A cranberry and celery salad is thus
prepared: Select choice cranberries of
good size and cut each in about four
slices at right angles to the stem.
Chop inner blanched stalks of crisp
celery into slices a quarter of an inch

of cranberry and celery. but there
should not be more of the prepared
celery than of the cranberries. Season
separately or together. For a pint of
material mix a scant half teaspoonful
of salt, one-fourth of a teaspoonful of
paprika. four tablespoonfuls of olive
oil and one or two tablespoonful of
vinegar. Mix all together thoroughly.

Salads are an attractive addition to

vegetables are generally available at
this season and give a special relish to
the Christmas fare.
Fruit salads are equally desirable,
but are not so generally popular as the
vegetable combinations.
Two nice salads are suggested by the
Boston Cooking School Magazine One
of these is an egg salad made thus:
For one large or two small portions
there are needed two half inch thick
slices of a good sized tomato, one ten

and two tahlespoonfuls of mayOnnaise

eagerly, and all could hardly wait un-
til be had opened the basket, spread
the cloth and dished the dinner.
Thomas Jefferson was most particular
as to how he did this. Each plate
must contain an exact share of the
good things. Just so much turkey.
just so much sauce. just so many veg

enjoyment when a knock came at the
door
'I'n see who It's" said Thomas JEFF

1t was a very ragged boy that stood
in the doorway of the kitchen. Mis-

Thomas Jefferson's heart went out to
him.

Thomas Jefferson hesitated. His
nanny did not approve of giving to

Christmas for all good Christian men"
1t was an old carol, and Thomas JEFF
ferson had never given much thought
to the meaning of it before, but now
as he walked along with so many good
things the little fellow felt so grateful
that he longed to share his blessings
with some one less fortunate. The
woods seemed deserted. however, and
Thomas Jefferson reached his cabin
without meeting any one.

from the table and returned with it
empty. Then he set about helping the
pudding. When one is very hungry
and has ones mouth set for turkey and
substantial good things, even delicious
plum pudding does not quite satisfy.
But Thomas Jefferson, remembering
the carol. tried to imagine that he felt
quite full He did feel very glad to
have helped some one on this glad day
and so played with the new games all
afternoon with a right good will.
But the amount of corn bread and
bacon he devoured at supper time
made his nanny exclainl, well, it do

boys can eat after all that Christmas
