Every country where the Christmas
holiday is recognized and every State
n the Union has some particular cake
or which it has more than local fame.
For instance, there are the Italian
pastes, the gay French and German
cakes and the English loaf cakes, each
in its turn worthy of housewifely atten-
ion. Here are recipes for some Of them:
Virginia Walnut Cakes.

hey are shelled, allow l cupful Of sugar

cold slip them of. At serving time pile
high in a pretty silver dish.
Christmas Cookies.
Cookies that have a genuine holiday
flavor are made by combining chocolate
and fruit havors. They can be trusted
to find favor with the young people at
least. The proportions given will make
a fair quantity, but they can be doubled
