An Unexpected
Christmas Present

~ NE Christmas day some years
~ ago Almas temple of the Shrin-
ers Of Washington gave its.
annual dinner to the poor. 1t was a
well-planned affair, generously contrib
uted to, and turned out a big success.
But the most notable thing about it
was not on the program and made the
hit Of the occasion. Whenever mem
.bers of the temple think of the celebra-
tion they chuckle over their unexpected
Christmas gift.
While the Shriners were feeding
their guests there came to their hall
$50 loaves Of bread. The huge six
foot Santa Claus was busy cracking
jokes as he waddled about and took.
down the gifts from the Christmas
tree. In the middle of one of his stO.
ries there entered another big, fat
Santa Claus, carrying a colossal bas-
ket full Of bread, and behind him were
three or four negroes, also carrying
baskets of bread. One of the Shriner
committeeman at once inferred that
some one had sent a gift of bread to
be distributed and signed a receipt for
the $50 loaves. In few minutes they
were handed around to the heads of
families, and an additional smile Of
Christmas JOY went around everywhere
with them.
When the festivities were nearly over
and the crowd had begun to disperse
man came running in and asked the

his back. Who is to prevent Santa
Claus from carrying a tiny American
flag? Cookies may be cut in the shape
or stars, stockings or trees, decorated
with citrOn or red and white candies.
Harlquins made of red and white pep
permint sticks with marshmallow
heads, capped with tissue paper hats.
are novelty.
If the. turkey proves too expensive
for the main part Of the feast, there
are many substitutes. A roast goose
is really economical, because so much
fat can be obtained from 1t, which Is
as good, or better, for cooking purposes
than butter. Ii,
Oysters have not kept pace with the
advance in prices of most food, so they
are deserving of n prominent place on
the menu.
If any of the vegetables are left over,
a delicious salad may be made the
next day and the cake with a choco-

Planning the
Christmas
Dinner
By PEGGY POWERS
(Copyright.)

(COpyrlght.)
4 Z no other time Of the year is
N there such wealth of oppor-
~ tunities for the hostess as at
Christmas time. Extravaganza
Is reprehensible at any time, but now
that we are ell practicing wartime
economy, 1t isadoubly so. Prepared
ness is good thing to keep in mind,
for If ample thought is given to the
planning and preparing Of the NEAL,
SO much more can be accomplished and
the housewife can as well as the 9th.
ers enjoy the repast.
You will be astounded with little
ingenuity and originality, how much
you can accomplish with small ex-
penditure in the way of table decora
tons, which add SO much to the at
tractiveness of the holiday feast.
A regular Sunday dinner with the
addition Of one or two courses may
assume the appearance Of Christmas
feast. Not how elaborate the meal Is,
but how well the courses are pre-
pared Is most essential, for the CHEEKY
atmosphere Of the day goes far toward
making the family dinner success.
Half the Joy for the little ones con-
sists in letting them do their share
toward helping decorate the table as
well as the tree. Red and green are
the symbolic colors, used principally
for decorating the festal board. For
a center piece Santa Claus dressed in
red crepe paper with trimmings Of
white cotton dotted with ink to rep
resent ermine, may stand on q snowy
mound of cotton glistening with dia-
mond dust. Hidden in the snowy
mound are little gifts, attached to rib
bons which is drawn through the cot
ton and reaches to every cover.
The candle sticks are capped with
crepe paper shades, dangling with ici-
cles made Of rolled tin foil, which may
be obtained at florist.
To add to the effectiveness Of the
table, popcorn wreaths are made by
sewing each circle separate on hat
wire and formed in circles.
From the chandelier are suspended
strings of stars cut out Of gilt paper.
Bon bon boxes are little boxes COW
