Tho Christmas Tree.

Who invented the Christmas tree?
Whence does 1t come? 1t is curious
fact that most Of the old chroniclers
have thrown veil of mystery around
the Christmas tree and make no at
tempt to explain lis origin.
1t has been stated that the tree came
to us from Egypt This legend Is well
prOpagated in old Irish and Welsh
fairy tales. The idea Is that in ancient
Egypt they used n slip Of the palm
tree with twelve shoots on it at GER
tain winter festivities. The tree SYM
bolized the year with its twelve
months. Certainly the Jews use the
fronds OF the palm tree at certain Of
their feasts even to this day.
Consequently any one who is equal
to the effort may believe that the mod
ern Christmas tree represents that
twelve shooted slip Of palm. Minds Of
less stalwart credulity may prefer to
trace the Christmas tree back to Ger
many only. where they had Christmas
trees long before they We're ever heard
Of in England or France.

Boiled Marshmallow lcinq.

Ingredients: Two-thirds of a cupful
Of granulated sugar, a quarter of cup
full of water, quarter Of pound Of
marshmallows. teaspOOnful of water
and teaspoonful of vanilla. Method:
Cut marshmallows into small pieces,
add the teaspoonful Of water, set in a
cup in q pan of hot water to dissolve,
put sugar and water over slow fire
in a small granite pan and let it boil.
Do not let it scorch, neither must you
stir too much or it will grain. In the
meantime beat the white with a re-
volving egg beaten until stiff. AS soon
as sugar spins thread when taken up
and poured back add slowly to the stiff
white, beating until it is beginning to
get stiff, then add the melted marsh
mallows and with fork beat until
stiff enough to apply to cake. A little
experience will teach you it is best to
pour icing on top and then tip cake I'M
til it has run toward the edge, then
with broad knife ice sides, and If other
ornamentation is wanted place halved
blanched almonds around edge.

Roast Goose.

Select young goose and avoid the
rank flavor and tough texture which
age always gives this fowl. Draw,
clean, SINCE and stuff with bread
crumb dressing. Pour cupful Of boil
ing water over it to cicatrice the skin
and keep in the juices. Roast, allow
ing twenty minutes to the pound, II
young. If Of uncertain age allow half
an hour to each pound and haste Of
ten with sailed water. Half an hour
before it is done dredge it lightly with
-four, haste with butter and water and
let it brown and crisp.
Throw cup Of cold water into the
liquor in the pan, which will cause the
grease to rise to the top. Skin it all
off very carefully. for, though goose
grease is valuable in the domestic
pharmacopoeia, it is neither palatable
nor wholesome. Thicker the gravy
with Drowned flour. add the giblets,
which cook with the goose. minced
very fine, boil up once and serve very
hot.

curing her smoking chimney. She did
nothing of the sort. buying instead the

When Paying a Call.

Winter Is the time of social fOrmali-
ty, and as an expression of courtesy
the call stands supreme. A formal call
should be paid between the hours Of 8
and $50 in the afternoon. You can
readily see the reason for this. as a
hostess must not be caught mapping"
and the caller should give her time to
finish any luncheon, nap or duties
around the home, and at the same time
a departure should be made that will
enable the hostess to prepare for din
ner.
1t Is permissible to make a morning
call that is not entirely social one.
A call that has for its object chart
table task, the inquiry after the health
Of one in the household or the investi-
CATION of a servants standing can be
made at convenient hour in the morn
ing. Do not make call Of this char
acter on the 'at home day, for this
entertainment demands extra duties
from the hostess, and she ought to be
undisturbed. This type of call is not
counted a social call and cannot be
made to pay off any social debts.
If a friend has a special day on
which she receives callers choose this
by all means. The issuing Of cards
stating the day and the hour will make
your calling list very simple thing.
Keep cards of this type and enter the
facts in little book.
If bride is in her new home and
has stated on her cards a social date
1t is discourteous to call before that
time. She may not be prepared to re-
ceive visitors Allow reasona BILE
! length OF time to elapse and make the
first call. In a neighborhood where IT
| Is the custom to call on newly arrived
residents there should be comforta-
BILE time given to allow Of settling In
the new home and an adjustment to
ones surroundings.
An unmarried woman should call on
matron first. and a younger woman
| pays the first call on the older one
without regard to the fact Of the for
mer's being married or single. The
best thing to do Is to acquaint yourself
| with the social customs Of the city OF
country in which you reside.
Now there are some calls that are

Baby stockings are such tiny things
that Santa Claus might fail to see
them at all as he bustles around in the
dark distributing his offerings to good
little children. Then they are so small
that they hold very little even when
stuffed to the utmost capacity. To
overcome both of these very important
objections the little girl in the picture
has hit upon very practical plan. She
will hang up mammals stocking and
write her name on it. This will fool
good old Santa Claus. He will proba-
bly, wonder how it is that such little
girls stocking will hold so much, but
his pack is full Of good things, and he
is always so jolly and good natured
that he will roar with laughter and fill
1t to the very top.
