‘Grapefruit-Persimmon Salad.
"()/ courte uw bubin can enjoy Chrittmat <i/U.'
Dear II arid:
Of course. I’m disgusted. You’d
feel this wny too if folks said you
were too dumb to enjoy Christmas,
They say that we babies less than
a year old don't need presents be­
cause we can't appreciate them
anyway. The ideal
A lot of other babies are also com­
plaining about this attitude. Why,
we can talk better English than
most grown-ups.
"Dud iddy biddy baby want pretty
rattle-wattle? Daddikens will pick
it up from the floorsie-worsie for
oo"
Phoeyl If I couldn't talk better
than this I'd keep still. And then
they have the audacity to assume
that babies under one year are too
young to enjoy Christmas.
Last month we conducted a poll
among babies 12 months of age or
younger, asking them if they con­
sidered themselves capable of en­
joying Christmas.
Exactly 887 of the 1.000 babies
questioned replied emphatically in
the affirmative. The 13 who voted
"no" are going to be a year old
before Christmas and felt they
would have n better chance of get­
ting presents from relatives if their
younger cousins were left out But
that's a purely selfish motive and
doesn't affect the unanimity of the
poll.

able proof that babies enjoy Christ­
mas, don't rush out to buy us an
electric train or bicycle. After all,
we act our age even though we
know better.
There are lèverai points you

Early Puritans Forbid ‘Crime* of Celebrating Christmas
Celebrating Christmas was a
crime to the enrly Puritans in Mas­
sachusetts. The practice was looked
down upon with so much disfavor
that anyone observing the date was
fined five shillings.
On May 11,
1650, the general court in Boston
passed a law against Christmas cel­
ebrations which said:
“It is therefore ordered by this
court and the authority thereof that

then add spices and orange rind.
Going to a new restaurant for
lunch
Jones ordered brown
bread, The waitress brought him
white,
Jones, being a reserved
fellow, said nothing. The second
day he ordered brown and again
got white, This went on for a
week.
Then he decided that the only
way to get what he wanted was
to order the opposite. So he start­
ed the new week by adding to his
luncheon order :
"And bring me some white
bread."
"But,” exclaimed the girl,
aren't you the gentleman who
always has brown?”

Christmas gift problem for you in

The favorite cigarette is Camel.
The big favorite among smoking
tobaccos is Prince Albert, the Na­

actual sales records from service
stores in the Army, Navy, Marine
Corps, and Coast Guard. Local
dealers are featuring Camels in

packages, also pound tins and

The children will give you three

Steaming the Pudding.
Plum puddings are best when
served piping hot. This means they
should be steamed for at least 1(4-2
hours before serving. If the pudding
is in a mold cover with a lid or with
heavy waxed paper. Place on a rack
in a large kettle. Have about 2 inches
of water in the bottom of the kettle, ;
and have this water boiling all the !
while. More water may be added if
necessary. A double boiler or a
pressure cooker may also be used
to good advantage for steaming.
To serve, unmold the pudding and
garnish the platter with holly or
other leaves and bright berries.
LYNN SAYS:
Few holidays can offer you the
same decorative possibilities as
Christmas season, so make the
most of the evergreens, berries,
cones, candles, ornaments, and
rich colors.
Here are some centerpiece
ideas which would be effective:
Use a green wreath on a mir­
ror and fill with evergreen
branches dipped or sprayed with
white paint and place brightly
colored ornaments or fruits
among the branches.
Surround candles with pine
branches and cones and have sev­
eral small silver bells around the
base of the centerpiece as though
they came out of the branches.
Make a gingerbread house, frost
with a thin powdered sugar icing
and sprinkle with silver snow.
Set this on a mirror or surround
with spruce or pine branches and
cones.
