THE BEE: OMAHA. SUNDAY. DECEMBER, .11, 1921. 5 B Christmas : Dinner ; Bv JANE EnniNOTOM A great turn of attainment may be put to service when it cornea to preparing hoi day dinneri. How much can be dcyie with unall attain- mnf? 4 Wm mQu iuiMi A t mntii 4 ureal deal in this day and generation, when . j . t . . . layori ana iiirximat pies both mince and meat plum puddings, and fruit rake niatr ri mirrha.H nt An and the same shop,- along with tiny i j i . . canuics ana simosi every son 01 icnicKKnacK or a noiuiay sort. Fruit CAcktails, and all the endless rensncs wmcn we mtgnt introduce, are but more or less entertaining tutu?, miivivi uv reuses arc givcu below for them. In onr-jl cost more than they come to, and are not as goon aicieucaiiy as the fringed and chilled celery, or the radish flowers, neither of which has caloriei to speak of but which list with hors d'oeuvres in spite of their extreme simplicity. Ripe olives have more calorics than celery and rad ishes and when well chilled are high ly acceptable as a relish. Salted nuts should never be used with a big din ner, becauhe they make.it so. much biRger, contaning, as they do, more calories per given bulk than almost any viand or dainty on the bill. In choosing to make our Christ mas table colorful, we may get beau tiful greens in vegetables, if we will but cook them correctly. The green of the pistachio nut may be used for icings, ices, and cake garnishings. For the Christmas red there is the jiimento and the cinnamon drops. Roast Goose. After regularly singeing, scrub bing, and washing a goose, scrape the surface with a small and not too sharp knife. The young ' goose is most often cooked like game, with only a celery and onion in its . pouch. The older goose may be stuffed, but. undoubtedly the best stuffing is one of meat veal and some pork pounded to a cream and seasoned. ' ' " A fine flavored mashed potato, mixed with a little finely chopped onion, may be put in under the apron and fastened in with the trussing. It must be fastened in, for a potato stuffing is one that most readily boils out. ; A bed of vegetables may be used under the goose for seasoning the basting liquid. Some hot butter may be poured over it at the start, or, when the goose is exceedingly fat, some hot water only. Baste every fifteen minutes until tender in an evenly solid heat. Apple Sauce. v The goose is universally served with apple sauce unsweetened or an apple puree. Perhaps a firte green ing apple, makes the best sauce for this purpose. Wash, peel, quarter, core, and cut each quarter in thin slices. Just cover with boiling water and cook up quickly with a cover over saucepan. Whip up apple as it softens and when done put through a strainer and serve in a. gravy oat. 1 Brussels Sprouts. Remove the yellow or broken leaves, wash, parboil, then stew a box of Brussels sprouts in two ounces of butter. If the fire is kept low they will remain as green as grass and be ideally cooked. 1 , "" Mince Pie Meat. . . For four pies two pounds of boil ing beef, three to six pounds of ap ples, one pound of raisins, one cup of white or. brown sugar o sugar to taste and according to amount of sweet fruits used one ,cup of cider boiled down a half, and spices such as cinnamon, cloves, ginger, allspice, and nutmeg in small proportions. Half a cup of home candied citron chopped fine adds a delicate flavor and other candied fruit may be used. Boil meat, remove skin and gristle, and chop. Pare, core, and chop ap ples. Seed and chop raisins or use seedless raisins. Cook the whole to gether, bringing it to the boilmg point and tasting, when more sweet ening or more of sour can be added. When the pies are to be served hot. as they usually are, half as much chopped suet as raisins may be added before th? mincemeat is cooked. But ter in a smaller proportion may be used instead. The pie deservedly has a reputa tion for be'ng hard to digest, and the addition of suet makes a good sized triangle of it equal to a whole meal, as far as calories are concerned, therefore undesirable at the end of a meal of many items and other foods rich in fats. It is often the one thing too much or one of several things too many. ( . Frozen Pudding. An ,V. ivtiiYVi mav well substitute for the heavy plum pudding, or the fruit cake may be made as follows: Thicken one pint of milk with one j tablespoon of flour and add one-half j teaspoon of salt, one-fourth cup of sugar, and one-fourth pup of sorghum, and cook. One-fourth cup of chopped raisins may be cooked in the milk or added with the nuts. When the milk has cooked and thick ened, add to it the beaten yolks of two eggs and cook for a minute or a bit more. Take from stove and cool, and when partly cc-oled add the rais ins, if not put in earlier, and a fourth of a cup of chopped nuts. A washed fig, chopped, adds quality. Freeze like any ice cream. Enough for - Serving Ice Cream Cream sweetened, flavored and frozen makes the finest of ice creams. It may be whipped and simply packed in ice and salt and frozen. Then the mold must have a tight fitting cover, and it is best to cover the whipped and flavored cream with a piece of buttered