RUB PEARLS FOR LUSTER
New York (U.R) Cuddle up
to the cultured pearls in your
jewelry collection. One of the
nation'3 leading manufacturers
of the cultured stones recom
mends that pearl rings, pins and
other accessories be . r u b b e d
briskly with the palm of the
hand. for a few seconds if you
want them to glisten. The manu
facturer says that contact with
the skin long has been known
to enhance pearls, and since
necklaces and bracelets touch
the wearer, this extra care is
necessary only for other pearl
studded jewelry.

Holiday entertaining is marvelous fun, and need not be expensive.
Schedule a Tree-Trimming Party, then invite the nicest people you
know. When the work's all done, call folks to a buffet table that
features this economical and most-eatable spaghetti casserole.
A million things to do in preparation for the big holiday . . .
nd only two hands to do them, you say? The only solution to that
problem is "more hands." Perhaps you can lure some unsuspecting
friends into helping you. '
Of course, you don't just invite people over "to work. You
invite them "for a party." In this instance, make it a Tree-Trimming-
Party. Set out all the ingredients tree, lights, tinsel, baubles
then start the show on the road. The mission will be accomplished
in no time, and you'll all Jiave fun in the process. ...
Nothing's more natural at a party than food. In this case, keep
it simple but make it good. A light buffet supper after the work s
all done seems just right, . wn.
For your contemplation, here is Tree-Trimmers Casserole. With
only six ingredients, it goes together in a hurry then bakes for
30 minutes, allowing you more time to help with the tinsel and
lights. With it, set out hearty helpings of your best tossed salad,
crssty bakery rolls, and a big carafe of coffee. For dessert, serve
an assortment of your-own-made Christmas cookies or Christmas
candies. What could be easier, or more fun ?

French Like Turkey, Chicken
For Family Christmas Dinner
By PRISCILLA BUCKLEY
United Press Correspondent
Paris (U.R) Early Christ
mas eve, all of Paris begins to
smell good -just like roast
turkey.
Lines form in front of bakeries
and from the ovens, which 364
days a year make mile on mile
of string-like loaves of bread,
the baker will bring out roast
turkeys ranging from the modest
six and eight-pounders to the
24-pound king-size model.
Most French homemakers find
their ovens too small to bake a
turkey, so they turn the job over
to a baker, who charges from 70
to 200 francs 20 to 57 cents
for the job.
Not all French families will
serve turkey. Chicken takes over
in cases where the family is
small, or finances are tight.
Typical of the small family
meal on Christmas will be that
served by Madame Emile De
spray, the concierge of the Villa
Sucher, in a residential section
of Paris.
She will cook for six ' her
husband, a postal clerk, their
daughter, Madame Despray's
mother, and her married sister
and brother-in-law. Her only son
is in the French army in Ger
many and won't get home for
Christmas.
Altogether, . she figures the
dinner plus the wines and cham
pagnes traditional of the holiday
will cost about $20.
The menu she has planned:
To start: hors d'ouevres sar
dines, cold cuts, tomatoes,
radishes, hard boiled eggs with
mayonnaise, pate, and shredded
celery all served with a bottle
of good white wine.
Next: a good fish. Mme. De
spray says it will be a channel
sole. Some oysters. More white
wine. . .
Then comes the roast chicken
served with straw potatoes
French fries cut thin. .
"We won't have any vege
table," said Madame Despray.
"Just a touch of watercress for
color. Because we will eat so
much that Christmas night."
A good bottle of burgundy
will be opened with the chicken
wine of a better quality than
the "vin ordinaire" the Desprays
drink the rest of the year.
. Then in rapid order will ap
pear a green salad, cheese, fruit,
ice cream and champagne.

Discarded Toys
Of Royal Tots -Go
To Hospital
, London (U.R) Small patients
in oneliondon hospital soon will
play with toys Prince Charles
and Princess Anne have enjoyed.
But the children won't know
they are from royalty.
Prince " Charles, heir to the
British throne, will be six years
old Nov. 14, and Nurse Light
body has been giving the royal
toy.chest a cleaning, in readiness
for the new birthday gifts.
Among the ; castoffs are
Charles' sailboat which he has
tired of floating on the lake at
Buckingham Palace, and Anne's
eld blue rabbit. None of Anne's
dolls will be given away. She
refuses to part with them, even
though she often prefers to play
with her brother's mechanical
toys. ; -
The discards will be repaired
and repainted by the palace staff
and sent' to the Great Ormond
St. Hospital for Children in
London. It is the hospital which
Sir James M. Barrie loved so
that he bequeathed it all royal
ties from his play, "Peter Pan."
No one at the hospital except the
matron, who is sworn to secrecy,
will know the source of sthe
playthings. Queen Elizabeth II
wants it that way.
The Queen never lets the chil
dren have too many toys at once,
lest they grow spoiled.

African Violets Pay
For Woman's Porch
Collinsville, Conn. (U.R)
African violets, which most ama
teur florists regard as hard to
grow, not only are a breeze hor
ticulturally for a Collinsville
woman: But they've put her in
business.
Mrs. Fred Sharp says the vio
lets grow fast and can provide a
source of extra spending money.
Four years ago, she was given
one plant. Today, they are grow
ing in nearly every room of her
home. She used to give them
away until a stranger asked her
to sell one. After that she was
in business.
So far money from sales have
paid for a new glass porch in ad
dition to all the essentials used
in raising the violets.
Mrs. Sharpe says with more
than a thousand varieties of afri
can violets on the market,
there's little chance of getting
tired of them.
CHRISTMAiWINDOW
Cut-outs of colored cellophane
can make a striking Christmas
design on your picture window,
says June Cabot, home arts con
sultant for Libbey-Owens-Ford.
Pictures of a tree,' a Santa
Claus or some other- familiar
figure will fasten to the window
with scotch tape or rubber ce
ment. Or,, if pictures are too dif
ficult, try designs of cubes, tri
angles, stars and other geometric
patterns. You can -even achieve
the textured look of patterned
glass by first crumpling the
cellophane.
Softening butter or margarine
fresh from the refrigerator can
be speeded up, and without the
waste of melting, if a bowl is
heated and placed over the but
ter for a few minutes.
