may be no heartbreaking denials, for

especially the slowly convalescent.
every disappointment becomes magni-
fed to mountain of distress And it
is surprising how very simple menu
may hold, concealed to the layman, the
most disastrous combinations for that
particular patient.

One great advantage In the individ-
ual dinner Is that the invalid need not
wait and may be served without watt
ing while others are enjoying them
selves. A plump squad or young
chicken, already sliced, but apparently
whole, with dashing crimson bows on
its leg. may symbolic the turkey. The
cranberry sauce may appear as star
In the center of the mashed potatoes,
appreciate the space and the lightness
of one dish less when two can be COM
bined.
1t is an excellent plan to have a
small sized table, covered with-a white
cloth and decorated with the greens,
on which the presents may be arrang-
ed for Christmas morning and later In
the day used for serving. Here should
be placed a supply of table silver and
extra plates. so that everything re-
quired will be at hand, and, again, the
tray will be lighter.
Each dish should bear a sprig OF hol-
ly, and the sandwich. with any par
ticular filing. should bear a star OF
currant or cranberry jelly. This same
idea may be used for little Christmas
cakes, with filling of jelly and jelly
star on the white frosted top.
For the salad there is a tree of crisp
lettuce leaves, through which Is thrust
a skewer STAINED with brown gravy or
beef juice as the tree trunk. This
tree trunk is supported by two slices Of
toasted bread, with filing of nuts
and mayonnaise. All through the tree
between the leaves are bright bits of
vegetables, such as carrots. beets and
peas, to form a vegetable salad. or. If
fruit salad Is preferred. bits OF apple.
haIved grapes and nuts and celery may
furnish the decorations OF the tree
French or mayonnaise dressing may
be served separately and the filing
omitted from the bread.
Illustrated is pretty salad for the
invalid tray. Preserved cherries are
selected and pecans thrust into the
center of each one when they are ar
ranged temptingly upon plate

COUNTY Officials
without SALARY
County Cannot Meet Pay
roll For Month of
February
SMALL WAGES ARE
TO BE FIRST PAID

Disappointment is depicted on the
countenances of many of the county
officials today on account of New Cas-
tie county being unable to meet the
payroll for the month of February.
The county had about $4,000 and IT
requires $4,000 more to meet the pay
roll
The payroll was passed yesterday
and the county officials worked late
last night 10 have the checks ready for
distribution today.
70 was decided to start at the bot
tom OF the ladder and go up SO that
the small salaries would be paid first
and so on as far as the money went.
The officials in the several offices
in the courthouse will be among those
10 whom the checks will not come
this month. The question of borrow
ing money TO tide over the crisis or
to get an overdraft had been consider
ed fully but still no arrangement can
be reached.

JACOBY'S sale Opens
With Rush OF BUYERS

Thousands Of women are availing
themselves of the many opportunities
offered in Jacoby's "Clear the Conn
ters Sale" which began yesterday, to
continue for fifteen days. This sale
marks an epoch in the history of this
store, Nos. 224-226 Market street It
is tremendous in its scope and equally
great because of the ruthless manner
in which prices have been slashed
The management of the store states
that in many instances the merchan-
disc offered has been cut down way
below actual cost to the manufac-
turers.
The opening of the sale yesterday
was marked by a rush of bargain
seekers and the crowds kept coming
and going all day. Even the inclem-
ent weather of today did not keep the
economical housewife back.
In this sale are offered thousands of
dollars worth of suits. coats, dresses.
skirts, shirtwaists. domestics, muslin
underwear. mems and womens fur
nishings and many other articles.
The various departments are well
filled and the goods are attractively
displayed. Those who would have
the pick of the hundreds of bargains
offered should not delay their visit to
the store, as every day the stock will
grow less. The management states
that 1T is sale to move merchan-
disc and not a sale for profits"
