q THE
b CHRISTMAS DINNER

In England, where we derive our
Christmas customs, the turkey is not,
as in this country, a "must-havc' for II
Christmas feast. The roast beef OF
old England, with its regulation ac'
compartment of Yorkshire pudding,
fanked by a savory roast goose, is the
crOwning dish of the event. Occasion
ally one finds in an American family
of English extraction the old customs
live on, and a menu is served that is
reminiscent of old-time entertainment.
An English dinner is undeniably good,
and if one longs for change from
turkey and pumpkin pie, an American
lied English menu will not be diSap-
pointing. Following is typical dinner
of this order:
Consomme Bread sticks
Olives Sailed almonds
Fried smelts Shrimp sauce
Roast beef Yorkshire pudding
Mashed potatoes Celery
Roast goose Apple sauce
Lettuce salad
Plum puddjngs
Waters Cheese
Caic noir.
Good housekeeping.
