1t was charming little house, and
the two old people who lived in it
were charming little old people.
There was something wonderfully toy
like about the place, from the tiny
picket fence that surrounded it to
the two tiny shrubs by the porch
steps. And everything about this toy
like place was trim and immaculate.
There were starched muslin curtains
in the doll-sized windows. There was
little brass monkey, polished till it
shone, on the little white door,
But now Audrey was crying aloud
in her joy. She had discovered her
tree. 1t was fir tree, already nailed to
its wooden base, and propped against
the side of this Lilliputian house.
Il can't even believe itr' Audrey
cried. Its giganticr'
"What'd tell you?" said Tom.
She helped Tom and his grandfather
strap the tree to the car. Then, of
course. they had to 60 into the house
to say goodby to old Mrs. Courtney.
Some sort of ancient timepiece on
the mantel had wheezed asthmatic-
ally. 1t had wheezed seven times.
Audrey stood smiling, trying to give
no sign of impatience. Tom would
not hurry. however. He would not
even hint the slightest need to hurry.
WELL" Audrey ventured at last,
Il think we ought to 60 now"
But Toms grandmother turned in
quick protest. my dear child, l
wouldn't dream of letting you leave
this house without bite to eat!'
She looked wistful even a little
hurt - as Audrey hesitated. Audrey
had not the heart to refuse her. After
all, she thought, bite to eat shouldn't
take more than five minutes. And five
minutes - one way or the other -
couldn't make much difference. She
would have the tree to show Gene
right away. 1t wasn't as if she would
mt have the tree.
The mere bite to eat turned out
to be figure of speech, however. Old
Mrs. Courtney knew her grandson's
appetite and took loving pride in it.
The two young people were regale6 /.
with the toothsome delicacies of the
season - with biscuits and honey
and homemade jam, with bread and
butter and delicate slices of cold
chicken and baked ham, with rich,
fat squares of gingerbread and fruit
cake, with generous pieces of mnce
and pumpkin pie.
"Therev' old Mrs. Courtney said
- beaming on them. That will give
you just little something to 60 on.
With that long drive ahead of you"
1T was, certainly, going to be long
and tedious drive. Audrey was not
going to get back to Melville in time
for the first performance of He Loved
Me Yesterday - and it would be a
miracle if she got back in time for thez
second performance. For now, of
course, it had to be showing.
The furry of snow came faster and
faster and Toms windshield wiper
swung back and forth on the glass.
Il like night like this" Tom said.
Il think it's swell"
Audrey peered at the road ahead.
Then she looked at him out of the
corner of her eye, trying to make up
her mind if he had been altogether
innocent in this affair. 1t hardly
seemed likely - although, of course,
he was not responsible for the snow.
But you don't need to look so
pleased about it." she said aloud
why not? I'm pleased being with
you. That's your fault. That's your
fatal attraction - Look, here's Coop
er's.'

.LargeT Turkeys Go Farther
 And Cost Less

Hartford, Nov. 14.-"You1l make no mistake if you select large sized turkey for your coming Thanksgiv- ing feast" was Commissioner of Agriculture Olcott F. Kings advice to Connecticut housewives when asked today to comment on the coming Thanksgiving celebration.
 (Which Thanksgiving do you rec ommend2" the commissioner was asked.
 T recommend that Connecticut people eat turkey on both the Fist and again on the 28th," he replied.
 Our turkey growers in this state have a fine crop this year of over 10000 birds, now ready to be stuff ed, roasted and carved. These Con. necticut turkey raiSerS have become experts at giving their birds just the right kind of special care so as to insure having them nicely fin- iShed for the holidays.
 There will not be enough of these extra fine birds for every body. We have about i've times as many fam lilies as native turkeys in this state, so that those housewives who insist on having one of these specialized, locally-grown birds must expect to pay a little more than for an aver age turkey.
 More Economical
 "Getting back to the advantage or a large sized turkey: The large turkeys are more economical. This Is because the proportion of meat IS greater on large bird and the percentage of inedible bone is less. Also because many retailers sell their largest toms of 20 pounds or over for a lower price per pound.
 Another advantage is explained In the following discussion of the large turkey subject quoted from Old Poultryman' in the New Jer- sey Poultryman:
 "1 know a couple (not such biz eaters, either) who never buy less than an 18-pound bird. The woman say it's a lot of work to prepare turkey for eating and she wants enough to last awhile - that is her compensation for the time spent in preparation. They eat turkey for several days, then they intersperse 1t with a steak or chops, then back to turkey, etc.
 "This housewife never puts a rack (the almost meatless skeleton) on the table. She contends that tires the family of the bird. After the first days serving the turkey is never seen out of the kitchen, but a nice platter of meat comes to the table, well garnished. She also intersperses sliced turkey with creamed, au gratin, croquettes, sal- ads, and even grinds and makes gelatine salads with the "pickin's" and then winds the bird up with soup made from the turkey bones. And they have turkey several times a year. She says families of from four to six are foolish to ever think of less than 2o-pound bird. She always contends there is less waste to the amount of meat the larger the turkey"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-11-14
Leftover
 Turkey Always In Demand
Says DOROTHY GREIG

The turkey is in full glory on the first day, appearing in all his golden succulence and tenderness as a whole roasted bird.
 The second day he does nobly, too as cold platter filled with legs and wings and slices of breast meat meat around mound of savory dressing.
 But by the third and fourth days while there's lots of him left, he is pretty much reduced to scraps. That's where big change takes place. He returns to the family table all dressed up as fresh hot dishes and We rejoice and enjoy him with renewed zest.

BREAST OF LAMR

This long, thin cut is breast Of lamb. It may be bOned and rolled into compact form for roasting or braising, or 1t may be left flat and stuffing placed in . pocket. Another way to use this cut is to have 1t cut between the ribs into riblets, It may also be cut into cubes for stew.
 Perhaps you have used breast of lamb as a basis for lamb stew, cut ting it into small pieces. Try serv- ing 1t with stufnng next time you decide upon lamb for family or company dinner.
 Breast of lamb is a narrow, thin strip of meat, containing the ends of ribs. It can be boned and rolled into a compact roast, or 1t can be cut into riblets. For a stuffed roast, 1t is left flat and a pocket is cut from one end, next to the bone.
 Kinds of Stuffings
 Any bread stuff1ng may be used. Rice is also a very good stuffing. Or you might have the cavity filled with ground lamb. Lamb breast, stuffed with ground lamb, can be sliced and broiled like chops, or 1t can be praised. Lamb breast is tender enough to roast, and 1t is also very good when praised. Here are directions for cooking 1t both ways, with suggestions for specially good stufings.
 Breast of Lamb Praised

 For instance, what could be finer than a stuffed breast of lamb as the main dish for g special occa- sion? This is one of the less de- manded cuts, of lamb, but it is as fine in flavor and high in food value as any other part.
