Merry Christmas! I hope this
day has been most jolly and that
your Christmas dinner has made
you the star of the season by its
success.
For friends who come in late
this evening or during the holi-
days, why not start again by serv-
ing delicious beverages?
The traditional beverage IS
eggnog and since repeal the art
of making it has again been re
vived. Other types of beverages
can be served to those who do not
care for this drink.
If several friends are coming in,
why not make it gay occasion,
push the dining table against the
wall, decorate in very Christ
maSSy manner, and serve buffet
style?
Red candles with polished fruit
in center platter make gay deco
rations. Pomegranates, perSim-
mons. polished apples, pears. and
assorted grapes make a most at
tractive center.
At one end Of the table have
your eggnog in the huge crystal
bowl and, for those who do not
care for this type of refreshment,
have at the other your silver tea
service.
Pastries
Open faced sandwiches, small
Christmas pastries, and little cakes
make delicious refreshments. Sug-
AIRED orange peel may also be in
cluded.
Eggnog making is an art that
can be mastered if few simple
rules are followed. Tastes vary,
so the amount of sugar used may
vary in amount.
The eggs, of course, are beaten
separately but special care should
be used to see that the protein in
the yolks is not coagulated when
added to the other ingredients.
Have ingredients chilled.
This recipe for eggnog is time
honored, and is contributed by a
connoisseur who considers the
blending of flavors an art.

ChiId'S Early Years

Is bedtime a happy time for
your children, or are there la
ments and whines and out-and-
out bowls? Bedtime ought to be
happy, for the sake of both chill
dren and parents.
RompS with children just before
bedtime are to be avoided. Much
better have a quiet hour of music,
or reading, or storytelling. But
be sure not to read one of those
blood-curdling fairy stories that
we sometime complacently accept
as just the thing for little tots.
They have much the same hor-
rifying effect on a young child as
you yourself feel after reading
some dreadful tale from real life.
But the child can't throw off the
fear. 1t may carry over into the
hours of sleep, causing night ter
rors.
Let the child have a bed Of his
own, and if possible. a room of
his own. See that the pre-school
child gets a good nap in the after
noon, at least until he is 4. The
nervous, high-strung child is par
ticularly in need of this rest.
Help the small youngster un-
dress when he is tired and sleepy,
and do not scold or punish him
at bedtime. If he protests at going
off to bed, be quiet and firm. Keep
the bedtime hour exactly the same.
and teach the little chap to tell
time. Let him know a few min
utes beforehand that he will soon
have to stop what he is doing and
go to bed.
If, after he is three, he still has
accidents at night, consult your
doctor to see whether there is a
physical cause for bed-wetting. Do
not give the child much fluid after
4 p. M, and take him up twice
during the night. Do not Scold
him for the habit; he is not to
blame.
Bedtime problems are not the
only ones which may puzzle a
parent. All sorts of practical ad-
vice is offered in our 4O-page illus

the punch. If preferred, cider
may be used instead of the orange
juice and only two-thirds as much
lemon juice used.
The punch should, of course, be
garnished with fruit. Candied
cherries. sliced orange or sprigs of
mint add festive colors.

recipe for ambrosia. Ambrosia is
the favorite Christmas fruit drink

children. Seven months ago
my wife left us and 1 have
never heard from her since,

State Treasurer Otto Case and
Kenneth Harlan of Tacoma would
be receptive candidates but there is
no pronounced following for either
at this stage of the game.
Some of the master minds be-
hind the Democratic scenes are

closest friendships with Senators
Bone and Schwellenbach.
Cannon may not be available. He
recently ccepted the appointment
of Progress Works Director for the
VERA and that position will leave
him little time for campaigning.
LITTLE SURPRISES
Apparently Little has noambition

recent scramble for political pat

sought an appointment of any kind.
This is rather unique distinction.

polled surprising vote of over S.

In the six months ended February 20,

During the period under report, bank

amounting to $943,551 compared with
losses totaling $1,257, 900 year ago, he
said. This reduction in losses is attrib-

British Isles Possess
Most Temperate Climate
The Bahama islands, lying few
hundred miles southeast of the coast
of Florida, were settled by Loyalists
from the United States after the Amer
lean Revolution, notes writer In the
Montreal Herald The islands have
the most temperate climate in the
world and the crop season extends
throughout the whole year.
The land was at first divided into
large plantations using slave labor,
after the fashion of the southern
states. Cotton and tropical fruits
were the great export crops while corn
and live stock were produced for local
needs. Cotton was abandoned after
few years since it rapidly exhausted
the thin soil and with the abolition of
slavery the land was gradually broken
up into small holdings, cultivated by
both white and colored farmers.
The big limiting factor in the agri-
culture OF these islands Ii the pc

CANDIDATES ACTIVE

1t is impossible for one to travel
pie in different walks of life with
out being impressed with the SER
iousness with which the average
citizen is thinking about the COM
ing gubernatorial race. Many are al
ready prophesying, with certain
amount of exactness and certainty,
just who the nominees of the two
major parties will be and even the
winner in the final election.
In the Republican ranks is con-
siderable evidence of activity on
the part of four prospective candi-
dates.
Feelers have been sent out by
former Congressman Ralph Horr !;
Judson Faiknor, candidate for gov
ernor in 1892, and Walter Meier,
prominent Seattle attorney. Former
Governor Romano H. Hartley of
Everett and Irwin Jones of Wen
atchee are also in the running.
In the eastern part of the state,
the prevailing sentiment --sems Ito
favor Jones. He is a former state
gion, an active Kiwanian and was
one of the leaders in the Reno Cd
lin camp last year.
SWING INFLUENCE

will go to Jones or Fallnor but at
the present time tire is little Ito
choose betewen the two. --Fallnoa
would inherit more of the .-Odlin
handicap in the finals, should he be
nominated, because of his banking
and corporation connections.
Meier is well regarded in Elk
and Masonic circles, but is little
known among the rank and file.
Horn, on the other hand, has a.
large personal following and If he
can hold the vote polled by him
when he ran for senator and then
add new support to that, he will be
tmong the fovorites.
Hartley still has a host of friends
that want to see him back in the
state house. His strength lies in
the rank and file where courage is
the governing factor and with
whom Hartley has always been not
ed for his courage. Even his bitter
est enemies will admit that if he
breakes loose from his former cab
met advisors and plays the game in
the true Hartley style, he is almost
sure to be the numeber one man
for the Republicans. If he doesn' t
pull away from the old crowd, then
he may as well save his time and
money and that of his friends.