white writing paper before putting on the cover. This may be served like any brick or mold of cream, bue when the cream is frozen in a regulation freezer one nice way to serve it is to heap it into a chilled glass gowl from which it is spooned out. Have, if you choose, another bowl with whipped cream to serve ' over the ice cream and perhaps m a third with bits of candied fruit to add as a garnish to each portion. Orange Ice. Perhaps there is hardly a pret tier and more gratifying ice than the following: 1 Wash an orange or as many as yoa like. Grate off the . yellow peel only, mix in it one tablespoon of suear, and let stand over night In the morning add the juice from the orange and train through a cheesecloth, Add FASHIONS BLUEBGDIC Veldyna is al most at' thorough a an Ertglish rain. It's blowing in on all tides, arid it has the undiicrim inating choice of direction charac teristic of this ele ment. Most certainly is falling alike upon grandmother and her grandchild. Indeed, the coat for the young per son has perhaps benefited more from this fabric than has the adult wrap. The above shows one of the late models for a girl from to 12 car ried out in navy blue veldyne em broidered with gray angora and trimmed with gray squirrel. It is im mediately evident from this model how much entitled the young person is to share in the privileges of the armhole which is extended to the waistline By Cor inne Lowe. U 'iUi miiiiiivihium i dWr WM ... y " the whole to a sirup of one cup of sugar and one-half cup of water which has been cooked for five min utes. The juice of two more oranges may be added and the whole frozen. When the grated skin is thus used it is not necessary to add lemon juice, and the ice will th.eretore be more delicate. There are many pretty ways of serving this in orange skins or over a whole orange with all its carpels separated and spread out like a great lily. ' Work smooth oqe small cream cheese. Beat into it French dress ing to which a little onion juice and chopped parsley have been added. A delicious dressing. Attention, Santa! Tan gloves are made with cut work cuffs over white, o that white shows through in circles and crescents. Silk embroidery in the same color is used on broadcloth in some of the new coats. Gray and black continue to be one of the smartest of smart French color combinations. Lovely boudoir slippers are made with flaring ostrich fringe around the upper edge and others with ostrich pompons on the toe. Bronze toilet articles are being im ported from Paris for the up-to-date dressing tabic. r- f Gifts to Fill Every List Gifts for Men Knife and Chain .$5.00 Cigaret Caies in thin model 2.50 Cigaret Cases, sterling .......15.00 Cuff Link, gold filled, "No-Fuss". ........ . . 2.50 Cuff Links, solid gold engraved , . . . . 10.00 Gifts for Women .

The old rule was that one should never pay more than one-quarter of hit income for rent Many person have been forced to discard this rule during the present period of exorbi tant renU, but you should keep at close to the rule as possible. If you own your own home, do you know what the cost of your house really amounts to--the taxes, repairs, interest on your investment, insurance, etc? Do you know what you spend on food a week? Do vou know how much you need for your own clothes a year? If you own a car, do you know what it costs a week to run it? Perhaps you are one of those women who feel that even a maidless existence would be a pleasure if you owned and ran your own little auto mobile. You have ambitions in that way. Have you ever figured out about how much it would cost to run the type of car you have in mind? Do you know, how much you are spending on the education and gen eral intellectual development of your children each year? Is the amount when you figure it out a generous one compared with your total in Do you know how much you spend on theater tickets and other amusements? How much on books or music? Some women could not answer any one of these questions, even if they were given time to consult account 1 books and records, borne women who keep elaborate accounts could not get together the answers, and other women who never keep definite accounts could give an approximate answer to the Question, snowing that they have a mind to expense in general though perhaps not to the detail. You may regard yourself as t care ful spender, as a conserver of your income, but you may be sure that unless you occasionally figure out your expense In some way, so that answering these question would be possible, you are lar trom being a , perfect household financier. Baked Potato Caution. Some cautions of the domestic sci ence teachers on this subject are: "Don't have your oven too hot Do'n't have different sized potatoes.. Don't delay in getting them in they re fuse to be hurried along toward the last. Don't fail to allow 45 minutes to an hour for a medium sized six- ounce potato. Don't pick too big potatoes. Don t put them in the oven dripping with cold water. Don't plan to serve them as a second course nt a dinner it is difficult to time them just right use them in the firset course in a lunch or supper.
