 Fill sherbet glasses with smooth, velyety vanilla cream and level off with a silver knife. Then scoop out a small hollow in the center of the cream. Into this depression pour a little rhum, and send at once to the table. If you are us- ing the melorolls, place the roll upright in the sherbet glass, make an indentation in the top, fill with rhum and allow a little to run down around the edges.
 Egg nog ice cream is available in the market and it is especially good for holiday menus. It can be bought packed in dry ice to keep perfectly until time for serv- ing. This is a relatively new flavor among the commercial ice creams, which makes it something of an innovation at most tables.
 Sometimes a water ice nicely tapers off the hearty Thanksgiv- ing dinner. An unusual touch can be given to the menu by having

Thanksgiving 
BY LAURA KAY

A1AAN~4~A9
 For the Thanksgiving dinner ta- ble, an odd vegetable centerpiece never fails to receive enthusiastic comment Buy large and perfect cabbage, carefully fold back the out side leaves and remove the center portion, keeping the leaves attached to a hit of the center core. Now make bowl from a well shaped pumpkin, set it in the cabbage nest and fill it with baby carrots with the green tops on, a stalk of celery, a small purple eggplant, red beets scrubbed until their cheeks glow, white and purple turnips and perhaps an ear of corn. Rare flowers could not be more appropriate for this ho- liday which marks the end of the harvest.
 For the first course you will find cream of beet soup a nice change .. and very tasty.
 My preference for the turkey is plain bread stuffing seasoned high- ly with the usual poultry seasoning and put into the bird perfectly dry. Thus both meat and stuffing retain the full flavor of the turkey; the dressing will be well moistened with the juices of the meat.
 Try your Thanksgiving sweet po- tatoes this way: Parboil them in the skins until almost done; peel and cut in half. Put in a skillet and pour over them cup of white sugar and half a cup of vinegar; add butter the size of an egg. Let come to a boil and cook until the po- tatces are thoroughly done. When almost ready to serve put the pan over the fire again and cook until the syrup is thick and brownish.
 A good Thanksgiving vegetable is the turnip and here is a new way to prepare it: Cut turnips in dice and parboil in Salted water. Drain and wash in cold water. Now make a ITCH WulLS sauce, uSuAS plcAlty OA butter. Add one-fourth of ripe red pepper, minced finely; put the tur- nips in a buttered baking dish, add the sauce and bake in the oven for about 20 minutes.
 For extra vegetables, if you want them, nothing is finer than little boiled onions with a butter sauce and string beans cut on the bias.
 A change from the usual dessert is Prune and Cranberry Pie. Fol four persons, cook separately two cups of prunes and a cup and halt of cranberr:es, using no sugar. Mash the prunes and berries and strain the latter, but not the first. Mix both pubs, add three-fourths cup of su- gar and big piece of butter and cook until thickened. Pour into ar unbaked pastry shell and cover with lattice-w work of crust or a full crust; or you may use a meringue o1 whipped cream for the top.

GREGORY AND APPLE SALAD

Mix equal quantities of shred ded chicory, diced apples and cell cry. Add one tablespoon of chop ped pimiento and marinate in French dressing. Drain quickly, arrange on plates decorated with sprigs of chicory and serve with a topping of paprika mayonnaise and ring of stuffed olive.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-11-18
VENISON STEAK

Trim the steak and broil as you would a beafsteak, having the venison underdone. Spread with butter and season well. Serve with plain or with a currant jelly sauce made by heating a glass of jelly until melted, then adding bit by bit one tablespoon of but ter. Cook for only one minute, add one tablespoon of sherry and serve with YeniSon.

Individual cranberry tarts will give Thanksgiving appetites a new lease on enthusiasm when dessert time comes. This finale to the feast will delight the housewife, too, because, while the turkey is majestically en- Sconced in the oven she can make her tart filling without any cook ing whatever.

 water after they are cooked. Drain immediately and set the potatoes over hot water. For reasonable time peas, beans, eel cry and like vegetables may stand in the water in which they have cooked until it is time to serve them. Re-heat, drain, add butter or cream sauce and send to the table.
 The small fish, such as smelts, trout, baby cat fish and others are excellent when fried in deep fat. Remove fins and tails; the heads may be left on for the sake of ap- pearance. Dust with salt and pepper, roll in crumbs and fry in the hot oil or fat.

