Christmas day In America, while National feast day and a time of joyous hearts and cheerful giving, nevertheless has its problems, es pecially for the hostess who must plan the Christmas dinner. Follow ing Thanksgiving by barely a month as It does, it offers the ques tion of whether fowl or beast shall be served, and what kind. While Thanksgiving is traditional ly national turkey day, the bird also has its proponents during the Christmas season. Christmas din ner, however, by virtue of its world wide rather than national observ ance, as in the case of Thanksgiv ing, allows of a vastly wider range in choice of the piece de resistance, not being bound by the tradition of strictly national custom. Substitution of another meat for turkey at Christmas may be found in the desire of the hottest to avoid duplication of the Thanksgiving menu, or In the effect of much Christmas giving on the family purse. StiU another reason may lie In the fact that if one Is to keep with in a budget of 11.00 or less ner ner- son, some cheaper meat must be substituted to offset the seasonal general Increase In the cost of fresh vegetables. Roast goose will offer a Juicy mor sel, and may well be supported by Christmas tradition of virtually all niHuiwo fiuropean countries, well In earlier American his tory. Prevailing prices In Salem will range from 29 cents per pound to ou ana m cents lor best grades, trailers report. For the balance of the meal, some tendency may be noted to avoid to some extent, the richer foods, but this Is explained on the ground that mere is considerable temptation to eat quantities of nuts, candies, and similar confections, whenever the desire Is felt, and the dinner should consist to some extent of wholesome fruits and vegetables sufficient to offset possible unpleasant effects of wo ncn iooa. Tuna cocktail is not arbitrary, but may oe sunsututed bv anv sea food. or light soup. If fruit is desired, it win appear evident that some wise substitution of pudding, cake or pie could be made in the dessert course, to avoid too much similarity in courses. A desirable substitution of some form of cabbage, asparagus, or some other good vegetable may be made for cauliflower, which is rather high in the local market, about me dium heads averaging 25 cents each. Cranberries show little change. I except in nominal instances, retail-, i ing at 25 cents per pound and two xor 4t cents. Pineapple whip, while It may be made either as a rich dessert or fruity enough to classify as a glori fied salad, may be made successful, ly. as follows: Soak one box of gel atin in one-half cup of milk half an nour. neat pint ot cream suit, and add cup of sugar. Heat milk and gelatin and mix witn cream. Add can ol chopped or crushed pine apple as desired, also the juice if desired. Add chopped marshmel lows and walnuts as desired. Let cool and serve. This will stand sev eral hours, however. This recipe may make a little more than is desired for eight people, but it retains its attractiveness until the next meat It is believed that 50 cents worth of salted almonds will satisfy the after- dinner desires of the average group of eight, although any quan tity or kind may be used.
