feasting the real dish Of the day
was the great wild boar's head
carried to the table on a tray or
platter lifted high over the heads
of the men who bore it into the
banquet hall.
There was always a goose, or
maybe several geese, which were
distributed by the great families
to the tenants on the farms and
the folk in the villages. But so
good were these roasted geese that
as wild boars became scarce the
roasted goose graduated to the top
round of favor To this day in
many parts of Europe the goose is
the real Christmas bird. But not
so in America. Here the turkey has
chased the goose almost out of sight
and the great boar's head is only a
story book memory.
Even if wartime has curtailed our
traditional feast We can remember
and dream-and work to make it

different standards, and it Is these
changed husbands that the starry
eyed brides and the romantic girl
sweethearts should prepare them
selves to meet. For the day of the
clinging-vine woman and the child

be no place in the postwar world for

For men will come out of the war

They will have seen women who

without f1inching ,urder them.
Women who stood side by side with
surgeons over operat ting tables until
they dropped with fatigue. Women.
used to luxury and softness, who
toiled in munitions factories and
did the most menial labor. Women
with as high a sense of duty and
who were as faithful and loyal as
any knight of old.
And to these men the women who
sit down and cry for a mink coat.
or who wall over not being able to
get silk stockings, or who, in a
world drenched with blood and torn
with agony, have nothing to talk
about except the length OF skirts,
and who have not even had the
strength to be faithful to their hus-
bands and sweethearts and to give
up their good times for the sake of
the men who are risking their lives
for them will seem pretty poor,
cheap creatures, not worthy of any
mans love.
So I would urge every war bride
and every girl who is twirling an
engagement ring on her finger, to
get ready to meet this new man who
Is coming home from the war.

Unusual Holiday Dinner Suggestion

Although three centuries of GUS
tom have made turkey for holiday
dinners an American institution, a
newcomer-the domestic rabbits
rapidly forging ahead to a place of
prominence on the bill of fare dur
ing the Christmas season.
Cookery experts of the Fish and
Wildlife' Service, United States De-
partment OF the Interior, are offer
ing this suggestion:
Why not serve a delicious roast
rabbit, with sage stufing, on
Christmas or New Year Day?"
Because roast rabbit with stufing
is rather novel way OF preparing
rabbit meat, food technologists of
the service have recently developed
a new recipe for holiday use which
is now being offered to housewives
for the first time. ~---,ss
The recipe has been tested at the

Christmas Food Story

Traditional Christmas Day with
its roast turkey and its mince pie
and its plum pudding-what a
blending 1t has of religious faith
and ancient feasting custom
The Yule log, the fir tree, Santa
Claus himself, all come from out of
the depths of the wild forests of
Central and Northern Europe. They
were all there long before the
Christian missionaries came to con-
vert the heathen of those dark lands
And then they became evidences of
good will and good feeling on the
Day of the Nativity.
On the continent, among the
Northern peoples. they still exist as
OF old. The Angles and the Saxons
coming into England only strength
ened the customs of the Danes and
the Jutes many of which had come
before them. And from England
they came in time to America, even
though the Puritans did their best
to make the eating of mince pie a
sin. But other Christian folk knew
better and SO mince pie. plum pud-
ding and the other good things are
here today.
First Of the great feast day good
things was the "yule-cake' This
was the peace offering from one to
all. 1t was made of the finest -four
and sweetened with honey and en-
bellished with fruits and nuts.
Probably it is the forerunner of our
holiday fruit cake. But there is
this difference-the old time ''yule-
cake" was enjoyed first of all not on
Christmas Day but on the eve be-
fore Christmas. The cake was
always tremendous in size. or else
it was made into whole family of
cakes. And every one was urged to
take more. with it was served hot
-spiced beverages and often the
cake was soaked in these liquids.
Every one ate literally, but no one
failed to wrap up some and save it
for Christmas Day. 1t would have
been indicative of very bad luck
indeed if none were saved for that
occasion.
Then on Christmas itself there
came forth the great plum pud-
ding Originally this was really
made of plums-plums or actually
dried prunes stewed in water to a
soft mass and then mixed into a
dough of rice or barley or other
grains and all sewed up in a bag
and baked or boiled or steamed

the butter substitute, blend in the
-four and stir in the wine in which
the oysters were poached Stir con-
stantly until the mixture boils and
thickens. Stir in the milk, salt. pep
per and nutmeg. Combine one cup
OF the white sauce with the crab
meat or shrimp, which have been
mashed or minced. Arrange crab
meat or shimp mixture in scallop
shells or ramekins. Place two or three
poached oysters on each and pour

Bv the VicfOrv Chef


From this simple mixture has come
the plum pudding of today-made
without plums but still the plum
pudding-and very much a part of
Christmas. The holly which deco
rates it comes from an old Druidic
custom, and when some people burn
brandy on the pudding they are
unconsciously turning to the still
more ancient fire worship-but to-
day they are all good Christian
customs of Christmas Day.
And then there is the mince pie
once just good old fashioned
mutton pie with gravy and condi-
ments all done up in a crust for
handy eating For Christmas Day
sweets and nuts and fruits were
mixed in with the bits of meat to
make real holiday pie. and that is
why Little Jack Horner, sitting in
his corner and eating his Christ
mas pie. was able to stick in his
thumb and pull out plum-while
he told one and all what a good little
bov he was.
Pumpkin pies came first as an
American working partner of the
mlnce pie-a contribution of the
garden patches of the Pilgrims. To-
day pumpkin pie in this country
competes on even terms with the
mince pie.

There's no need to worry about

beautifully for the real Mexican
frijoles, which all belong to the kid
ney bean family anyway-and they
make perfectly wonderful salads.
Something hot and something cold
for a party supper is always a good
rule, so how about corn dodgers to

would be the ideal thing. of course.

L WLSll tlldL was SOLllC way
in which the war brides and the
little young engaged girls could be
made to realize that when the war
is over and their Johnnies come
marching home that they will not
be the same boys they kissed good
by when they left, and that they
should be preparing themselves for
these strange men who are coming
into their lives, as the fortune tell
ers say.
When they think of their hus-
bands and flances. they see them as
they look in the photographs on
their dressing tables-young and
handsome and boyish, full of the
high spirits of youth, wanting to
dance and 60 places and have good
times, asking nothing Of them ex-
cept to stay pretty and slim, and
know the Lindy Hop and be always
ready to step out with them.
But, alas. there is no going back
in life There is no repeating an
old happiness. There is no way to
summon again the thrill of van
ished day. No human being re-
mains static He or she goes for
ward or backward, is touched and
nodded by new experiences, time
takes its toll of even our most be-
loved so that when we come to-
gether again we meet almost as
strangers.
And If this is true of what separa-
ton does to the human relationship
in normal times and under normal
conditions, in war it is thousand
times more potent to change the
individual No man who goes
through the drastic training of the
soldier; who lives the rough life of
the camp for two Or three years,
where his only associates are other
fighting men; who faces danger and
death, is ever again an irresponsi-
