your morning grapefruit in l6-
ounce frozen packets. Expert
ments during the past year have
perfected methods for freezing
grapefruit segments. This will
be the only form in which civil
ians can buy processed grape
fruit. The entire pack of cam
ned grapefruit is set aside for

Recent research in frozen
foods has turned up many new
products. Applesause is a new

sentiment, whose heart over
flowed with fine, milky human
kindness.
It's the wrong picture.
Dickens was as sour as only a
disappointed author can be. He
was stuck between two install
ments of Martin Chuzzlewit,"
which was appearing serially in
London and was doing much
worse than its predecessors-the
immortal Pickwicks adventures
and oliver Twist"
He was in debt, too, and his
relatives were bounding him on
all sides. They made ridiculous
requests for fantastic sums, and
Dickens wore himself out grant
ing them, or lodging them. And
he was in the midst of fight
with his publisher.
The firm was Chapman and
Hall, and Forster's standard
Dickens biography describes the
battle in detail. Dickens left the
firm, but not without few we'll
aimed blows. One of these is
immortal, just like the Carol.
He made Samuel Carter Hall in
TO Pecksniff, in Martin Chuz-
zlewit.' The nice thing is that,
according to Forster, Hall didn't
recognize himself.
But shortly before Christmas
Of l843 Dickens was seized with
the idea OF doing a special
Christmas story--it was a habit
with authors in those days. He
got his idea, and he was trans
ported by il. He wept, 1t is
said, and laughed, and in the
dark of the London night he left
his house and took repeated
walks of IS and 20 miles, obliv-

had expected 1000 pounds and
he actually got less than zoe
