Look Like What They A
By JULIA BTANSHARD NEA Service Writer

New York.--Humor is an, excel lent trait for any Christmas gift to have. But this year, if you are feeling in q mood to give q smart present, let your humorous contri- buttons run to useful things.
 Knlckknacks and useless Rad- gets are out of place this year. Presents that have a purpose are much more acceptable. Give the tricky presents that have q double purpose and thanks win over whelm you. Such gifts are espe- cially good to take your Yuietide hostess, send casual acquaintances or fussy friends. v
 Furniture is Versatile
 There are innumerable things this winter that look like one ar- ticle and turn out to be another. Furniture comes high in this list. There are tWo-timing bookcases that make coffee table or serv- ing table, daybeds that are verit- able wardrobes with n huge draw CT under them for storing things. low buffets that turn and twist into breakfast table with whole lot of electrical things at hand to cook on, decorative screens that turn around to show neat bar, and so on,
 Among the newest furniture Is moderniZcd old fashioned fire seat that has three uses. It's round back lifts and hooks to make the seat into a table for dining. It's seat lifts up to show a deep stor- ing spaceh. This is an excellent gift for the small weekend coiin- try place or an apartment where 1t will be 50 useful by the fireplace.
 Beverages to the Fore
 Probably the largest number of trick gifts of this sort cater to the beverage trade. There is neat row of three fine old volumes for fathers desk that really are three storehouscs for bottles of bever- age. Footballs open to reveal tho same,
 Dolls in most amusing manner seemingly are only decorative. However, made in the form of tea cozics, they are excellent for that purpose, nice to conceal the telc- phone and nicer still to stick over n bottle of this or that. should prim Aunt Maria drop in unexpect-

Croaucttes provide one of the raost attractive ways of using up leftover meats. Or. very often. cheap cuts can be boiled and used to excellent advantage In cro- uaetteB for a company luncheon.
 Almost any kind of meat can be worked up in delicious croquettes Lamb, veal tender roast pork. poultry and fish are most nppetiz- Ing used this way. Combinations of meat are also satifactory. Veal and ham, chicken and ham and veal and pork arc aavory mixtures.
 The meat must be carefully pre- pared. Every bit of skin, fat or grlstlc mus: be discarded and only clear tender meat used in the cro- quette mixture. The meat is then minced and added to q sauce as 1t lB removed from the fire. This is important, for care must be taken not to oyer-cook the meat.
 The crumbing and egging Is an- other important step in croquette making. Every particle of the sur tace of croquette must be com pletely covered with crumbs and egg. The reason for this is that the egg quickly coagulates in contact with heat, forming coating which the frying fat cannot pene- trate. Since this coating protects the delicate texture of the cro- qucttc mixture, carelessnesH Tn crumblnE and egging may permit Inc croquette to break during the frying. A first coating of fine crumbs. one of slightly beaten egg and final coating of crumbs give good results.
 The shaping of croquettes Is not n difficult task, but here again care rlunt be observed. The mixture must be handled very gently. with the least possible pressure exerted In molding. The usual shapes are ball, cone. cylinder. chop and cut let. The last two shapes require a larger amount of croquette mix ture than the others. The following suggestions for shaping may help you.
 TO shape croquettes, first thor oughly wash hands and rinse in cold water but do not dry. Take q rounded tablespoon of the mixture and place on n molding board and shape quickly with fingers. Roll tho mixture into ball first. Then lf not wanted in this shape. roll tc cylinder and fatten ends. If q cone is wanted. hatten bottom and gently roll with greater pressure on top,
 The inside of all croauette, should bc soft and creamy and the outside crisp and brown.

A new cute one is an individual umbrella. quite small, which folds up in sec tlons into a cute case that has van fly and mirror in the top and the whole thing goes into a weekend bag.
 Young folks are particularly well pleased with trick gifts thai really are usable. Desks that are also radios and bookcases are wonderful contributions to their happiness. Women like the new little sleeveless chamois vests that are either worn as blouses or over blouses for q jacket. Smoke sets that combine cigarette boxes, lighters and whole sets of six or dozen ash trays are good, too.

 For hostesses some of the new centerpieces that are candelnbra' flower vases or fruit dishes are ex- cellent. and brand new.
