m THE HOUSEHOLD.

Manu- for . Plain but Good American
Christmas Dinner.
An .xcrIlent Christmas dinner for refined
raonIs who know that the best eating b
fev dishes at q time, and those OF the mrs
quality, Is as follows:
First course-Raw oystsrs, half . dozen
upon each plate, with half lemon also 70
each plate; salt, pepper and glass OF nice.
crisp celery and some Olives; crackers ana
butter, or cold, light rolls and butter.
Second course-Remove the oyster plates,
squeezed lemons and all, leaving the celery
and olives. Then bring on your roast
turkey. cranberry sauce and vegetables.
Mashed potatoes, succotash and stewed
tomatoes win be quite enough. The potatoes
should be beaten up with fork II there b
not In the household one Of those nav fash
toned wire potato beaters Potatoes beaten
to a creamy pulp are much lighter than those
mashed with q FOUNDER. Dress them richly
with cream and butter. The potatoes and
cranberries may be served upon the dinner
plates, tho tomatoes and sucootash upon sauce
dishes. Add 70 the articles already mem
toned a lettuce salad, with made dressing
Of oil, vinegar, pepper, salt, mustard egg
and little sugar. That Is quite sufficient Tor
the heavy and main course Americans,
whether they own to it or not, usually Like
their coffee with their food, and there Is no
reason why they should not have 1t, unless
thew wish to DO fashionable In that case
they will put it of till after the main part Of
the dinner Is eaten.
After the turkey is dispatched take away
all his remains Don't leave anything upon
the table that suggests grease and half eaten
food. These things removed and the table
cleared, bring on the mince pie piping hot
After that one or two kinds Of fruit Then
nuts, raisins and coffee. Tall dishes OF can
dies in bright colored wrappers, with notices
inside, amuse the young folk and look pretty
upon the table. They may be dived into at
nut and raisin time But 1t Is simply "horrid'
and altogether unbearabls to poke ones
fingers into fruits, nuts and raisins and can
dies before the time for eating them comes
No decent person will do that
We have here outlined plain American
dinner, and very good one it Ii, too.

liked with short dresses, covering them COM
pletely, while for trained skirts these ele-
giant wraps have the back short, leaving the
train free, while the fronts are long, reaching
to the foot, and on these fronts the trimming
is most elaborate embroidery. Plush Of rich

Nominated-Form of Ballot Paper Used
at the Polling Stations-Regulations.
Cost of an Election.
In a recent number Of his magazine,
The North American Review, MI Thorn
dixie Rile describes the present system or
balloting in England, and contends that
with suitable notifications it should be
adopted III this country, for he regards
our methods OF voting as corrupt and de-
grading.
The English system was established by
what is generally known as the ballot
act Of 1872 and is based on the methods
which have been used in the Australian
colonies for a quarter of century and
mole. IN the first place candidates Tor
parliament are nominated in writing by
two registered electors of the county or
borough and with the written assent OF
eight other electors. This nomination
paper" must be delivered TO the returning
officer by the candidate or his propOser or
seconder in person, and that official is re-
auired to publish the names of candidates.
The ballot paper" consists OF paper
containing the names and descriptions or
the candidates, and on the back OF each
ballot is printed a number, which is also
printed on the face of counterfeit at
tached to it.
At the time of voting the ballot paper
must be marked on both sides with an
official mark, and delivered within the
polling station to the voter, whose num-
Der on the register of voters is required to
be marked OIL the counterfeit. To make
this description clearer Mr.. Rice gives
this as specimen of ballot paper:
