Answers to Queries

Mrs. A. N. A., Washington
Someone has asked about
citron for preserves. Water
melon rind is a good substi-
tute. You do not need to re-
move all of the red part, but
trim of all the green rind. Cut
in small pieces, add water to
barely cover, cook until ten
der In a pressure cooker S to
10 minutes under pressure is
enough. Drain and save water.
With an empty tin can, or
chopping knife. chop the
cooked rind very fine. Add an
equal amount of sugar and
the water you saved. For ia
vor add stick cinnamon, about
/ or 2 sticks to each cup Of
pulp. Cook slowly till thick
and sirupy. stirring often. This
is a delicious preserve on
COdSJ OF WaIHeS.
Leave some Of the rind in
small pieces, add sugar in
equal amounts and a little
red color and almond flavor,
or instead of that use q
cherry favored liquid or pow
der for drinks. Cook till thick
and use it cut UP in fruit
salads.
For some one asking how
to use bacon grease for bak-
tng-you can use it as short
ening in any recipe which
calls for molasses, spices, or
chocolate. 1t makes good
apple sauce cake or cookies
and good DEVILS food.
To Miss M. L., Arlington. To
mend a hole from a cigarette
burn in couch cover, some
where on the back or an in
conspicuous corner, cut out
a small patch and place it
under hole. Then carefully
darn it into place with match
ing thread.

Cuba?

Mrs. E. NJ. c.. Cheuerly
Since we are spending our
vanA tion in Florida this fall,
we are interested in getting
some information on Cuba.
Have any of the readers taken
the cruise by air, if so. what
are the advantages of taking
the arranged cruise. Would we
do better by flying over and
picking our own hotel? We feel
we would prefer to do this and
then do our own sightseeing.
If so. we would like some in
formation on reasonable priced
hotels in Havana and whether
we would need q guide for
sightseeing and shopping. Any
other information concerning
the trip would be appreciated.
Also, how far ahead would we
have to make plane reserva-
tons? We are going in six
weeks.

WILLIAMSBURG, Va.

VhAAANaonON0s VA.
Old Christmas is in full swing today in
Williamsburg, that restored l8th-century town
in southeastern Virginia. The celebration is
virtually as 200 years ago when the Virginia
planters and coloniSts were setting the pattern
for new nation.
Then Christmas wasn't day, it was whirl
of festivities starting December Is and con-
tinuing through until Twelfth Night Schools
and colleges were dismissed, slaves were excused
from most of their labors they were given new
clothing. Public and private business was set
aside for a tremendous round of visiting. Great
dinners were planned. Open house to every
one, eggnog served! There were balls and
diversions" and much revelry in the inns.
Kitchens hummed for weeks in advance pre-
pairing the fruit cakes, the plum puddings, pies
galore and innumerable sweet meats.
Hunt for the Yule Loo
Today in Williamsburg old Christmas lives
again. Churches shine with candlelight, doors
of the fine houses are decked with swags of
green, frightened with fruits. Wax tapers in
windows are lighted at dusk. Hundreds OF
visitors come to the town from every state in
the Union and warmly welcomed, made to feel
poit vi uO SOttniIuiHAy iSSuVillSS.
Celebration starts a week before the holiday:
pageants, Christmas musicales, dinner dances,
teas. candlelight procession. There is nightly
caroling in the streets. December n the big
event is the hunt for the yule log which the
finder rides to the fireside, all others helping
with the rope. The firing Of the Christmas guns,
that's December q. Between days end and the
dark on Christmas Eve the yule log ceremonies
are staged, one at the Williamsburg Lodge, one
in the courtyard Of Chowning's Tavern.
Last year | attended this picturesque cere-
mony, allegorical in meaning. A sprig Of green
is passed to each guest, symbolizing the woes of
the year gone. AS the yule log passes, festively
decorated, touch the sprig to the log to ward
off the evil spirits for the year to come. During
the blessing of the log, wine is poured on to
protect the house from "ghosties and ghoulies
At the blessing end, guests throw the sprigs to
the fire meaning the end of old troubles.
Immediately after this we hurried to the
market square for the lighting of the giant
