SAVING WITHOUT SCRIMPING This Is The Way To Get The Most Out Of Your Christmas Turkey
By EDITH M. SHAPCOTT

come to mind. And to measure out mentally the amount of meat re- quired for each.
 With good management a To- pound turkey should serve a fam fly of four at least three times al dinner, with a possible fourth ser vice combined with some other food to piece out the dish. For Christmas, the roast turkey in all its glory.
 Another day, a delicious turkey souffle, or mousse, which will re- quire one cup of chopped turkey meat.
 A third day, a most fascinating turkey hash on toast hash ir which you may use bits of stuffing left over, if desired. Or if you con- sider hash too unattractive, use, the finely chopped turkey meat in youl favorite recipe for outlets or cro- quettes, fry them in deep fat anc serve with cream sauce seasoned with minced parsley.
 Turkey fritters are rather move and make dinner dish. Have then before the bird has been carved tot far down to yield sizable pieces. Cut the cold turkey in slices as uniform ly as possible, using both light anc dark meat; dust with salt and pep. per, dip in fritter batter and fry ir deep hot fat until a golden brown

 An Early Lunch Christmas Day

given to their needs.
 One of the incest things to give them as a forerunner of their Christmas meal is a serving of some delicate soup with crackers Nothing more, unless it be a piece of fresh fruit.
 If you are preparing old-fash- toned chicken soup for the grownup menu, the stock will be ready, no doubt, as early as Il o'clock. Some of it may be set aside for the chil- dren's lunch. Instead of making the broth into the finished cream soup for them at this time, serve it clear, with a garnish of the diced vegetables used to season your chicken broth. This will be just enough to quiet appetites without spelling them. A smaller serving of soup may be given the children at dinner, or the soup course omitted for them if desired.
 At this lunch do not give them any of the filling foods, such as creamed clipped beef on toast spaghetti and cheese, buttered rice or their equivalents. A little stewed fruit with a slice of buttered gra- ham toast would not be out of or der. But of all the light things we might think of for this special meal I know of nothing quite so good as the bowl of broth or serving of some simple cream soup such as cream of celery, spinach or tomato soup.
 If there are to be other little guests for Christmas dinner, and it is feasible to do SO, it adds to the orderly service of the meat to seat the children at their own ta- ble, where they can be served as you see fit, without the temptations that beset them when they are in plain sight of more robust appe- titeS.
 If wine is being served at the Big Table, let children have their coun- terpart in a fruit cup that resem- bles it; or they may have small glass of sweet cider. When coffee is served, give them hot cereal drink, which looks so much like coffee that they cannot tell the diff ference. So far as possible, elimi- nate every chance for discussion about what they shall or shall not have by this scheme of giving them a satisfactory substitute for things that are not good for them. It is their day almost before it is our day, and whatever we can do to promote harmony and satisfaction should be done cheerfully.

 For those good little plants that can be bought now at the dime store for 10 and 20 cents each, plan special Christmas windows. Select the plants with care for graduated sizes and odd shapes and buy enough to adequately furnish all the window Sills for the dining room. If possible see that there is a distinctly different collection for each win dow. with sufficient harmony in placing and sizes to give a reason able effect of unity.
 Now buy a half dozen or more sheets of different colored metal pa- papers the rich, deep purple, the paler amethyst, vivid emerald and chartreuse. gold, silver, ruby. bronze and crimson.

Holiday, Surprise Dishes
BY BETTY BARCLAY

If you wish to bring out all the delicious savoriness of a baked ham try cooking it in canned unsweetened Hawaiian pineapple juice.

Kitchen Comments

If you find that raisins always sink to the bottom of your cake, in spite of flouring them, try drop ping them in on top of the cake as it goes into the oven instead of mixing them through the batter in the usual way.
 When buying dates for Christmas candies remember that the "drv dates" are the ones that have the nutty flavor and the best keeping qualities. What the trade knows as camel dates are the pressed dates which come in packets. The choic- est dates-more expensive, of course, but worth it-come packed in glass containers. They are usually larger, more plump, and the best for use as confections.
