wanted to be sure of some post
Christmas business! The royal
dustman is said to have come up
with two bolts of cambric-prob-
ably very fancy fabric in those
days.
In Brazil and Argentina, of
course, Christmas is celebrated in
summer. Therefore. many Christ
mas dinners take place in the
garden or patio. Miracle plays are
popular-perhaps have the same
traditional value as England's IA
nous pantomimes. In Brazil,
especially, many old customs have
held over from the Portuguese
and other European influences
and one even finds Papa Noel"
there. complete with reindeer
Christmas tree, stockings and so
on, despite the warmth of the
season. The chimney had to be
discarded, however, as practically
mo homes are equipped with such
things.
The Scandinavian countries. of
course, are great for Christmas
doings. They have their own ver-
sion of Santa Claus with a sack
full Of toys. The feasting is terrific.
In Finland. the bath takes its
place in the ritual.
In France there is much ado on

let's dwell a minute on the Christ
mas customs in foreign lands-in
the good old days, that is. Heaven
only knows what traditions are
kept up today!
In the past, the custom Of giving
in England stemmed from the
reign of Henry VII, when Christ
mas boxes and New Years pres
entS were common enactment Of
royalty from their subjects. There
was a graduated scale Of giving
based on the rank and adjudged
affluence of the donors. Queen
Elizabeth relied upon Christmas
lgifts to replenish her wardrobe

Christmas eve! It smells good,
it feels good. it is good. That GER
tain lifting of the spirit, softening
of old bitterneSSes and stirring of
the heart are apparent on this eve
as at no other time.
This Is the time when hope
touches most people. You can see
the difference in expression on
usually tired faces on subways, in
crowded busses and on jammed
streets. Even the jostling and crowd
ing is generally good natured.
There is that feeling of hail.
IfelloW-well-met which pervades the
air. I wish Christmas eve could
last all year, and yet were this true
it would not be so wonderful. We
cannot live on constant conviviality,
a diet of lollipops or always in the
bright sunshine Life isn't like that.
The fragrance of pine and cedar
and balsam, gay decorations, bells
ringing and good will and packages
and ribbons and sparkling paper,

humans react TO CQOSe.
While we cannot always live on
the mountain peaks Of experience,
we would be happier If we could
take bit of that exhilaration
over into everyday living. A little
more time and thought spent on
those we love, a bit gayer spirit, a
feeling Of friendship for the world,
would all enrich life. think women
should use more color in their
clothes and interior decoration.
Black-black- black may be smart
but it doesn't do anything for your
skin or your spirit. Many homes
are drab in color when it can be
stimulating or soothing. Walls that
look like the sea, changing with the
lights, zippy red used with discre-
ton to pep one up, lovely old colds
and yellows and soft green's, can
do things to one.
This is a well-known fact in
mental therapy and illness of all
kinds. Why not apply this principle

and
| Environment
By Angelo Potri

When the question is asked as
to which is more influential on
the character of a child, heredity
or environment, my answer must
be that there is no such problem.
The influences of heredity and en-
vironment cannot be separated.
The budding life is nourished in
its environment. or it dies alto
gether. Both elements must be
counted in on any such question,
and the better quality there is in
each, the better for the child.
Qualities, whether of gifts or
handicaps, are passed down
through the generations, appear
ing again and again. sometimes
diluted. sometimes accented form
ing new patterns on old lines.
Children are born with an inher-
itance from their ancestors.
This is not to say that their
pattern of life is fixed at birth.
That pattern can be unfolded,
strengthened for good, under the
influence of environment. En-
vironment is a word that covers a
tremendous field. People, things
laws, politics. religion. customs. all
that concerns the life of a people
compoSSeS environment. The pres
sure of life, another word for en-
vironment, is tremendous and it
changes the set of a child's in
heritance for better or worse.
1t is true we can add nothing
to what a child brings to life at
his birth but we can modify it so
that the child is created again in
the pattern we set by setting his
environment according to our
ideal. We can teach a child what
we believe to be good and he is
more than likely to accept it for
his way in life. especially if we
begin setting his environment as
soon as he enters it. The early
years are most important in this
process.
The child of wealthy family
has a better opportunity to pro-
fit by his environment than has
the child of poverty. and the one
of the middle group has the best
of all. Those in the rich environ
ment do not have to earn their
growth by effort. those who are
too poor cannot get very far be-
cause the struggle for bread is
too severe, taking up all the
energy and all the time, while
the child Of the middle group
must work, stretch himself to win
his goal and has the energy and
the time and the opportunity at
his disposal. The law of growth
DEGREES that the faculty that is
not used dies. Use creates pos
sessions and power. Disuse the

sirable elements in children's lives.

