OF the traditions Of their native lands
The South and Central AmericarI
whose diet differs considerably from
ours, find Center Market in Washing
ton rather tame institution, and
many Of them have viAnds shipped
from their own lands, or at least such
as will carry in shipment, canned or
otherwise. None Of the Latin Ameri-
cans are extravagantly fond OF turkey
and cranberry sauce.
Goose Is a far greater favorite with
the diplomats OF many countries than
is the stately turkey, and especially
az the Latvian Legation. where there
will be served on Christmas Day a
fine brown goose with sauerkraut and
nut brown cakes Of country sausage.
This makes the national festal dish Of

the sausage, generally made in the
country several days before the feast,
is highly spiced. A big, well Drowned
goose will also be served as a part Of
the feast in the legation Of Norway,
and II will be highly garnished with
stars and other figures cut out from
apples and little figures made OF veg
etables.
