and business-like way of handling the
matter and on motion of Alderman
Larsen il was voted to allow twenty
five per cent of the fee to the collector.
The measure only carried by a narrow
margin, Aldermen Gallen and Ojala
voting no and Larson, Hosking and
O'Neill voting yes. AS an afterthought
il occurred 60 Mr.. Larsen to ask why
a policeman should get fifty cents for
collecting the license fee for n lady
dog; he didn't see that it was any
harder to collect for a two dollar" dog
than for dollar one. Alderman CAL

everything, even the turkey or duck.
may be prepared at least the day be-
fore.
She should bear in mind, that
whereas the heartiness of the Christ
mas dinner permits of the simplest
possible breakfast and supper, still
these meals should be carefully plan
ned and served with some attention
to the festal details that are often
lavished only on the dinner. The
breakfast table may have for les CEN

polished red apples, but q holly wreath

Boiled eggs may be served in nest

from the peppers they should be dust
ed with pepper and salt before the
eggs are broken into them, and a piece
