usually, when many families foregather
around the festive board. BY this time
every one has had an opportunity to
examine presents and the excitement

In the meantime the housewife has
not been able to erase the thought Of

Turkey is delicious to the very last
fragment, and the bones and trimmings
will stew down and make excellent
soup.
The smallest little pickings Of the
savory turkey meat will come in for
patties and croquettes; and the legs
fricassee deliciously or make an adn1i-
rable dewitt there is but little meat
left on them.
When using up the turkey carcass, it
is worth while to add some fresh beef
soup meat, for this will transform the
stock into a nourishing and really de-
licious soup and the beef Itself can be
passed through the mincer and will
make an excellent foundation for GRO
Quettes.
Turkey soup: Use bone and any
skin and gristle remaining of cooked
turkey. One pound of beef-soup meat,
two ounces of dripping, two onions, one
carrot, a stalk of celery, half teaspoon
full of mixed herbs, seasoning Of pepper
and salt, three quarts of water, one
ounce of flour. Melt the drippings in a
stewpan, add the onions, cut in thin
slices, and the beef divided into seven
or eight pieces; fry gently for few
minutes, but do not let them brown;
strain of any fat remaining; and add
all the remnants of turkey, the carrots
and celery cut In dice, seasonings and
water, and stew gently for four hours.
Strain the soup into a fresh saucepan;
mix the flour very smoothly with lit
tie cold stock or water. stir the boiling
soup into it, and simmer all for a few
minutes; improve the color with a little
caramel, If necessary, and serve.
Turkey croquettes: Use small scraps
with any little odd bits of ham or
tongue, put through the mincer and mix
with their bulk of smooth, dry mashed
potatoes and an egg, adding a table
spoonful Of milk also, If necessary, to
bind the ingredients. Roll the cro-
Quettes in fine, dry bread crumbs, and
fry for five or six minutes In boiling
fat. Drain we'll and serve.

Green One of Smartest Colors
By MARY MARSHALL.

Not only has green survived, but 1t
has come out as one OF the smartest
colors Of the season and 1t has been
said that among well dressed women
bottle green now challenges the place
of beige as a popular daytime tone.
And, while the warm browns undoubt-
edly are more widely worn green Is url-
questionably smart.
Possibly the success OF green now
adays is due In part to the fact that
women, even the most conventional, no
longer feel any inhibitions against using
a little rouge. Pale women and women
of sallow coloring have always found
green trying, but 1t is no longer out OF
the question for those women to acquire
the suggestion of color needed to make
green really fiattering.
For several seasons the effort has
been made to bring mufis
back into favor, and now they really
are with us in earnest. The smart new

All over the world at this season Of
the year people are planning for the
only universal holiday. What a real
pleasure it would be If one could visit
each country and have the opportunity
to enjoy the various ways Of celebrating
at the Christmas season.
One of the most fascinating visits is
to go to Poland at this season and see
the peasant women in their gayly col
ored costumes, made in bright colors
and all by hand, with their heads
covered with pretty kerchiefs, taking
their Christmas cakes. beautifully deco
rated, to the priests for their blessing.
AS one crosses Germany at Christmas
time the housekeepers are busy making
cakes, not only for their own families,
but for gifts to others. These cakes are
used at a coffee klatch. common
throughout the festive season.
In England the families are cleaning
currants and raisins. chopping citron
and nuts for the English plum puddings
to be steamed for the Christmas dinner.
For our dinner we, too, must start
early to prepare 1t. The nnince meat
is to be made a week in advance and
kept in cool, dry place. Certainly
the plum pudding can be made weeks
in advance. An extra one may be made
at the same time for friend who, per-
i1aps, is doing only Eight housekeep-
ing" Cranberry sauce or Jelly may be
made and set aside In q cool place for
the grand occasion, when it will add
color and help to furnish decoration for
the table.
There are always many dishes to be
washed after a Christmas dinner, so
any attractive economy Of dishes is a
blessing. Small paper containers may
be used for cranberry sherbet, If you
serve that instead Of jelly, and these
may be decorated with Christmas seal
on the very edge of each cup.
Every one wants to have Christmas a
holiday as far as possible and most
members Of the family like to have q
part in its preparation. There can be

Eve Wrinkles.

Whether one cares to announce the
number of years that one has lived or

that eye wrinkles are brutally frank.
