Selecting Christmas Tree.

A Christmas tree is not just a
Christmas tree. 1t is a Christmas tree
for your home, church or school, if
your selection is considerate and adj
vised. No longer do harassed house
wives drop in on their grocers OF
florists with a hurried order for "a
Christmas tree. They have learned
to be more specific.
Speaking strictly, and out of har-
mOny with the season, there is no
such thing as a Christmas tree. All
varieties of the evergreen tree are
known as Christmas trees and all
used for festive purposes. OF all
these, however, the balsam fir is prob
ably the most popular. Your choice
may be limited, though, by what is
available in your particular market.
The balsam fir may be distinguished
by its penetrating and refreshing
fragrance, a fragrance, by the way,
which outlasts most others, and is
likely to permeate the whole house
While fragrance alone might account
for the balsam's popularity, it's grace
full growth is an added reason. 1t
is a symmetrical tree, with needles
that stay on long after the spruce or
hemlock have shed theirs, and those
same needles are fiat, permitting the
hanging of ornaments.
What has been said is not intended
to detract from the charm of the
spruce 1t is an excellent second

Turkey Dressing.

Soak one pound Of bread crumbs in
sweet milk for 10 minutes, then press
out all the milk. add one pound of
sausage, salt and pepper. one-half &
cupful OF chopped onion or celery,
one-haf a teaspoonful of thyme or
sage, or one teaspoonfu of poultry
seasoning. If onions are used, they
should first be fried for five minutes
in hot butter or fat before adding
them. Bind together with TWO beaten
egg yolks. The turkey should not
he entirely filled, but space should be
left for the dressing to swell. This
will make too much for a small tur-
key. but use the same proportions Of
crumbs and sausage, with other sea
sonings to correspond. Stuff the tur-
key with this several hours before it
il pat in the oven in order to give a
IlI2 .,aTVr to the meat.

choice. II it is inferior in any par
tlcular way to the balsam it is in
fragrance. The formation of It's spray
or needles means that it will take you
longer to attach ornaments to the
spruce. It's tips. unlike the blunt ones
OF the balsam, are sharp. and deco.
rating with popcorns on pins is not
easy.
Inc popular hemlock has fiat nee
dies, like those of the balsam, but
they drop off more quickly. Except
FOR its lack Of fragrance, it might be
mistaken In appearance for the bal
sam. These trees are Christmas trees
without needles on them, but with
small, overlapping scales instead.
They do not spread easily with light
weight ornaments.
While trees may be bought in all
heights up to so feet, for home use a
tree to 10 feet high is preferable.

your tree let it stand in some out-of-
door place until 1t is ready to be
trimmed. That is the only way to
keep it fresh. Small table trees may
be bought by those who live in I'M

II liked your article on vitamins
Kindly tell me what vitamins are in
creamed onions, baked apples, butter
milk, squash and parsnips, This is a
matter Of vital Importance to me, and
/ would thank you for the informa-
tion," writes one correspondent.
Since creamed onions are the cook
ed vegetables plus sauce containing
milk and butter, the dish would have
vitamins A and B in the onions and
also in the milk and butter. Raw
onions have vitamins A, 3 and c.
Vitamin c is very delicate. and sub
lection to heat materially affects and,
ir some cases, destroys this vitamin
entirely.
Raw apples have a little Of vitamin
A, more Of e and some Of c.. Baked
apples contain vitamins A and B.
Buttermilk has a little of vitamin A.
| more Of b and perhaps some OF c..
Vitamin G in milk Is variable, de.
pending very much on the cows diet.
Hubbard squash contains vitamin A.
Parsnips have vitamins A and b..
Vitamins are of vital Importance to
every one. They are the life-giving
elements which nature has stored in
food and which science has recognized
only within the last two decades
associated with the valuable minerals,
lime, iron. phosphorus, iodine, etc.,
which are also present in natural
foods.
Nutrition experts are busy in the
laboratories working over the chemical
elements in food and their effect on
the body. Their findings are tabulated
in very interesting tables, showing the
lime. iron and vitamin content, the
total caloric value, the percentage of
protein, carbohydrates, fat and water
In hundreds of foods.
But the busy housewife, earnest in
her desire to provide her. family with
proper nourishment, does not need to
study these tables ceaselessly. A
knowledge that there are different
groups Of food and that each group
furnishes certain things the body
needs will help the preparation Of q
suitable meal. When the menu
planner knows that meat, eggs, cheese,
milk and fish are protein foods and
that the body requires other foods to
balance up the protein, she will not
serve meat soup, creamed fish, egg
salad and cheese waters all at the
same meal.
BY remembering that milk is the
headliner for getting lime or calcium
into the diet, and that then come
most vegetables, many fruits. eggs
, and whole grains. it will not be diff
cult to see that the family gets it's
lime. The same Is true of iron,
Wheat bran in whole wheat products,
egg yollk, spinach and many other veg.
etables and fruits yield rich store af
iron. SO it will be very easy to pro.
vide iron in the diet.
The vitamins are closely identified
with the mineral salts: that is, they
are present in milk, butter, cream,
eggs, whole grains, fruits and vege
tables. That gives a wide range and
makes certain the inclusion Of the

