Christmas Categories.

1t Is easier sometimes to find the
right Christmas gifts if one consid-
ers many of the possible gifts in cate
gories or groups Of human needs and
desires. Just running over these
categories in ones mind is very like
ly to link up an item in one of them
by suggestion with the person for
whom it is suitable.
Human needs and desires are easily
grouped under the personal and So
cial, and these easily subdivided in
whatever way appeals to one. For
example, esthetic and utilitarian;
tellectual. Personal gifts. of things
to wear, to use and to eat. or things
to read and look at, suggest lists Of
clothes. utensils. instruments, candy
and fruit, and lists of books. pictures
and flowers. Social gifts may be SIM
rather than to individual use, for
house, garden and maybe car, or
whatever mode of motion the family
in question uses. House linen. china
furniture, pictures. plants. seeds. and
all the many accessories Of daily liv-
ing that modern civilization provides.
may be mentioned for this list
Most friendships and connections
which determine Christmas giving
are really based especially on one
human need or desire. With each
case at any one time. though there
may be many elements. one predom-
mates. Some are friends of propin-
guilty, others of a common interest.
others Of a common experience. others
Of a common deprivation. If one
thinks over what it is that binds one
to each person. and then the category
of things that relate to that bond, it
helps one to hit upon just the right
gift.

In Cooking Fish.

Remember that the secret of savory
boiled fish is that the water in which
it is boiled be Well salted. This doesn't
mean that any sprinkling of salt is
sufficient. It means that as much as
an ounce of salt to quart of water
should be used.
When a fish is to be steamed ii
should be placed in an earthen dish
and then a little vinegar should be
poured over it. 1t should then be
placed in the refrigerator for a couple
Of hourse. well covered. Then the vim
egar should be drained off and the fish
is ready for the steaming process Of
cooking.
TO freshen salt fish always remem-
Der that you should place it in the
water with the skin side UP, the flesh
side down. The salt then as it soaks
out Of the fish sinks to the bottom Of
the dish. II the skin side is down the
salt soaks into the fish and is caught
by the skin. and so there is as salty a
taste as ever when the fish Is cooked.
for the salt has all collected in the
skin.
Remember that smelts spoil more
easily than most fish and should there
fore be kept most carefully.
When you are cooking oysters in
their shells. always place them in a
pan with the rounded side down, to
hold as much juice as possible.

The stations Of today are beautiful in

There are two in New York city. one

the other for the New York Central,

tance. And they said the same thing
about putting engines in ships to
