No other fosllvnl Is bo universally cele

quite such u Hplrlt of joyousness upart
from its own inherent reasons for joyous
ness. Century nftor century iootry nnd
nrt hit vo been ndilinu; to tho associations of
tlio Christ chlld'H ilay now ntul beautiful
coneoptiotm and nssocintlons moro than
making up for tlio Knidttul tlroinhiK oiT
of thu grosser traditions ntul tlell'?lita of
tlio Chrliilman of our ently l'nglisli an

llut If tlicro is less "wassail" tho tin
nual fcact Icnowti ns tho Christmas din
ner remain:! un interesting fcaturo in tho
programme of iho day'o celebration.
There is less novelty In modern Christ
mas faro than in nuy other yearly feast
except ThunltBglvitur. Tlio tlmo hon
ored mluco plo mules II rat as standard
Clulalmas dessert, nlthoiudi u real Kng
lish plum pudding may take its placo,
when both uro not provided. It is to tho
Haxonstliat wo nro indebted as tho orig
inators of tho fruity minco pit. Tlio
baxon kings nnd nobles nlwnys litid.n plo
upon their Christmas tables, noinctlmes
bo largo as to 1111 up tho width of tho
boaul. Tlicbo'wero often used as n
incann of presenting surprises in tho way
of gifts that wero hidden underneath tho
crust. To Biiclt exccsM wna tho minco
piu carried that Cromwell und his fol
lowers looked with horror upon it, and
tho Scotch and English I'rcuhytcriuna
adopted instead what thoy called plum
porridgo. nnd from this plum iorrldgo
was j'nuiually evolved tho English plum
pudding, which today Htaiuls as tho
gtent rival of tho minco pie.
In placo of tlio boar's head and ntout
sirloin, wo long ago adopted that national
bird, tho turkey, which in tho past fow
years has given ay in some households
to tho goose.
Tor tlio housekeeper it is nn nircenblo
fact that tho preparation for tho Christ
mas dinner can bo mado rso long in ml
vnnce. Tho apples for tho minco pies,
for instance, many cnrlv lx selected for
peeling, nnd tho fatted fioifcr hilled for
suet nnd meat. This relieve) tlio prepa
rations that under an circumstances will
pilo up nu Iho day approaches.
A standard receipt for nilnco pio3: Se
lect from tho round threoixiunds of beef
It Li best not to havo it fat and boll it
in water enough to cover it. Smoked
tonguo ij ti valuable ingredient to add
with less of tiio beef. Chop lino und mix
with it three pouudsof buet, four pounds
of tipple;!, four pounds stoned raisins,
two ounds of currants, ono pound of
citron, ti quarter of u 'xiitud each of
lomo:i and orango peel, tho juico of four
oranges und four lemons, four pounds of
coffco ougar, two grated nutmegs, a tea
spoonful each of ground cloves, ullsplce,
clnnnmo'.i, mace, pepcr und two table
Bpoonfulj of salt, cider enough to moisten.
Tho plum pudding may bo mado ready
also in advance nnd await tho glorious
day. Hero to a receipt which cannot bo
bettered: Stono n pound of rnfcinsnud
pour on them n lialf gill of brandy. Lay
on them two ounces of citron, and ono
each of candied orango and lemon peel
t licod, tho grated juico and rind of ono
orango nnd ono lemon, four ounces of
blanched almonds, n pound of currants,
a pound of cuct chopped, a jiound of
coflco i.ugnr, and tho interior of n baker's
loaf crumbed, mix well with grated wut
meg, n little cayenno nnd a teaspoonful
of salt. 1'our over a gill of Bhcrry and
Bet away in n cool place. Just beforo
boiling tlio pudding mid eight eggs and
unou'tli sweet cream to moisten it.
TJitd to Miss Corson's receipt, and bIio
says, "Now let all tho young ladies of
tlio liouso descend and in turn vigor
ously stir tho fruity compound for good
luck," Huttor tho wnter Unlit muldintr
mold, dust with Hour, and pack tho
pudding in, allowing n couple of Indies
for tlio pudding to swell. Ioil or steam
for ten hours, nnd do not open tho mold
until tho pudding to ready toservo. Just
beforo ticing boll ngain for two hours.
Just lieforo Bcrving pour over It n glass

Tlicro to ono thing wo havo not nil

than the poor man becauso he to rich. For
that reason tlicro Ij no uso of providing a
