A speaker from Corvallls will be present, Blazing plum pudding has cen turies of tradition back of it and yet this Christmas delicacy Is development from a plum porridge which In some English households was served as a first course not much more than a century ago. During Cromwell's time the dis senters refused to eat either mince pie or pudding and It was probab Iy a number of years after the settlement of Now England that these desserts returned to the Purl tan table. Originally puddings were of course boiled In bags and were, therefore, of Irregular shape, a large puacung should be re- steamed In Its covered mold about an hour In order to be thoroughly heated. After it Is turned out of the mold, It should be covered with a high-proof brandy so that It will really blaze when set alight. In prohibition days.

J D f an try Patter well Of "rumors" that run to the put of all these absurdities, a letter engagement rings are no longer fashionable" is the final strawl Having a ring or not having a ring has nothing whatever to do with the validity of an engagement in the way that a wedding ring has to do with mar riage. A man does not say "With this ring I announce we are gaged"! Thousands of people engaged without rings but they can't very well get married without the wedding ring nor go to house keeping without furniture I The placing of an engagement ring on the finger of his best-beloved Is, is true, a treasured sentiment most people I But If money Is lack ing, the widespread fashion conspicuously large Jewels may be discouraging to those whose pocket- books cannot stretch beyond a soli taire that is Invisibly small. Another reason why It may be possible that engagement rings are bought less often than formerly (if this be true) is that there Is craze for a diamond band wedding ring. Since this costs much mor than a plain gold circle, many girls who can't have both rings pre fer to do without the engagement ring. Then too, there are a cer tain few very few who dislike rings and refuse to wear even wedding ring. But this is a per sonal ldlosynocrasy, not a fashlonl Family Loyalty Dear Mrs. Post: My sister has been separated from her husband but Is not divorced. The other day I was walking with her on the street when we passed some of her hus band's relatives. I have always been friendly to these people so I greet ed them and stopped a moment to exchange a few words. My sister smiled to them and walked on. Lat er she told me that I had hurt her very much by my disloyalty to her. Should I have snubbed these people because of her differences with them? Answer: To have bowed to them cordially would have been courtesy enough. Stopping to speak to them while your sister was forced to walk on alone was a strange Im pulse on your part certainly not akin to loyalty nor to good taste, China vs. Silver Dear Mrs. Post: If one does not have a silver tea service and wants to give a big tea party, what Uie next best? Is Answer: China can be quite lovely as silver. But you will have to have a big water kettle which, If not of sliver, has to be of metal, But perhaps you can borrow a big kettle from someone when you give this party.
