Inverted Snifters
Decoration Base
Inverted snifters and goblets
may be used for appealing
Christmas decorations, says the
Society of American Florists.
One suggestion is an inverted
clear glass snifter, housing an
angel figure, with red roses,
eucalytus and a red candle atop
the snifter. Another thought is
the use of an inverted colored
goblet as a perch for red carna
tions, a red candle and some
artificial grapes.
Roast Almonds in Soy
Dark, shiny, mysterious soy
roasted almonds make a glam
orous gift as well as an attrac
tive appetizer. The recipe comes
from the Gas Appliance Manu
facturers Association. Roast 4
cups blanched almonds (Hi
pounds) in a gas oven, preheat'
ed to 400 degrees for 15 minutes.
Stir occasionally. Then add
cup butter and ' cup soy sauce
and stir. Roast 12 to 15 min
utes longer, stirring until nuts
are coated and fairly dry.
Great for Christmas giving!

No one knows how the ancient
Indians worked their way from
the word "five" to the idea of
punch. But there are a lot of
theories.
Some claim it stood for the
five ingredients of punch hot,

Poinettia Plant
Is Traditional
For Christmas
Of all the beautiful flowering
plants available from florists
during the holiday season, prob
ably the one that carols "Merry
Christmas!" the clearest of ail
is the poinsettia. Rarely used
as a cut flower these plants,
with their shaggy darkly green

tea, sugar, water and lemon' d blossoms, truly come into
juice.
But regardless of what the
five stood for, punch still makes
the perfect holiday treat. Hot or
cold, it has a festive air that
is hard to beat.
In Colonial America, no so
cial gathering was complete
without its punch bowl. It held
water for christenings, set the
tempo for the wedding festivi
ties and was essential to the fin
al tribute paid at the funeral.
In the interim, it reigned over
house raisings, husking bees,
the timber rolling, the lottery
drawing and elections.
The father of the country.
George Washington, was a great
admirer of the punch bowl.
But he stood not alone. In his
time, and after. Americans and
Englishmen alike observed their
festive occasions around the
punch bowl.
to Dring puncn up to date,
the bowl has a place at the
patio barbecue as well as at the
formal open house. Clans gather
round the punch bowl at wed
dings, cookouts, christenings and
Christmas.
The big thing about punch
and even George Washington
must have known is lhat it
is economical. Punch goes a
long way. Large crowds can be
served quickly.
Another of the delichts of the
punch bowl is that there are
their own at Christmas
In some sections of the United
States Florida or Hawaii, for
example these delicate plants
grow rank and thick in the
warm sunshine, needing prac
tically no care to flourish and
bloom in hedgerows. In more
temporate climes, however, the
plants must be carefully nur
tured in greenhouses, for many
months, to come into their glory
(or the holidays.
The Society of American Flor
ists says plant culture has been
so carefully defined nowadays
that a florist can prophesy, al
most to the hour, when his poin
settia plants will bloom. Since
these plants are intertwined so
inseparably with holiday cheer
in most individual's minds, it
is hard to find poinsettias at any
other season of the year. They
are hot-house forced for the
Christmas tra.' only.
While the brightly crimson
blossoms are the most familiar
and by far the most closely
allied with the holidays poin
settias arc also available in a
delicate shade of off-ivory. Call
ed "white" by most florists,
they are actually the color of
rich cream. A hybrid plant has
been produced, too. by mating
the red and the "white." This
produces a soft, dainty pink
bloom which is extremely at
tractive if less traditional.

Decades after other countries,
manufacturers at last are hiring

clothes that may replace the
traditional "little dressmaker"
for the average woman.
New Designers
The Paris ready-to-wear trend
has several new young design
ers under the manufacturers'
wing, including women. One
man, Gerard Pipart, recently
was lured away to the high
fashion salon of Nina Micci, the
first such event in Paris.
Miss Khanh's clothes are not
only young and feminine but
full of fresh touches, some on
the wild side, that have swept
the mass market in Paris.
Her "look," known as " the
droop," harks bark to the M's,
