We've sinv mered most of them down to paragraphs for quick reading for which we hope you will give thanks. Table Arrangements Colorful fruits, vegetables and nuts in combination with fall foliage from the yard lend themselves to infinite variety in arrangements for table, buf fet and other areas. -A mound of shiny red ap ples, the gold and russet of winter pears or mixed fruits with a pomegranate or two, some persimmons, tangerines or even a small melon tucked in. Arrange on nest of color ful leaves, barberry, bitter sweet or contoneasler and sprinkle with assorted nuts or arrange a cranberry garland. -If your table Is long, a flat garland of alternating green and deep blue-purple grapes will prove exciting. Or do it entirely in green tones or bronze tones. -Scoop out a pumpkin or Hubbard or banana squash and fill to overflowing with mixed fruits and vegetables with nuts sprinkled over all. -A wooden bowl piled with assorted small gourds and green peppers around. a deep purple eggplant seems a good idea as a beginning with red berried foliage tucked in. Turkey Reminders When turkey is cooked, serve it promptly or cool quickly and alore in refriger ator at 35 to 40 degrees. Be very sure to cool turkey thor , oughly before placing in re frigerator. Do not hold for more than two days after cooking. When serving turkey, do not leave it at room temper ature or on a hot stove more than an hour. Cooked turkey and turkey dishes when warm, spoil quickly. Cool left over portions of turkey or tur key dishes quickly and put them in the refrigerator. Do not keep turkey dishes such as creamed turkey more than one day before using them. Turkey Sandwich Secret Many people insist that they toast turkey just so they can have all the turkey sand' wlches they want. Certain it is that few things If any make finer eating than slabs of cold turkey meat between slices of fresh snowy white bread. This is one place where white bread is completely satisfying. Just have on hand plenty of bread, butter, mayonnaise salt and pepper and you re all set for magic meals andor refrigerator raiders through out the week end. Secret of turkey sandwiches is the salt- ' ing and peppering of each and every sandwich as you're making it. Plenty of cranber ' ry sauce, of course. First Aid to Carvers If you're a turkey garnish- er, that's fine. Doll the bird up all you like for that first memorable impression. But . . . have a good size plate or platter convenient so the head of the house can remove the garnishments and clear the platter tor action.
