Every dinner table in Washington
literally should groan under the
weight of delicious offerings of food
this Christmas. unless there is an un-
expected rise in prices during the
next two weeks. Inquiry among the
dealers in Washington markets to-
day showed that a full course dinner
for a family of six can be served for
from So to s12. including cooking and
all of the trimmings characteristic of
a big Christmas meal.
Much to the chaSrin of the busy
market men, an inquisitive perrson
poked in and about the various stalls
ana stores today. asked n most of
questions and then walked away
without buying cents worth of
produce. The result of that inquiry
however. is this menu as sugges-
ton for Christmas dinner at cost
of just exactly IS:
Celery Soup Stuffed Olives
Roast Rabbit
Sweet Potatoes String Beans
Parsnips White Potatoes
Lettuce and MayonnaiSe
Cranberry Jelly
Plum Pudding
Coffee Rolls
Turkey More Costly.
All of the above foods may be pur-
chased in Washington stores. some of
them already prepared. such as the
plum pudding-almoSt essential to
every we'll balanced Christmas dinner
Those with fatter purses and more
fastidious appetites may spend 81
six:
Celery Soup Stuffed Olives
Roast Turkey with Mushroom
Dressing
Creamed Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes
Candied Sweet Potatoes String Beans
Lettuce and Mayonnaise
Cranberry Jelly
imported Plum Pudding
Coffee Rolls Cheese
The householder who can afford to
spend just little more than IS. but
to whom sig looks like bank ac-
count, may substitute duck for rabbit
at an additional expense of 81. Fine.
fat ducks are selling today for 40
cents a pound. Since it would take
about eight pounds for healthy fam
lily of six on Christmas day. the price
of the duck would be $3.50, as against
S12O for two rabbits.
May Be Slight Drop.
Dealers do not expect an increase in
prices and even said that, judging
from the New York market, there
may be slight drop in some COM
modities. including turkeys Food
prices this year show very little, If
any, change over those Of last Christ
mas, which the housewife will easily
recognize from the following quota
tions. which are only for the best
goods.
