Sauce for PUDDING.

If you want to have your Christmas
pudding genuine, you must not omit the
sauce, but make it by this recipe: Put
IN a small saucepan six egg yolks, four
ounces of sugar and a glass of sherry,
q lemon rind (rubbed) and two small
pieces of loaf sugar, a pinch of salt and
a pint of milk. Mix this well, put 1t
over slow fire, stir it briskly with an
egg whip until the sauce thickens and
IS trothy and white, pour some over
Lne. pudding and serve the rest in a
bowl. Do not let it heat too long or
it will curdle. When the pudding is
taken up, pour over gill of brandy
and set it on fire, carrying it alight to
the table.

rhe Etiauette OF christmas.

II is good form TO send gifts so that
they may be received within thTee or
four days OF Christmas day, but glIl
arriving the day after shows alter
thought or careleSsness. Upon recelV-
ing a. present from some unexpected
source or from some one not on our
list. II is not good form to hustle 10
send something back. it is better 70
write a note of thanks and wait until
another year 10 return the compliment.
Giving with the expectation Of get
ting something back is not good form.
Neither is it wise TO give the same
value in return or the same Kind o.
thing each year.
II A. seems best to give the same
thing every year-ior instance -
check or q roll OF money-uSe u niue
ingenuity in dressing it, or change the
value for the sake Of the surprise IL
viii carry.
A card should always accompany
every gift. but stilted words are out OF
style. A Merry Christmas" is su1il-
cient unless we can be dehghiullE
original. Those who give 10 the poor
may omit the card If they choose. This
Ss tbe occasion when anonymous COM
municat:ons are good form. Neither is
n necessary TO tabulate gifts TO chill
Gren. Let them enjoy Santa Claus just
as long as possible.
GIFTS among friends and relatives
should be selected with the utmost tact
cad delicacy. and those to the servants
should be chosen for the purpose q
giving pleasure. The unitarian aspect
should not always be paramount. A
creek or a new gown or an overcoat
may be given where the motives are
understood. but these should be con-
cealed in something frivolous The
true spirit of Christmas calls for the
unattainable. Give some hing to some
body, bat if possible let that something
be the very best thing that the scnle-
body cannot buy for ones sell. The
cift-should be q luxury rather than q
necessity be the unattainable, then let
the practical gift be snothered IN lux
ury or foolishness. If we give check

Quits.

Said a young and tsctIess husband
TO his inexperienced wife.
''If you should give up leading
Such a fashionable life
And devote more time to cooking,
How to mix and when to bake,
Then, perhaps. You might have pastry
Such as mother used to make
And the wife, resenting, answered:
For the worm will turn, you know;
IF you would give up horses
And a score OF clubs or SO
To devote more time to business.
When to buy and what to stake,
Then, perhaps, YOU might have money
Such as father used to make"

Mourning Too DESTINATIONS.

Whoever inspired the epigram, Be
ware of the sincerity Of too fashionable
mourning" 1t certainly applied to a
youthful widow seen on Broadway a
few days ago.
Gowned In the habiliments OF deep
est mourning, wearing q long crepe
veil which nearly swept the ground,
and exhibiting a'costume With paris
written all ,oveEnit, with sad brown
eyes she looked piaintively out as II
In protest that the world should still
move or that any one should be happy
when she was not.4
But the offectasof the soulful glance
was married by the color In her cheeks
which nature never gave, and by the
fat pudgy pug which she carried be-
meath her arm, its head resting on q
chic muff of rnfiled crepe.
The crepe, the paint and tho pug
seemed to impress all beholders alike
and with one accord youth and old age
stopped deliberately and watched the

the street.--New York Sun.
