WOMAN'S WORLD
Simple Holiday Decorations
May Still Reflect Yule Spirit
&y G,Aa Haley

|CHRISTMAS and New Years may
~ be the most important holidays
of the year, and the former is eS-
pecially hard on the purse, but
decorations can be simple and in
expensive and still reflect all of the
holiday spirit.
In many homes, this is the time
for nativity figures to come out OF
their white tissue paper wrappings
to be set on the sideboard or table.
If you have the figures, you're all
set with the centerpiece.
Another traditional decoration for
many a holiday table is the frosted
gingerbread house set on blanket
of white cotton Around this are
placed Christmas figures to carry
out the story of Christmas.
II you're looking for something
that can be made out of a scrap
of cardboard or two, few sprays
of holly, a candle and length OF
ribbon, have lots of ideas for you.
A simple but effective decoration
for the table consists Of yard and
three-quarters of six inch red satin
ribbon, fat white candle and some
holly. Lay the ribbon down the
center of the table with the candle
in the middle, around which is
placed holly or other greenery.
Make three loops on each side OF
Arizona sun., 1948-12-17

the candle out of the ribbon, and
place holly or green's inside the
loops.
Do you have a misty blue glass
or mirror for the table?
Get three large, bright red ap-
Piles and shine them until they
gleam. Scoop out the centers and
place in them tall white candles.
Sprinkle artificial glitter or snow on
the apples. Place the apples on the
glass and band them with grapes
and few small cones. Don't hide
the apples completely when you put
the grapes around because you want
the red to show.
White wire baskets, such as those
in which beverage glasses are
sometimes sold, may also be the
base for fruit centerpiece. Run
some bright red or green satin
ribbon through the wires around
the side and tie in a huge bow at
the front. Into this can be placed
apples, pears, bananas, grapes,
nuts and even cookies or candies
wrapped in gold or silver foil. You

News of a Gift

IT IS good news also when we hear
L of a legacy or gift Of some sort.
especially when it is something we
could not have expected. And the
story of Christmas is the news about
God personally entering the life
of man. It is God giving us him
self. True, the world is full Of the
gifts Of God.<
In the Child of Bethlehem, In
the Man he was to become, In
the work he was to do, there
was . new thing-the self-giv-
ing Of God. That IL one reason
why Christmas means infinitely
more to q Christian than to any
one else.
For the nonsC Christian. the story
Of Christmas, for all its charm. Is
only another story Of a child born
to poverty, doomed to pain-an-
other chapter in the long agony Of
man. For the Christian, the story
of Christmas is the Good News Of
how God gives himself, for our
sake.
Arizona sun., 1948-12-17
From a Far Country

IT is good news when from a far
country. until now dark and un-
known, we learn that it is land Of
friends who send us welcome across
the miles. So the meaning of Christ
mas is good news from a far land,
the land beyond what we call death.
"Our Saviour Jesus Christ hath
abolished death, and brought life
and Immortality to light through
the Gospel 0I Tim. 1:10).
AS on the first Christmas, so
ever since, the Gospel of God
is not alone the good news of q
God who loves and fOrgives and
who brings US the victory, it is
the news of God who stands at
the end of our dark journey to
welcome his children home.
Good news! The world has none
to equal the news Of Christmas.

means. We do not
call it Good Reso-
lutionS" or Good
Ideas" or even
Good Ideals" Just
Good News. But
what is good about
it? It is a fair ques-
ton to ask at Christ
mas time, for the
story that Christ
mas brings is the
beginning of the
Gospel.

News of Peace
nNE of the best kinds OF news
~ there is is to learn that someone
we thought was an enemy, is actu-
ally a friend. The end of misunder-
standing, of estrangement-what a
rush of warmth to the heart it
brings!
That is the news of the first Christ
mas-that God is our friend. Christ
did not come to assure men that
there is a God. That was well
known, indeed few doubted it. He
did not even come to announce that
there is but one God. for that was
already known to the wiser sort OF
men. Neither did his coming un-
veil the God of justice. The Greeks
and Romans, as well as the Jews,
knew such a God only too well.
No wonder Roman poet, looking
about on the religions of his time,
concluded that fear is the great
god-maker. His notion was a mis-
take; but it was a natural one.
For. all the religions of the ancient
world, even the religion of the
Jew, were attempts to ward off
the anger. of offended gods.
The coming of Christ was to
put an end to all that. This was
more than a friendly gesture,
it was an act of love. Those who
have discovered God in Christ
have found that God is not only
our Maker but our heavenly
Father and Friend. There is no
better news!

AS a follow-up to our information
on outdoor cookery that we had
last week, let's do little brushing
up on good barbecue sauces, so that
weu be ready for the first big out
door feast.
incidentally, the barbecue is no
modern invention. Texas has no
monopoly on it, either. The word
itself is derived from the Spanish
"barbacoa" from "berbekot,' the
name applied by the Carib Indians
in the West Indies and Latin Amer
icas to the framework or grill on
which they broiled fish or meat.
| 1t is believed that the English in
Guiana began using the term as
far back as 1865. Around 1700,
outdoor broiling on a grill made its
appearance in this country and the
name followed it, denoting the grid
on which small pieces of meat were
cooked. But, as we usually do in the
United States, we made it bigger
and better and finally barbecue
came to mean the outdoor roasting
of whole animals and game. Now
except for the great open spaces, ii
reverts once more to the small back
yard pit or grill.
A favorite barbecue sauce Of mine

Until now onions were being shipped
here from the Argentine and we
have been paying rather a stiff,
price for this common vegetable
While prices are still little above
normal for the first Of the new crop
they are a better size and the quail
ity has improved.
Homegrown rhubarb has taken
the place of the hot house variety
with prices within the reach of every
one. Remember when your grand
mother used to call it pie plant
and considered it a fine spring tonic
for the whole family? Its tart
flavor makes it specially good in
pies, cobblers, and puddings, and
try baking it for sauce.
All greens are good buy this
week, and that includes kale
spinach. turnip, mustard, lettuce and
very nice fresh, green watercress
Asparagus is getting to be more
plentiful but the price continues
to stay up. When you choose as
paragus, look for fresh, tender
firm stalks with close compact tips
A tender stalk is brittle and will
break easily; If the tip has spread
it is often an indication that the
vegetable has been cut long time
We have been eating Cuban and
Mexican tomatoes all winter so we
are glad to see the first of the
Florida crop come in; they are
nice and firm and the flavor much
better. Honeydew melons from
Chile and the large blue grapes
from Africa are available in out-of-
season fruits, while you will still
find sufficient apples. citrus fruits
and bananas for ordinary purposes
Frying chickens will be your best
bet in meat for Sunday dinner
Red meats are going higher and
higher in price and there Is

Poppy seed Is the only spice which

toppings for bread, rolls, plain
cookies and cakes, they also are used
to make poppy jam for fancy cakes

mixing the seeds with strained
honey or a heavy sirup. These
seeds also yield a bland oil useful
for cooking and as dressings for
salads. Recent studies by lead
ing university show that foods made
from mixes are usually less costly
than others. No waste, you see;
just the right amount of mix in
each package. Worth remembering
