TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

For the past fifteen years l
have been engaged in Electrical
work in Key West, other cities IN
Florida and the North. During
the past year 1 have contracted
a large number of jobs which
have been done satisfactory to
the owner.
One Of my latest jobs was cleo
trical installation on Trumo Hotel
which was done satisfactory to
the management and to the un-
derwriterS' code.
This will serve to contradict
rumors which have been spread
by my enemies that this work
was not satisfactory and had to
be done over.
This statement can be con-
firmed by management of Trum-
DO Hotel.

dinner? Or just the family? In any
event you'll want Christmasy look
ing table and it can be accomplished
easily and inexpensively. Here are
three suggestions:
A large bowl, preferably of wood
and filled with shining fruits "a
bunch of grapes on top) gives a
festive air. You can lay wreath
Of holly about the bowl and use tall,
slender candles grouped about it.
Lace runners or doilies that reveal
the cleaning table top complete this
informal picture.
For an al-white table, use white
table cloth for your background and
miniature Christmas tree in the
center. For ends of the table, white
tapers In candelabra are excellent,
and around their bases use simulat-
ed snow, cotton sprinkled with tin
sci.
Flowers, while more expensive.
make a beautiful table. An arrange
ment of pompon chrysanthemums
and red roses in low bowl, bedded
by sprays of long-needle pine and
frosted with cones is particularly
attractive. A bit of holly gives it
a definite Christmas air. The en-
tire arrangement needs few more
than a dozen flowers. Such an ar
rangement should be kept low so
it will not hide the folks across the
table. For long table, make the
arrangement long; for a round table,
make it round.

-AAOHAT to buy mother,
tut, father, brother, Sis
INV ter and sweetheart is
A a perplexing prob
h lem every Christmas.
INV Most stores can give you
VI specific tips, and probably
there's something definite
you've already decided to buy. But
in case you're still puzzled here are
a few general tips:
For Mother:
Buy her something she would not
ordinarily buy herself. They tell
about the young housewife who
bought wooden muffler for her hus-
bands Woodworking mother, and a
fluffy, impractical gift for her own
mother who already had everything
she needed. By error the gifts were
switched. The young housewife was
Mortified but both mothers were
pleased beyond words.
Practically is nice thing but it's
nice to give a kitchen-chained moth
er something besides household
equipment. Like perfume or bath
salts or a bed jacket. Or a pair of
sheer chiffon stockings. She'd also
like a necklace or bracelet, or a
carefully chosen set of costume jew
elry to dress up last years clothes.
These are just few tips-the stores
can amplify them hundred-fold.
For Father:
Ties, muff1ers, cigarette cases or
hose are always acceptable but
you've only scratched the possibili-
ties there. Does he have hobby

AROUND
\ THE HOUSE

Read the labels on canned foods.
Many tell the number of slices
contained in the can. Others give
additional useful information about
the contents.
About Grapefruit.-A soft, dis
colored area at the stem end of
a grapefruit indicates decay and
decay, even in one small spot, will
affect the flavor of the whole fruit.
Making Muffins.-Mufins should
be mixed just enough to moisten
all ingredients, but should not be
stirred. Stirring develops gluten
in the flour and makes the mullins
elastic and tough.
Picking LemOns.-Lemons that
have a fine-textured skin and are
heavy for their size are usually
of a better quality and have more
juice than those that are coarse
textured and light in weight.
Attractive Centerpiece.-A wood
en- salad bowl of the old-fashioned
chopping variety makes an attrac-
tive centerpiece for the holiday
party if it is filed with appetizers
assorted. Surround the bowl with
holly, pine and mistletoe sprigs.
Ventilate Kitchen.-The follow
ing bad air conditions in a kitchen
may cause fatigue: Not enough
oxygen or an excess of carbon
dioxide, and the presence of car
bon monoxide, excessive moisture
and excessive heat. The kitchen,
more than any other room, re-
quires frequent ventilation.

Removing fat is simple process.
First wipe the bird dry, inside and
out. Place in a covered rooster in
a 425-degree oven for 80 minutes to
start warming. Remove from oven
and cool. Remove fat. Repeat this
process twice.
Then stuff the goose, close the
opening of the body cavity and tie
the legs together. Weigh the bird,
allowing 20 to Is minutes to the
pound for roasting in a 325-degree
oven. Roast with breast side down.
You don't have to haste the bird
as it roasts, but orange juice with
grated rind may be used if desired.

that needs encouragement? Does he
have peculiar weakness for some
sport or a certain type of clothes
which he's Intentionally discouraged
because it's extravagant?
In the clothing line, besides the
first named items, you might look
at smoking jackets, cuff links or a
tie clasp set with his birthstone.
Maybe he needs exercise for that
waistline. Answer: Athletic equip
ment. Most men like games for
fireside entertainments, or they'd
appreciate a lunch kit for hunting
and fishing trips.
For Sister or Sweetheart:
Platter her tastes, and make it a
distinctly 'from-me-to-you'' sort of
gift. Jewelry is favorite standby.
Then there are books (Which are
regaining favor as gifts), a pair of
gloves, a desk set, book ends-or
how about real, live dog to stress
the Love me, love my dog" angle?
For Brother or Sweetheart:
If the young man is particularly
close to you there's an extremely
wide range of gifts. Otherwise an
expensive, elaborate gift might ex-
press too great an interest and you
might therefore be wise to stick to
the books-and-handkerchief line.
Proper choice of gifts requires a
cool analysis of the man. If he likes
the outdoor life, follow the sports
motif. If he works inside, how about
memo pad or desk set with a
large blotter and leather accesso-
ries? Generally speaking, avoid
tricky gifts and follow your sales
persons advice.
