Report to the Housewife

the prices are high. Tangerines
with the upper skins, grapes and
Western pears are generally
plentiful and moderately priced.
incidentally. tangerines make 9
pretty salad simply by cutting the
peel into thin strips with your
kitchen scissors. Start at the
stem end and leave the bottom at
tached. Separate the sections at
the top to form cup in the cen
er of each tangerine. fill this with
raisins.
The best buys on the vegetable
counters include familiar stand
bys such as potatoes, onions, cab
bage, turnips, rutabagas, sweet
potatoes and carrots. There's an
assortment of greens on the "best
buy list, too kale, collards
and mustard. Spinach took an
upward jump and you'll find snap
beans, cucumbers and good to-
matoes all rather high priced.
Here's clever idea for spot
lighting your holiday punch bowl
Arrange string of Christmas
tree lights around the base of the
bowl. Then cover the wires with
holly, evergreens, or green leaves
It's particularly effective if the
contents of the bowl happen to be
red in color. If the bowl is filled
with eggnogg use colored lights
to add glamour. There's no need
to spend hours mixing, beating
and whipping your yuletide batch
of eggnog. You can purchase ex-
cellent eggnog from your dairy
. all you have to do is add the
spike"
And my very best wishes to you
all for a merry, merry Christmas

All the pieces in a parachute
are on bias, and one must deter

before cutting. This may seem to
waste a good deal of the material.
but it is the only satisfactory
way. One economy is to rip all
seams and press before cutting,
but it is hard work. as each seam
is stitched four times.
I use the cord in two ways: I
pull the small threads out for en-
broidery work and use the hollow
rope for braid trim. To L. A. S.,

In the past. many thoughtful

wide sorrow. Now, as never
before. with the whole world in
turmoil, it will be harder.
I believe these verses will be
of help to many folks. I hope
this will help put a deeper mean

phrase.
Il question If Christmas can ever be

But we may be happy, II only we carry
The Spirit of Christmas deep down IL

Therefore is the Spirit. thus blending

And knowing naueht else but the angel.
