SECTION C for any sweet bread, coffee cake, petit four or cup cakes. Chrishrai Salad The popularity of molded salads in our area probably exceeds that of any other part of the country. They can be made so attractively, so easily and with such a flair for color, design as well as flavor. We've dreamed up a holiday special that features the green of avocado and the red of sweet pepper (or pi miento) combined with cit rus fruit Juices in a mold with unflavored gelatine for 8 to 10 servings. i large red sweet pepper or 1 canned pimiento 3 envelopes unflavored gelatine ?i cup fresh grapefruit juice l'i cups hot water 'a cup sugar 1 1 teaspoon salt 'i cup fresh lemon Juice 1 cup fresh orange juice 2 cups avocado puree (about 2 ripe avocados) If you use the fresh red sweet pepper, cook it in boil ing water to cover for five minutes or so until it is ten der, yet firm; remove from water and cover with cold water and let stand until pepper is cold. Drain off wa ter and pat pepper dry. Whether you use fresh red pepper or a canned pimiento, place it on a board, glossy side next to board and cut out a star or other holiday design with cooky cutter or by hand. Place on center of the bottom of an oiled six cup star-shaped (or other) mold, glossy side down. Set aside until gelatine mixture is prepared. Soften gelatine in grape fruit juice; add hot water, sugar and salt. Stir until dis solved. Blend in lemon and orange Juices. Pour Just enough of this mixture into the previously prepared mold to cover the red pepper star. Chill until firm. Refrigerate the remaining gelatine until it begins to thicken. Fold in avocado puree. Add some of the red pepper or pimiento trim mings, finely chopped if you like. Fill salad mold; chill until firm and ready to serve. Just before serving, turn onto a serving plate. Garnish in any desired way. Serve with mayonnaise or dairy sour cream, if desired.

It's all done with gelatine in any favored mold offered on your fanciest snow white plate with appropriate decorations. The recipe is included in today's food column. Eggnog Synonomous With Holiday Hospitality Time was, in Merrie Olde England, when eggnog was served only before breakfast and again before dinner on Christmas. Now It is served at any hour throughout the holiday season and beginning right now. Many homes main tain "open house" with relays of ladlers presiding at the eggnog bowl. Teen-age sons and daughters love to give eggnog parties. The younger-than-teenagers will rejoice in a special set-up on a sep arate table. A cut glass or silver punch bowl is very handsome but eggnog tastes just as good from your very biggest mix ing bowl, appropriately deco rated. Or perhaps you have a prized soup tureen? Now is good time to show it off. Otherwise, a pitcher for pour ing is perfectly fine. Small glasses however are desira ble and can be bought if nec essary at the nearest ten cent store. Dairy Eggnog. Local dairies feature smooth, creamy egg nog in quart containers from now until New Year's; the skilled blending of quality in gredients ready for serving "as is" for combining with carbonated beverages for the younger generation, perhaps with "spirits" for some of the older generation. If your dairy products are home de livered, put your order in ahead of time to insure avail ability. Otherwise you can pick it up anytime at dairy department in local markets. For informal entertaining, y the buffet or any convenient table is fine. For formal en tertaining, the dining room of course is specially deco rated. Simple Accompaniments. Eggnog is rich and flavor packed. The usual canapes are definitely out, so resist temptation. Positively no dips, dunks or fancy tidbits. Thin slices of fruit cake or an as sortment of holiday cookies and salted nuts are tradition al and adequate. Spoons in the nut dishes, please. Coffee and tea are usually also avail able on a nearby table. Favored Spirits. Jamaica rum and brandy, proportions usually one rum to four bran dy are favored by southern ers though there are many in this part of the country who prefer the addition of bour bon. Among wines, sherry is the favored eggnog mixer. Eggnog Toppings. A sprin kling of freshly ground or freshly bought ground nut meg is traditional topping though some like a fleck of cinnamon or mace. This may be hostess-sprinkled or a shaker or grater handy in vites guests to top to taste. Glamour topping is achieved by sieving pulp of fresh pom egranate to extract the juice; float a spoonful of juice on each drink and spend eve ning explaining magic. Cheery Cherry Garnishes Maraschino cherries come in both red and green, (the red come with stems also) giv ing color, taste and texture drama to many holiday good ies. Glace'd cherries glisten. Alternate red and green maraschino cherries in ice tray compartments. Fill with water, ginger ale or other liquid. Use when frozen for flavoring and garnishing beverages. Decorate holiday cookies with red and green glace cherries. Use cookie cutters to shape cookies. Use cher ries as bright buttons for gin- j gerbread men, red noses for reindeer, centers for stars, ! lights for Christmas tree cookies and cakes. Give children's milk or egg-' nog holiday touch with a bit of red maraschino cherry juice and a red stem cherry j stuck through a red and white i striped straw. ! Dip red stem cherries in chocolate, marzipan or other j candy mixture. Use as decoration or filling ARMY FITNESS Chicago - OIPI) - The first physical conditioning meet ever held by a continental U.
