At the beginning of the war five
Finnish ships were at anchor at Aab-
enraa and they were captured by the
German authorities. The crews were
kept at their own expense as long as
they had money. But when their funds
were exhausted they were simply sent
across the Danish border line. A re-
port was sent to the Russian con-
sulate at Copenhagen and the men
were finally cared for at the expense
of the, Russian government.

The Danish government is making
representations to the British gov

for this disposition of the gift. I had had the happiness of receiving it. as mJ friend had had of giving it. and knew Il would have made her glad to know tha some one besides myself was blessed bj her selection of a lovely picture.
 A friend of mine who does not keel house has received many bits of house| hold linen of which she could make nd use for herself-doilies, centerpieces, etc| She has so large store of these that sh} can easily spare an occasional item fot the collection of some one less blessed than herself, and she has far more pleas| ure in enriching the slender supply of q housekeeping friend than she could posi- sibly feel in hoarding the pieces for which she herself had no practical use.
 AS to the business of arranging youi , living rooms and putting your ornaments| etc. all on view. I think there is muclj to be said. If you go into one of th1 old fashioned rooms. of what we hav< come to call the mid-Victorian period, the prevailing sensation is usually on{ of clutter. Although one seldom meet1 now the old fashioned etagere or what| not there are still houses whereit exist1 as a gathering place for ornaments oj all kinds. When the " whatnot D is lack ing the mantel takes it's place, and if thi4 is supplied with upper shelves the bric-aI brac gathers here.
 If you will consider the question fol a moment you will see how little chanc@ good things have to make a show whelI they are crowded together like this. Nd one piece has an opportunity to displa ! it's merits because others of equal o} less value are pushed up against it and they withdraw your attention from on{ another. If there were four or fiv4 pieces ranged on the shelf instead of q dozen or more each one would have it4 chance to be seen.
 In the same way our pictures are hud died together on the walls. Instead o{ a good picture with enough space abou it to permit of our seeing it clearly. wd have a group, each impinging upon thd other. and we get only a confused idea of a bunch of pictures, none displaying itself to the best advantage
 Try thinning out your ornaments and pictures. Take down some of them and put them away for a while and see id you do not feel more enjoyment in those that are left. The Japanese give us| a good lesson in house decoration when they place only few really fine articles in their rooms at a time that you may savor the full beauty of each one.
 Another value of this plan is that i { permits you to introduce variety in tbt ! arrangement of your rooms. Leave ou { a certain set of things for a while. ther take them down, put them away, and substitute those that have been in re l tirement. Until you have tried this plan you have no idea how pleasing are it's effects.
 Let me hear from other housekeepers| both as to what they do with their SUI perfluous Christmas gifts and how they arrange their bric-a-brac. It will inter est us all.

Show me your bill of company! Yet at the same time We do not wish to neglect either the Dill of fare nor the manner in which It IS served. For myself I have always tound that the sort of dainty living that should be maintained in any household is the best preparation for entertaining guests. Live when the family is alone In such fashion that you need feel no apologies are necessary for the chance guest, and that more extensive entertain ing is merely widening of your ordinary methods.

LU WANT to give you a recipe for se what I call My Johns Favorite.
 It is a simple dish, but so good
 that we all enjoy it nearly as
 much as he does. 1t is made with canned salmon. l flake this apart, after turning it from the can into the bowl for half an hour, so that the close taste will go, and make about two cups of it after it is picked apart. Then 1 mix with it cup of fine bread crumbs, tablespoon of melted butter six or seven drops of onion juice. which l get by tearing the onion on a srater, two tablespoons of cream If I don't happen to have the cream l put in milk and use two tablespoons of butter instead of one], salt and pepper to taste. At the last l stir in two eggs beaten light, without separating the yolks and whites. Then when l have beaten the mixture hard I turn it into a brown bread tin lone of those with straight sides and a tightly fitting topl
 set it in kettle of boiling water and cook it steadily for an hour and half. When l take it out I plunge the mold for moment into cold water This loos- ems the fish from the sides and can turn it out on a hot plate without any trouble. I have good white sauce or a drawn but ter ready to pour over 1t. Sometimes l make a caper sauce. as I would for boiled mutton, using just a plain butter sauce with a tablespoon each of butter and flour and cup of boiling water cooking them until they are smooth and thick, and putting in tablespoon of capers. Or you may season the white sauce with anchovy paste or put a chopped hard boiled egg through it. Any way you do it it is good, and when my John sees it come on the table I tell him he just purrs. l wonder if some of the other Cornerites have hus- bands who have special food favorites wish knew what some of them are.

Of course. every man among them has his favorites. We would all like to know what they are and com pare notes on the subject. I am sure none of the Cornerites will take the ground assumed years ago by a woman knew.

heard of soaking fruit cake in brandy except as a means of softenng it when 1t became too hard to be eaten without some such treatment. Last spring ate cake twenty-five years old which had been made by the recipe just referred to and was served at silver wedding The good sized piece that had been saved from the first wedding supper was soaked in
 brandy until it had been softened enough to cut, but not until it became soggy. It was then iced and decorated by a confec- tioner and was one of the striking features of the collation. The length of time the cake is to be in soak must be decided by the judgment of the person undertaking the task. My own idea would be to pour on the brandy small amount at time, adding more as the first lot sinks in. Care must be taken not to put in so much that the cake becomes too soft, although it is

When you wish to increase your course begin your meal with an appetizer or fruit, or put in 2 fish course or an entree.

lJI AM in a funny sort of trouble and am, as usual, turning to the
 Corner for advice. Most of my
 @2thers have come from not hay
 Hg enough of things; this is from having loo much-or too many-of the wrong sort of things. And most of them are Christmas presents.
 This is the way it is. As you know, the hard times have made people econ- omize on their Christmas giving and every one who could make presents in- stead of buying them has done so and those who have bought them have select ed the least expensive gifts they could ind. Others appear to have given things they already had in the house I don't mean to seem ungrateful but the collec- ton of gifts l had this year made me laugh. I wished with all my heart that my friends had taken the advice you of fered and given me things I could use. like household linen-even dish towels would have been acceptable-or articles mat could be finished and done with, like flowers or fruit or candy or preserves.
 Instead of that l had lot of useless trif1es. Here are few of them: A pair
 
 several plaster casts, a couple of silk covered cologne bottles, half dozen paper weights, four burnt wood objects two of them panels, one vase holder and one bust stand. three silk covered pie ture frames that don't fit any picture I have. There are others but these will serve IS sample. You see, l belong to large family connection, all with the Christmas gift habit. and I have kept up the same custom with my friends.
 Now the question is: What am I to do with all these things? Nearly all of them represent love. however poorly it may pe expressed, and l can't bring my self to throw the gifts away. Some of them have tucked into a drawer with tf idea that some time I may bestow them where they will be more appreciated than in my home, but the rest of them still clutter up my little house. Not only do they interfere with the looks of my rooms. but they increase the work of dusting enormously. l keep only one maid and have two little children, so I have made the habit of simplifying my ornaments ss much as possible, and this sudden influx of such objects complicates things badly.
 If the truth were known 1 dn..t doubt there are many other housekeepers in the same position that :. am at present who would be helped5Dy such advice as beg. Can't you give us some counsel in the matter and perhaps at the same time advance a few. hints as to the arrange ment of t..e bric-a- brac with which go many oi our homes are crowded? Is it wise 10 have many things of this sort on Exhibition all the time? If you print my letter won't you ask some of the Cornerites what they do when they are in the same kind of place l am?
