-Nut Snow flake Bread. . .

Leftover fruit plus gelatine and molded in fancy little molds makes the most delightful of fruit salads which incidentally may do double duty as a salad dessert course.

Plum puddings of course may always be freshened. After such an orgy of heavy de serts I should urge their disap pearance for a few days. Pack puddings and frlut cake with an apple or two and they will keep Indefinitely. Good gracious what have you done with the turkey bones?
