FRANCE that is not already hers! = One
fine gesture we have had in this war,
when Pershing offered to Foch "All that
we are and have" Something like that
should be our gift to France still-to
France, the martyr of war which has
50 many martyrs. There are, however,
also a few material particulars |, for.
one. should like to see added to Frances
Christmas stocking-all those miles and
acres Of docks and warehouses, for IN
stance; of rail and engines and machin-
cry and material in France.
Who has stopped fairly to consider
what France must have suffered from
her second army of invasion--that of
her friends? The devastations of that
Army of Salvation cannot have been
small; trampling through fair valleys
and vineyards, tracking through her vii
lagos, trailing through her forests the
necessary but devouring axe-the heart
sinks to think of it on top Of the other
Cash, of course, we have paid in abun-
dance, but who shall make whole the
lovely. ruined land? l trust a package
of everything worth while we have ac-
complished and done in France is already
somewhere, sealed and addressed to her
by the official authorit.esl To France
then-"all that we are and have" al her
need
To England-here I pause. What can
we give great England? Have we any
gift to give which England will prize
Yes! A great gift, one long craved, bnt
which Britain will never beg of US, the
gift of understanding; the gift of the
avowal of one deep kinship, kinship
of spirit as we'll as of tongue and
blood; avowal of our pride in that kin
ship, our purpose to let nothing lessen it:
the declaration of our trust in her, made
perfect through hundred years Of
peace. This is our gift to Britain
worthy of US both.
Last of all, like a tactful hostess, not
to distress others by our own giftless
state, let US hang for America one gift
somewhere, modestly, near the heart of
the Tree, where only America shall
find it.
What shall that gift be? What shall
we who are Americans give to America,
our country?
To that question there can only be one
answer: Ourselves.
And only that gift, made absolute,
unconditional, eternal, can make all the
! others possible.

A Debt of Honor
Paid in Kind

We came late, "almost too late" into
this war, as Mr.. Kahn recalled to US the
other day; so late that we barely saved
the situation, and, instead Of glorying
that we did save it, are confined to giving
thanks in humility that the world was
not lost through US, and thanks, in which
some pride is permitted to mingle, for
the magnificent valor of our boys who
saved us both from the shame and the
consequences Of that failure.
Honor is not thing that can be paid
for in any cash, only in 'kind"-as at
Chateau Thierry and St. Mihiel. But
one thing we can dove can take upon
ourselves a task and burden which our
long immunity has left US in a position
to fulfil as none other can, and out Of
our plenty--or even of our dearth-give
and give and give to exhausted Europe

rather than of the heart. "Neutrality"
Is a hostile word--to the heart. Yet,
lest we forget, it was we, the great neu-
trail, who gave these weaker ones the
time to learn the full meaning of the
menace that was Germany, so, though
we may not love their neutrality, we are
forever disqualified from harsh judg-
ment Of it.
But it is not the Allies, and the neu-
trail nations, and the young, new coun-
tries only. "Feed thine enemy" is an
injunction we must be prepared to full

manity or even Of humane expediency

Suppose, for example, that we substi-
tute for the proverbial oyster cocktail or
oysters on the half shell a Hawaiian
cocktail. In that case you cut an ALI
gator pear into bits. In a separate dish
you mix one-half pint of tomato catsup,
six drops tabasco one teaspoonful
Worcestershire, a tablespoonful Of chut-
ney pickle, the juice Of q lemon salt
spoonful of salt, and pour into the glasses
that have been half filled with the pear
cubes.
Of course, when it comes to soups no
cooks can make soups like the French,
and of all their infinite variety the clear
consomme suggests itself as most appro-
pirate for the ample Christmas dinner.
For the fish course there is Christmas
carp as it is cooked in Poland, though
strictly for the Christmas Eve supper
any white fish will answer. Cut two
pounds in pieces and fry. Add one-half
pint white wine and cook ten minutes;
then add one-half cupful each of dried
currants and chopped nuts and place in
a baking dish to cook one-half hour
If you prefer to draw upon Belgium
for the fish course there is its way with
shad, which any loyal Belgian will assure
you is the only way. Oysters and mush-
rooms are chopped together, not too fine

And now for the turkey, or shall we

key it shall be, then we are not willing
to concede honors in the matter of its

cooks, who will roast with it sage or
oyster or chestnut dressing and serve a
great chicken pie as an accompaniment.

MOOD played a masterful role in
L winning the war, SO it is only fit
ting that the most universally
observed of all feasts, the Christmas
dinner, should be an international feast.
And quite aside from the sentiment
involved in this suggestion, there is the
possibility that such a proceeding might
lead the American housewives to a great
er interest in other countries ways of
cooking and serving food, and thus
be the means of Inducing some sem
Dlance of variety into the average Amer

Gifts of the Spirit
At the Heart of the Tree.

What gifts may America reserve for
these? Let us dare to name few:
To Belgium whom we did not feed,
but whose feeding, and SO whose very
life, we did, through Mr.. Hoover and
few others, make possible-to Belgium
undyng honor, place forever among
the names we read in light.
To our Eastern ally, Japan, let US
give what Japan will like best of all
a square deal and an attempt at COM
prehension. Wrong hath she had from
traitor tongue" Let US offer to Japan
this Christmas good Will and sincere in
tention.
To Italy-what Italy has long craved
and never yet received-justice: justice
and recognition. In her case the two
are one. All our sins toward Italy
have proceeded from ignorance. So
great are her achievements, SO noble
her history chat they have but to be
known to be loved. Let US make our
selves a little codeau of that knowl-
edge.
For France-but what can we give
