No TURKEY STUFFING !?
Christmas Dinner Incomplete With
out This OF d-F ashioned Addition,

The latest and most obnoxious
crank In tn gastronomic line is that
deluded epicure who asserts that
Christmas turkey must be served
without ''stuffing." He says it is an
anomaly, Il thing without reason, an
insult to the completeness of the
bird. He even declares that it de-
tracts from the sweet flavor and deli:
Thus he thrusts himself into the pub
Ii" arena. a most unwelcome butter
in," striving to accomplish the down
fall of an historic institution. He is
not true American. He has never
tasted 'stuffing as mother made IT,
the real Simon-pure article, spooned
out of the deep recesses of the royal
bird in great crumbly masses that fill
the room with rich aroma and the
heart of man, woman and child with
joy uncOntined.
1t is the soul of the turkey, is stuff.
ing. With the bird itself one Is al
ways bothered about what part he
will have-whether white meat OF
dark; whether wing. thigh, or a
drumstick; whether the wish-bone,
the liver. or "the part that went over
the fence last" but for the stuffing
American sentiment is universal.
The only question is: How much does
one dare TO eat? And then that en-.
trancing. sagey odor. from the mys-
terious ''yarbs" that enter into the max
ing-as sweet as the summer breezes
over new mown hay-as delicate ms
the fragrance of orange blossoms on
a wedding day. And perchance. In
addition. we shall catch the sublime
suggestion of an onion, waited into
our quivering nostrils. and recalling
some dear departed maternal spirit
who minstered to our boyish wants
in days of yore.
Turkey straight. without stuffingi
Not while there is breath to sound q
protest. 1t is the mission of civiliza-
ton to mix with naked nature the
toothsome miscellany of tradition; to
blend the work of nature and man;
to sweeten with our best endeavor
the plain blessings of an all-Wise
Providence. That's what gave us
"stuffing:" and until the heart of man
grows cold,-until the race loses Its
teeth and lives on pills and tablets
and predigested pap, its multitudes
will insist on turkey as mother served
it. Down with theories. Give us
stuffing or take the turkey back.

Grown at Gardiner Hubbard Mansion
It was originated by Peter Bissett,
and will be put on the market by
Florist f. H. Kramer. of Washington.
Bissett is the head gardener of Mrs.
Gardiner Hubbard, the widow of the
late Gardiner Hubbard, at one time
president of the National Geographic
Society. She is the mother-in-law of
Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor
of the telephone. The new rose was
produced at her beautiful suburban
residence, Twin Oaks, just outside of
the national capital.
The leading florists of the country
have known of the existence of this
rose for n year and have made various
tempting offers for it. but it remained
for Florist Kramer to offer 100000
and finally secure the beauty.
Such fabulous sum for a rose
seems insignificant. however. when ii
is remembered that but few years
ago Thomas Lawson of "FrenZied FL
nance" fame paid $4,000 for a mere
carnation. while the greater amount
of $125.OoO was expended for the "f'i-
ancee'' carnaton. 1t is hinted that
Mr.. Lawson cleaned up over 100000
out of the Lawson pink and the buy

doubled the amount expended.
