Or shall she choose one among the
many delicious and appropriate
meats or small game which the
overlooking market offers at the
Christmas season?
The young hostess anxious to ex-
tend hospitality to kith or friends
need not fear to handle holiday
dinner all by herself. She will be
sure of a success" if the follows
a few simple principles of buying
and preparing her chief dish. The
cooking, garnishing and carving
has as much to do with the festive
sririt Of the day as has the kind
of meat or its cost.
If she prefers poultry and ex-
poets to entertain six or more
guests, then a turkey, goose OF
brace of domestic duck would be
a good choice. If she .plans for
only two or four, then a capon,
fowl or a couple of guinea hens
would be sufficient in amount and
equally suitable.
Turkey, our native bird, is regal
in form and in every point worthy
to be chosen for first place on the
platter, and a ten to twelve-pound
turkey will generously serve from
six to eight portions.
Suggestions for choosing tur-
key and its preparation in advance
of cooking hold true for all kinds
of poultry. Select a young bird
With plump breast and smooth
moist skim The end of its breast
bone should be flexible when
moved with the finger, and the
wing joint readily turn backward.
Avoid picking bird with dry,
scaly legs, or long, coarse hairs, OF
a dark, purplish skin, as these ART
sure signs of age and toughness.
When the butcher dresses your
poultry, be sure that he also draws
the tendons of the "drumsticks,"
as this will make the first leg
joints more agreeable eating.
Wash giblets well in cold water
and remove inner sack from giz-

off all hairs by turning bird rap
idly over low gas flame, and pluck
pinfeathers with a small tweezer.
Cut out the small oilsack which
lies just above the tail. Wipe both
inside and outside with a damp
cloth and lay bird in refrigerator
until ready to stuff.
Whatever the kind of stuffing,
the breast cavity must be well
filled to make it appear plump and
round. Fold the wings back and
lock their tips, which makes the
neatest disposal of the wings and
provides flat, substantial base
for the bird to rest on while cook
ing and serving.
Press the legs together and tie
(truss) them with string. Cover
breast with slices of salt pork, held
in place with toothpicks, and place
bird on rack in pan, breast down.
Thus, while roasting, the juice
will run down the breast and auto
matically haste it and keep it ten

poultry until it has been in oven
a half hour, then sprinkle lightly
with seasoned flour.
Basic every fifteen fifteen min
utes with hot water and butter for
the first hour. After the bird has
been removed to its serving plat
ter, pour off most of the fat re-
naming in the pan, then add a
large Kitchen spoon of flour and
stir to a paste. While cooking add
the strained giblet liquor and stir
constantly to smooth, rich gravy.

ing preferred, and serve in sepa-
rate gravy-boat.
No matter how much of an cpl
cure he may be, any person will
relish well-made bread stuffing,
such as can be used for turkey or,
indeed, all poultry. A ten-pound
bird win require about two quarts
of any stuffing. Use stale, crust
less bread, and erumb it finely. To
four cups of crumbs allow one
half cup melted butter, one and
one-haif teaspoons salt, one-half
teaspoon white pepper and one
tablespoon each summer savory
and sweet marjoram crushed to
powder.
Rub the butter into the crumbs

wrestling ability have earned him the reputation as one of the worlds strongest men.
 One of the stunts which ,Maksmiak will exhibit tomorrow night will be to have an iron bar bent over his neck by 30 persons from the au- dience.
 Another stunt is to lift a platform containing 20 persons. Still another is to twist an iron bar around his wrist, raise four persons with one hand and arm, drive nails into a plank with his bare feet and break bricks on his head. The breaking of iron shackles blythe expansion of his muscles is one of his pet exhibits.
 In addition to being strong man and wrestler, Maksmiak has done some boxing and has toured this country and Europe.
 The appearance of this Polish ath- lete here may signal an attempt to bring back the wrestling game in this city. The visitor announces that he is ready 10 meet any heavyweight boxer or wrestler who is wiling to go up against him and this challenge probably will be issued again to- night.
