Pleasing
The Man
Plenty Of Help for Papa
By CHLOE JAMESON

Comes cry from a long-suffer-
ing husband and father who each
year plods patiently through the
service of Christmas dinner-with
help from none.
"They all sit around and talk and
look at me and make remarks while
I carve the turkey and serve every
thing that goes with it," he says.
MY wife thinks 1t isn't proper to
pass things along any more, SO she's
stopped helping me out by serving
vegetables and gravy. BY the time
I get through with everybody else
I feel like I've done days work" "
Without even turning a page in
the Book Of Etiquette, let us take a
common sense view of this thing.
If Father consents to carve the tur-
key at the table, and give each one
a piece of stuffing, why couldn't one
of the children stand at attention
to receive the plate and take 1t on
down to Mother, custodian of the
two vegetables then place each
plate where 1t belongs. The gravy
boat could cruise around the table
to each one In turn without Offend
ing any sensible person. If the
truth be known, everyone has spe-
cial spot where he prefers to put his
own gravy, and he likes just so

As all the members Of the fam
lily sit around the hearth during the
holiday vacation time, homemade
candy Is one Of the traditions"
which gives atmosphere to the
scene. Although the homemade
CONNECTION may be q luxury during
the rest Of the year, at Christmas
time it's q tradition. In the max
ing Of candy, dairy products-milk,
butter and cream play an impor-
tant part. The unique flavor Of but.
ter, rich milk and cream gives q
superior deliciollsness to candy. In
the old-fashioned candies. taffy,
peanut brittle, butterscotch, made
by our grandmothers, butter was all
ways used generously. A few old
time recipes are suggested.
Delicious Butter Scotch
cup sugar
u cup brown sugar.
1-3 cup white corn syrup
1-3 cup butter
X cup thick cream
! tsp. vanilla
Lie tsp. salt
Place all the ingredients ex-
cept the vanilla in q kettle, stir I'M
til mixed thoroughly, bring to the
boiling point and boil to 246 de-
grees r., or until the mixture is
thick enough to keep its shape when
dropped in cold water and nodded
with the fingers. Remove from the
stove and add vanilla. This mixture
may be poured into buttered pan
and shaped into balls when cool.
Roll the balls in powdered sugar.
Butter scotch marshmallows can
b. made by keeping the delicious
butter scotch hot over warm water
and dipping marshmallows into the

This Years Game
A Monopoly party Is the smartest way
to entertain this winter. The fashion
able craze for this lively real estate
trading game now appeals even to those
determined to 60 to bed early. New
short rules cut playing time in half by
doubling all printed values on the board
as well as rentals and penalties or by
picking the winner after the second or
third bankruptcy. The continued Juror
for Monopoly has set q new world
record for game crazes, far outstripping
the backgammon and mahjongg fads
which each doomed for two years.

it win be fine old friends-the
onions and turnips and cauliflower
and squash-without which turkey
and ali the extras would feel quite
lonesome, but which man gives
quite second place.
To guard against this forgetting,
let me try to tempt you with
somewhat different recipe. Dreamed
onions are standard for the Christ
mas menu. But here Is combina-
ton that Is not Ear from the orig
inal dish, yet much more intrigu-
ing.
Onions with Peanuts
Put one cup Of peanuts through
the grinder. Peel three medium
sized Spanish onions, slice them
and cook In boiling sailed water
until tender. Drain off all the
liquor. Make medium white sauce
usin gone tablespoon Of butter to
one Of flour for thickening one cup
of milk. Place a layer Of the cooked
onions In buttered baking dish
sprinkle with the grounds nuts and
add q layer Of the sauce; repeat
until all ingredients are used. Then
spread top with buttered crumbs
and bake In q moderate oven until
the crumbs are golden brown.

are planned along thoughtful lines.

turkey dinner. ; There Is delicious
bread and celery stuffing for the
etarchy member, with giblet gravy:
mashed yellow turnips and creamed
onions or such a dish as the
one with peanuts Just given. nicely
round out the course. This ito my
mind Is much more sensible - and
more enjoyable - than the tempta-
ton Of heavily sugared sweet po-
tatoes or mashed potatoes made
rich with butter and cream; ana
1t Is infinitely better for the d.
gestion.
This year, If we could all be
persuaded to plan the holiday
menus with these thoughts in mind,
I can assure you there would be
less beautifying to be done after
New Years. Complexions would not
look sad and sallow; eyes would
not be ringed with pslffs >. ana
for those past the early thirtiies
there would be no distressing little
