Readings of years ago were given by Wes Lewis and Mrs. Alex The Grandmothers’ Glee gave several musical num- which were much enjoyed Hello Homemakers! If we had to order the ingredients for our Christmas cake direct from the soure of supply we would find it rather difficult. While far away countries enjoy our Canadian maple sugar, we select their sweets and spices for festive fare. For the most part, our pineapple comes from Cuba, can­ died cherries from- France, dates from the Iraq, currants and raisins from Australia, citrus peels from United States, spices from India, walnuts from Turkey, cashews from China, from the West Indies, sugar Cuba, while shortening, and flour come from our banner province. Today, our grocer has supplies for the fruit cake we in­ tend to make. The recipe for our favorite cake, the one we made last year, is being published as one of the best we have made.

Customers are telling us it’s the best we’ve ever had. Drop in and look around any time. You’ll agree, too! cake puddings mould Do not ice the cake until a few days before Christmas. We like to bake our Chocolate Fruit Cake in a ring mould and serve it simply—-on a glass plate decorated with holly leaves and cranberries. With the crumbs from a cut fruit cake roll into a ball with a little pudding sauce and place in the centre of a dish of small cakes. The traditional plum pudding is served piping hot with a Brandy sauce, even set aglow as brought to the table, but we think you too may enjoy chilled fruit pudding and ice cream with, a sauce—our folks do. If you forget to make an ice cream sauce, heat a cup of marmalade and pour over ice cream. The holiday -festivities soon creep up. You’ll be wise to make mincemeat pies two weeks in ad­ vance if you have good refrigera­ tion or freezing space. To reheat them, allow 30 minutes in your warming oven or the oven at 250 degrees. Finally, we again refer to the cake which, if frosted, should Jje done with -a hot knife. This is done by frequently dipping in a pitcher of hot water and do like­ wise with your cake knife when you cut servings.

Use an electric or dover egg beater and add this cooked mixture to the creamed butter and sugar, one teaspoon at a time. Continue beating until all the cooked mixture is added. It is wise to make fruit cakes and plum puddings how since the mixture mellows into a more del­ icious flavour when stored in a cool, dry place. When the cake is loosely wrapped in wax paper and placed in a tightly covered tin or crock you can be assured it will not dry out. Then too, if you leave a small orange or apple in the e o n t a I n e r for a week, there will be sufficient moisture supplied but it must be removed before it moulds, else CENTRALIA ■Rev. R.
