Preferred
Stuffings
BY PRUDENCE PENNY

WE ALL HAVE our favorite
stuffing VIXEN it comes to tur-
keys and other fowl. Many
times our preference is depen-
dent upon the kind of stuffing
we ate at Grandma'S. Geography
also seems TO have had a hand
in molding our preferences.
In Maine and Massachusetts,
which are near the great oyster
beds of the North Atlantic, the
popular vote is for oyster stuff
fling. The inland New England
states favor salt pork stuffing
and in Texas the choice Of many
is almond stuffing.
There is a wide variety of
dressings from which one may
choose. Here are some which
are popular in several mid
western areas but which may
well become national favorites.
In these stuffings, ready to eat
cereals add a modern touch and
you'll find the Stuffing less COM

than the old fashioned kinds.
