Another Christmas—the fifth since the start of the war — comes to re-kindle still-glowing embers of peace and goodwill, and to herald another visit from that stout, rollicking old fellow who, in some mysterious • way, can squeeze down the narrow­ est of chimneys-with a bulging sack of gifts. This year, as the story of Beth­ lehem is again unfolded in carol and word, there will be a quickening of that sense of kinship among all freedom-loving people and a real­ ization that there can be promise with forces of and aggression. At this crucial stage in tory of nations, Christmas comes as a challenge to homemakers every­ where — a challenge to face the problems of daily life with unwav­ ering courage and to exemplify the finest qualities of heart and mind in meeting their responsibilities as the mothers and wives of men. In the homes of to-day, women are helping mould the characters of the men and women who will shape the destiny of the woria. 'strength­ en in your small home circle a love that can reach out in ever-widen­ ing circles. Soon, we hope, it will be manifest in that new era to­ wards which the eyes of this un­ happy wdrld are straining so eager­ ly. ♦ ♦ ♦ RECIPES Steamed Whole Chicken, or Fowl 1 fowl (4 to 6 pounds), flour, salt and pepper.
