Carolers' Cookies Good
For Christmas Callers
Probably the most welcome
guests are Christmas carolers.
It is a rare household that
does not invite the carolers to
warm up with hot drinks and
a few snacks. For just such a
spontaneous occasion are
Carolers' Cookies. They are
richly blended with mince
meat, nuts and fruit, then
decorated with delicate frost
ing sprigs of holly.
CAROLERS'
COOKIES
Three and one-fourth cups
sifted, all-purpose flour; one
half teaspoon salt; one tea
spoon baking soda; one cup
shortening; one and one-half
cups sugar; three eggs, well
beaten; one package (9 oz.)
condensed mincemeat; one
half cup each chopped wal
nuts, cherries and dates.
Mix and sift the first three
ingredients. Cream shorten
ing. Add sugar gradually,
creaming until fluffy. Add
eggs one at a time, beating
well after each. Break mince
meat until small pieces; add

dates. Stir in flour mixture.

Santa Claus
Not Honored
In Home Town
Bari, Italy-IUPD-Santa Claus
does not stand a chance in his
own town.
To millions of children all
over the world, Santa Claus
is the jolly, bearded type who
brings presents by reindeer
express in time for Christmas
morning.
' But here in Bari, where the
bones of good Saint Nicholas
lie, the Feast of the Saint has
nothing to do with Christmas.
St. Nicholas Santa Claus,
from a corruption of the
Latin "Sanctus Nicolaus" is
revered in his last resting
place as the patron of chil
dren, penniless brides-to-be
seamen and prisoners.
Christmas day, at least in
Italy, is just another day for
the follwers of good St. Nick
His feast day is December 6
and the event is celebrated
with solemn ceremonies by
the children and adults in
Bari.
By tradition, Italian chil
dren get presents not from
Santa but from La Befana, an
old witch who can be nice
when she wants to. And not
on Christmas but in January.
On January 6, Befana
swoops in on her broomstick
to leave gifts for the good
children and coal for the bad
children.
Nicholas is revered as a
good and saintly man who
died in Asia Minor in the
fourth century. His bones
were brought here later and
placed in a vault under a sil
ver altar in the church that
bears his name.

Children Can Help With Cookies
Making cookies for Christ
mas is the most fun when it
is a family affair. Children
love the excitement of getting
ready for this important holi
day and they want to take
an active part in cookie mak
ing.
Family get-togethers for
Christmas baking are experi
ences remembered far longer
than dolls and other toys
when childhood is looked back
upon. Such occasions serve to
bring the spirit of Christmas
to the family group.
Children will enjoy press
ing the pecans on the butter
scotch pecan cookies shown
with these recipes. Or, they
will like to place the cut cook
ies on the baking sheets.
The Christmas tarts can be
varied with different kinds of
fillings, instant chocolate or
valilla pudding; prepared can
ned blueberry or cherry pie
filling, even cherry or rasp
berry jelly. A lemon filling
is delicious and the recipe for
this is given.