Now is the time for all wise
women to take inventory of their
figures. June is just around the
corner and with the coming Of
summer turks that bugaboo--the
bathing suit-to those who have let
themselves slip during the fall and
winter months. Bathing suits have
become more abbreviated and more
revealing every year. Gone are the
days when bathing suits began at
the collar bone and ended below the
knee. Bathing suits are bathing
suits no longer they are swim suits,
and as such give only the minimum
of coverage. The slightest bulge,
the smallest hollow shows up and is
magnified to the nth degree. Stand
in front of a full-length mirror and
see If you honestly are satisfied with
the figure you are going to cut on

whatever yours are, begin them to-

And now for your skin. You

you take your bath give yourself
thorough going over with the brush
and plenty Of warm suds. You can
actually feel your skin tingle and

dead winter skin will be loosened
and the new skin will be clear and

give your elbows the attention that
is their due. Avoid the habit OF
leaning on them. How can they be
otherwise than rough and red f.
they must bear half the weight Of
the body? A little lotion applied to
the legs after scrubbing them with
the bath brush will help to keep
them smooth and soft. Legs come
in for their share Of attention on
the beaches. Don't neglect them.f
And then there's the item of feet,
A little lotion won't hurt them
either in those spots where your
shoes have rubbed. Give yourself
a pedicure. If you are going to use
bright polish on your toe nails, and
many people are, be sure that your
feet are In good condition before

Working Together
By Mary D. Mcfarland

AGd1 ASCcbdCA0s gill 3 OAAA6 w
have little friendly chat with you
about an enterprise in which we
all should be vitality interested.
The Recorder, as you all know,
is our own race newspaper.
Through its weekly editions we are
informed of the social, political,
business, and fraternal affairs of
our people. 1t is also the only me-
dunn through which we give ex-
preston of the injustices and dis
elimination against us.
1t is quite true we need subscrip-
tons. for our paper, but we need
even more the spirit of co-opera-
ton, working together in the vari-
Gus interests connected with the
paper. These are days of co-opera-
ton. 1t is only by this method of
working that we can receive re-
suits not only for our paper, but
for the numerous enterprises in
which Negroes are involved.
/ wonder how many of you read
the advertising in this paper. Now
l must admit do not always read
advertisements or appeals in all
newspapers, but / do read the ad-.
vertisements which appear in this
newspaper first to see the class of
firms which use our paper for their
advertisements, and second, to en-
deavor to give my patronage to
those firms.
l am moved to say that if you
get the habit Of reading the ad-
vertisements in your paper you will
develop a sympathetic attitude to-
ward Negro business which is so
much needed to combat the anti
success psychology for which our
group is noted.
There is no need of fumbhng
around trying to establish brother
hood without actually being broth
erly towards each other.
We must know that one of the
main elements in securing success
of a minority group such as ours
must be solidarity and superior eff
fciency. This the Recorder, St.
Paul, and the Spokesman, Mime
apois, is endeavoring to accom-
plish. During the last three weeks
several firms have seen fit to use
our paper for advertising purposes.
The T. A. Borg Furniture Store adj
vertised some outstanding values in
the St. Paul Recorder. In justice
to yourselves and your paper you
should show your appreciation to
this store by giving them your pat
ronage. Every Negro in need of a
piece of furniture should visit the
T. A. Borg Furniture Store. Pat
ronize the firm who patronizes you.
This is the kind of cooperation
which is able to solve our prob
lens and put us on the side of VIC
tory.
Let us stop complaining about
injustices and discrimination by
white people and ignore them alto
gether, for remember that there is
not a single injustice done US which
we do not practice among our
selves, unless it's lynching. There
is not a single discrimination So
cially which white people practice
against US which we do not prac-
tice among ourselves.
Friends, let us institute a deter
mination and a movement among
ourselves here in the Northwest of
working together for the best in
terest of the race and thereby pro-
duce a finer quality of manhood
womanhood and childhood. The
conclusion of the whole matter is
we must work together for our OWL
race development and perfection.