Modern
Marriage
Let Children Know
What Factors Make
Your Home Happy
By Dr.. Paul Popenoe

If you love your wife, tell her
so, Mr. B. But tell the children,
too, and tell them why.
That's one of the best ways to
tget your children started toward
successful marriages. You say
you want them to have the kind
of happiness in marriage that you
yourself have found. They have
a good start by growing up in a
happy home. But they'll have an
even better start If you and your
wife take pains to explain to them,
as you go along, just exactly why
it is a happy home; just what it is
that makes your home happy when
so many others are unhappy.
There's no better education for
marriage.
Many youngsters in happy
homes don't get the full benefit
because their parents have a feel
ing that the details of their hap
Ipiness are too sacred to discuss.
Some have been brought up to
think that it is a violation Of
good taste to air openly their
deep and sacred" sentiments, to
l"bare their hearts" even to their
own offspring.
It's time to give up some Of this
excessive reticence.
It Is sometimes claimed that
children actually may be handi-
capped for future marriage by
growing up in a home where they
see nothing but happiness. Par-
enthetically, it would be hard to
find such a homeD The children
may take it for granted, it is al
legged. that happiness is normal
(I'll say it isD and exists without
effort. They will only be disillu-
stoned.
I don't think there is much sub
stance in this claim. I have an
idea it is made principally by per-
sons who have failed in their own
marriages. But we can prevent
such a difficulty by explaining it
to our offspring as we go along.
If your wife does something un-
usual, Mr.. B.. point out to the
children at the dinner table. "One
of the finest things about your
mother is such-and-such. It's one
of the things that does most for
marriage" Don't take her good
points for granted; say a good
word for her and say it in the
presence of the children. Then go
on to explain just why you are
justified in saying the good word.
Children need to be able to
identify the qualities that make
up good marriage. I have a
self rating scale to measure sue
cessful marriage. A copy of it
will be sent free to any one who
writes me for it in care of
The Evening Star (please inclose a
stamped, self f-addressed envelope. =.
You could use this to help the
children measure the success OF
their parents marriage and to
recognize the factors that make it
a success. But your own explana-
ton from time to time. in some
detail, will be invaluable to them.
And incidentally, if you are the
right kind of husband, your wife
can properly explain that to the
children. tool

My husband loves duck. I made

which works beautifully for me
Two people need at least
6-pound duck as there Is really
little left to it after the fat is
gone. I rub the inside with salt
and stuff it with quartered onions
and apples. You can make a reg

most common, I think, but pre-
fer the apples and onions. Rub
outside with salt, pepper, paprika
and garlic and put the bird (your
cook book will explain trussing)
breast up in a very hot oven (500
degrees, or at least 450). I use
a shallow roasting pan "a cookie
pan with sides about 2 inches)
and put a cake rack on it. Leave
the duck until almost all fat Is
cooked out. Il prick the duck in
the thigh and can usually judge
when the fat is about gomez
Then turn the oven down to 325
degrees and let the duck roast
This should take about an hour
The length of time at 500 de-
grees depends upon how fat the
duck is, but "a hour is usually long
enough. just test every so often
after 20 minutes or SO. If skin
isn't crisp at the end, I turn the
heat back high for few mo-
ments and this should crisp 1t. ]

stuffing or vegetable Stuffing of
celery, onions and sauerkraut.
Truss the duck and wrap in foil.
Roast it in a slow oven 1925 de-

pound. If the duck is very fat,
prick the breast to let some of the
fat run out.
About IS minutes before the
cooking time is over open the foil
and expose the duck for browning
Using the drippings and cup
hot orange juice baste it every 10
minutes. Of there seems to be
too much fat in the foil dip out
some before adding orange juice)
Gravy may be made by thickening
with flour. Garnish duck with
fruit halves or orange sections and
parsley.
Danish apple stuffing: Combine
2 cups chopped apples. 4 cups fine
soft bread crumbs. V cup seed
less raisins, and then 2 table
spoons soft butter. 1s cup sugar,
l tablespoon lemon juice, tea
spoon grated lemon peel. "a tea

bakes). Stuffing is for to s.

Vegetable stuffing: Chopped cell
cry, onions and drained sauerkraut
with 2 tablespoons sugar added
and u cup mashed potatoes sea-
soned with salt and pepper makes
