Christmas boxes and have, as usual,
found splendid suggestions from the
Clearing House column.

cookie recipes which are fairly old,

make them nice to send to our boys

Christmas two Of these were not
consumed (namely SNOWFALL and

weeks after holiday season, owing to
the flu, etc. They seem to get quite
crisp and hard with standing Tin
