BAND PLAYED TO A SMALL
CROWD ON TUESDAY NIGHT
Rain Kept Many People From Turn
ing Out to Hear Music.

The band concert scheduled for last
Tuesday night met with very little
success so far as an audience was con
cerned, due to the heavy rain which
fell in the afternoon and the threat
ening outlook for more at the appoint
ed time for their appearance.
Although about sixty were present
the members of the band went through
the entire program which had been
arranged for the occasion. Those who
did come out for the concert declared
that the music was unusually good.

, ally at such times. 1t Is q most pic
! turesque dish decked with attractive
| garnishings. sometimes with nre
| blazing about 1t on the platter. Even
today il is spectscular and denotes a
high festival, just as 1t did in the
olden times.
"Sides of Beef"
"The side of beer as a Christmas
meat is apt to be overlooked today.
But it was one of the earliest dishes
served in old England whenever this
greatest of all holidays came. The
housewife. therefore, who served
roast beef for Christmas dinner, Is
historically correct. 1t is probably
because we have become accustomed
to having such roast frequently that
It takes away its holiday aspect. Let
me suggest, therefore, If home
maker expects to serve a side of
beef" to put 1t in Its true Christmas
phraseology, that she has not a roast
of beef, steak or even hamburg steak
for several days before Christmas.
The infrequency. of a dish adds to its
appreciation. Between ourselves, a
roast of beef is the easiest of all the
Christmas meats to prepare, cook and
serve. 1t should be popular with
housewives!
Gueen Favored Goose. ..
Goose comes next in the catalogue
of Christmas meats. While it was
sometimes served as early as 1877, in
England, II was no less a person than
Queen Elizabeth herself who set the
seal of fashion on the serving of the
goose for Christmas. 1t would be we'll
for US to follow her lead, since using
turkey for both Thanksgiving and
Christmas gives a similarity to the
dinners on these two days which often
come within a month of each other.
Moreover. the market being divided
between the two birds should tend to
lower the price of each.
Turkey Favorfte.
There appears to be no special rea-
SON why turkey should be served on
Americans for this bird. However,
this very thing has created a place
for the turkey in our Christmas
menus. Many thousands of families
Will relish 1t this year as in the past.
With the Meats.
The accompaniment of goose Is ap-
pie sauce, and the dressing should be
of onion and mashed potato. The tur-
key calls for cranberry sauce, and 1t
may have any one of several different
kinds of stuffing, such as seasoned
bread crumbs mixed with butter or
fine pieces of the fat OF the turkey,
oysters with the crumbs and the
poultry seasoning omitted, chestnut,
known also as "marron" dressing,
with salt, pepper, butter etc. Roast
beef may have any of several different
kinds of relIshes with it. To give
distinction to the Christmas dinner
of roast beef serve Yorkshire pud-
ding with it. This will add note OF
distinction.
Poinsettia Salad.
There are so many decorative
Christmas salads that this course
should not be omitted from the din
ner. Serve small portion only. A
sweet salad Is best. Poinsettia salad,
made by cutting petal-shaped pieces
from rosy apples and arranging them
round a spoonful of green-tinted may
onnaise, Is as dainty as can be. For
the salad green, lettuce, water cress
or young dandelion leaves are good.
The lighted Christmas candle salad Is
even more decorative, but it is rather
hearty for a dinner. 1t is more ap-
propriate for supper.

strain is put on their strength and
energy, we say that they are burn

The allusion, of course, is obviously
to the fact that candles burned at
both ends would be used up more
quickly than one lit only at one end.
1t is not so generally known, how
ever, that the phrase takes its origin
from a very old form of candle which
1t was the practice in olden times
literally to burn at both ends.
That was before the existence Of
candles as we know them today.

What Today Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Sagittanus.

The planetary aspects of today are
fair, although they do not counsel an
attempt to launch any new, impor-
tant undertaking. They do, however,
favor careful attention to customary
duties along well tried lines. They
also indicate that ii Is a splendid OPP
portunity for reviewing, and, IL nee
| essary, revising plans for some fu-
ture operation. The vibrations will
stimulate clearness OF vision, and
help to solve problems that have
hitherto proven difficult of solu-
tion. There will be terminated a
spirit of amiability and peace and
this will have a tendency to induce
the putting into the discard of many
fancied wrongs and grievances.
A child born today viii be robust
and healthy. Not for this, however
must its careful nutrition be neglect
ed or watchfulness relaxed. 1t will
| be imaginative and impulsive and
| somewhat of dreamer. 1t will for
mulate many plans, which will never
be carried out. and 1t will build many
air castles. 1t will need to cultivate
self-reliance, perseverance and fore
sight. 1t will be lovable, sweet-tem-
pered, attractive, a general favorite and
much sought after.
/ If today is your birthday, you have

an active mind and much tact. You
are honest, straightforward and
frank, true and faithful to those you
lovefi and capable, also, Of bitter en-
nifty. You are fond of art and mu-
sic, like to be amused and entertain
ed, and enjoy society. Your home life
Is both happy and harmonious.
Your good points easily outweigh
the bad ones, and your greatest diff
fculty is experienced in your effort
to throw off the hostility you feel
toward those who have in some way
or another displeased you. Hard
feelings never smoothed out Difficult
ties, ard you only pander to your
weakness when you plan and work
for revenge. While an injury, either
moral or physical, calls for and de-
mands redress, nothing Is gained, but,
on the contrary, much is lost, by cog
