But Brazilians, as you know, ,
speak Portuguese, which was
all that was lacking in this

For Holiday
BY ELEANOR ROSS

THE HAPPY season of Christ
mas home hospitality is almost
here and il is time 10 get the
house in order so that IL will
look its best and so that hospi-
tally will be as easy and pleas
ant as possible for hostess as
well as for guests.
Lavish affairs are out, and
today the household is scarcely
gearcd for big doings. The home
maker who wants 10 enjoy these
festivities will apply the adage
of getting the task Of prepare
ton well "A hand before the holt
days-and substantive.
Home parties are like club
parties, in the fact that the ones
that are most successful are the
ones that have been well
planned and organized.
Plan Parties Ahead
II is a good idea TO set down
on paper exactly what needs
doing. and then accomplish the
various undertakings in lei
surely fashion. thus avoiding
that dangerous last minute rush
when nothing is done right.
On such a list would undoubt-
edly be washing the china and
glassware to be used. seeing
that table cloths are spotless,
inspecting the silver for spar
king cleanliness and making
sure that there is an adequate
supply of clean bedding for over
night guests, and that there are
plenty of towels.
Menus too, can be planned in
advance even il the actual prep
aration Of dishes must be de-
ferred until the actual day of
the feast or part.
Order Staples
Staple groceries can be or
dered well ahead of time and
stocked in the cupboard before
hand, TO avoid that frightful
last minute other about having
flavoring for the cake or sage
for the stuffing.
Preliminary inspection OF sup
ply cabinets may reveal not only
what is lacking but that the
shelf covering is dusty and the
containers finger marked. and
that a good thorough cleaning
is in order 10 bring the real
holiday spirit into the kitchen.
A home that Is untidy in any
particular seems inconsistent
with holiday making. so critical
home makers will include put
ting up fresh curtains, busting
Venetian blinds and draDes. as
part OF the general advance
