tizer is often tempting. Grapefruit In
any form, in its own shell, garnished
with a maraschIno cherry, or cut In
dice, and served In cups or mixed with
little orange or pineapple, is always
good. Diced pineapple, with sugar

Then there are the various sorts OF
canspes-tiny strips OF toast spread
with some fruit titbit. Any Of the fish
pastes can be used and garnished with
sliced hard-boiled egg or sliced olives.
flashed leftover meat can be moia-
tened with a little mayonnaise and
spread on a strip Of hot buttered
toast, or meat minced and heated in q
little cream or stock. Use olives or
hard-boiled eggs or . little minced
parsley for garnlsh.
Various vegetables can be used for
canapes. A slice Of ripe tomato, topped
by a spoonful of mayonnaise and
placed on a round of buttered toast of
the same size. is delicious. A long strip
OF toast an inch wide can have thin
slices Of cucumber Tapped one over
the other its entire length, each dotted

diced beets moistened with melted
butter, very hot, can be piled in neat
little mounds on rounds of buttered
toast and garnished with minced hard

THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS
By q. FRANKLIN HUNTER

Come dear old Santa Claus the children calling!
Quick may the curtain RISE and let yourself appear
Loud ring the Christmas BELLS the wntry snow falling,
And chdhoods mrth will crown the drama OF the year
Long seemed the days youthful lives yearmng
For all the happy hours of tn good old Christmas time
Pile on the wood, and keep the cabinfres a'burning,
And let write for you this simple Christmas rhyme
Time passes on, it's true, but memory still is keeping
The page afresh of years. alas! long since agone:
Will wake like to joys of this glad Christmas morn
The mseoe is wreathed there hangs the festive cluster
While maidens sweety blush and Romance plays the part
Some gallant heart of youth true tries to muster
To kiss queenly cheek and bravely win her heart.
Bedecked are the with holywreath adornlng
And spangled trees again. like mystic scenes appear:
What glad to hearts Christmas
And cornucopias horn'is filled to overflowing:
The stockings hung last nght-Od Nick has found them
ALL
Dear hearts youth for you the future will be glowing
With mernorys of these when saddened tears
# might fall.
The children of the poor will Santa Claus forget them
them stockings filled this dear old Christmas day?
Pray! open up your hearts, and never let them
saddened with these thoughts will away
Come! let u.s. and all, forget deeper
Let Christmas Chimes, once more refresh our ves and
then,
The thoughts of Christmas tina will gladden. many
And cheer on til Christmas comes again.
