Cowboy Dolls, as well as cow boy suits, cater to the love of make-believe. Holiday Fruit Gake Once upon a time a fruit cake was made at holiday time In quanti ties large enough to last all winter. Whenever callers arrived they were always refreshed with a glass of wine and a slice of fruit cake, made by the special family recipe.

Homemade Jams Popular As Christmas Gifts, While most Jams are made early in the year, there are a number which can be made Just as well during the winter. As containers you may like to use small glass or pottery jars or the woven raffia con tainers, especially designed for jelly and jams. If small containers are chosen you may pack an assortment into a Christmas basket or box. Mint jelly, orange and grapefruit marmalades, prune and raisin con serve and apricot and pineapple marmalade, as well as oranberry and raisin conserve can all be made; at this time of year.

Jellies should be cooled before the hot par affin is poured oyer them, but thick er mixtures may be sealed at once. Remember the products should be labeled before you forget what they are.