Bibs for little folk are increasing in
attractiveness. At least that is what
children are sure to agree is the truth
IN regard to one at least of the later
models. 1t is called a cooky bib, be-
cause there is a pocket in it for hold
ing, not one, but two or three of these
delectable dainties They might al
most be called refreshment bibs. for
some of the pockets are big enough to
hold fairly large rosy-cheeked apple,
1nstead of cookies. 1t will be seen that
such bibs are not for infants, but for
larger little folks, those who still have
not outgrown the bib age.
Cooky bibs can be made in several
d1fferent styles, but each must have a
pocket. This is the great distinguish
ing feature. One 1 saw recently must
nave been IL inches from the lowest
curve Of the neck to the bottom of the
bib. 1t had a pocket in size about
5la by Az inches, sewed Just above
the hem at the bottom. The material
OF the bib was unbleached cotton
cloth, firm and heavy. The pocket was
OF printed wash material, picturing in
colors three little children, hand in
hand, against an out-of-door back
ground. Probably it was to indicate
that the children were dancing along,
hand IN hand, enjoying the cookies.
Pretty Model.
An attractive cooky bib could be
made of a Japanese crepe in any one
the attractive colors in which it can be
had, with the rectangular pocket of a
contrasting shade of the same goods.
A little scene could be done in cross
stitch. For example, a butterfly de-
sign would be appropriate. Under

Neck and Shoulders.

Daytime frocks this season are cut
rather high in the neck and those that
are open at the throat do not show
much of milady's collar bone and

chest and shoulders come out of their
retirement 20 enhance or mar the eff
feet of the decCliette. Whether or not
the revelation is a pleasing one de-
ponds upon the contours and skin
tints of these parts of the body.
Most necks need regular bleaching
treatments tn make the skin smooth
and white enough to be presentable in
an evening gown TO make them so
they must be scrubbed thoroughly
each night with pure soap and warm
water. a fairly stiff bath brush
should be use1 tor the purpose. This
method of cleansing has the double
advantage Of stimulating the circula-
ton and removing scarf skin and
CRIME. After the lathering and scrub
hing, the parts should be thoroughly
rinsed in clear, warm water. then in
cold and finally dried very carefully.
In place of the cold rinse. buttermilx
may be used TO tighten the skin color
Leave this bleach on for half an hour
before rinsing it all off.
When sufficient quantities of but
leiLlilh are not aVdlldDle q more con-
venient bleaching lotion for the neck
may be made of the following: Three
tablespoonfuis strained lemon juice,
two teaspOonfuls borax, one and one
half ounces of glyCerin. eight ounces
rose water. Dissolve the borax in a
little of the rose water. Mix the
lemon juice with the glycerin, then
ado the other ingredients to the re.
suiting lotion. This bleach is to be
nassaged into the skin after the soap
and water cleansing every night.
Unless the skin of the shoulders
has been tanned it is likely to be
whittier than the neck, but in some
cases this advantage is lost by the

SUB ROSA
BY MIMI.
Time to Be Stingy.

There's no fault less lovable than
stinginess, and far be it from me to
advise it in any form. Only there
comes a time just around Christmas
when the advice to be stingy is needed
by al few Tightly young things.
They needn't be stingy in the mat
ter OF mothers present or daddy's.
They can spread themselves about
giving the girl chum something really
nice.
And there's no law against their
spending more than their allowance
on presents for girls of their crowd
but they must be firmly seized by the
ear and led away from the expensive
gifts for the boy friend.
There are two reasons why every
girl wants to make a handsome pres
| emf to the man she's keen about.
one of them is that she likes him so
much she wants to make him really
| hanpv with stunning Christmas offer
| ing.
! The other-and usually the real rea'
| son-is that she wants to show him
she's no cheap skate-if he gave her
| something elaborate and costly last
wear. she's going to do just as well
f! herself.
| That's usually what's at the bot
| tom of all the high-handed buying
! that goes under the name of gener-
| osity each Yuletlde.
! And it's such bad taste, girls. II
| onlv YOU could once be persuaded
! of that. you'd get over the desire to
/ invest i'm gorgeous ties and cigarette
cases and wallets.
No matter how beautiful q gift
| comes your way from the One and
! only Man. you mustn't feel impelled
| to rush out and buy him a motor car
| lust to show your appreciation.
It's the mans place to do the
| handsome. After all, he's probably
earning more than you are-he GER
| tainlv is supposed to be wooing you
not you wooing him--and II he wants
! to toss away cash III your dlrectloli'
! that's his lookout.
Rut il looks bad when you do too
much for him. IT looks too eager.
If looks as if you didn't know just
what's what.
OF course, if you're engaged to
/ the gentleman in the case, the mat
| for takes on a different complexion
Then YOU may certainly give him
what YOU think will please him most,
regardless of what 1t sets you BACK.
The girls who write to me saying,
| "T know he's going to give me a
f1ffe6-0llI
want 10 appear cheap-what shall
| do for him?" show that they don
know the rules OF the game--they're
not used to receiving presents from
men.
If YOU send man some nice remem
brance--a good-looking tie, a book, a
small. inexpensive wallet-you've done
your bit and you've shown good taste
| in not trying to Guido whatever he
! has for you.
| There should be no feeling of obliga
! ton on the girls part to rival or even
4, outshine a mans gift with her own
| She may have that feeling about her
girl friends presents, but she shouldn't
J entertain it for a second in connection
I with mems gifts.
| Restrain that impulse to show your
man how generous you can be. You
will only show him how inexperienced
you are in the matter of giving boys
! appropriate gifts for Christmas.
Mimi will be glad to answer any in.
