By the time this column reaches

probably be finished, unless you
are one of those last-minute
people like Gram.
At the December meeting of the
Hospital Auxiliary, Miss Claypole
and the nursing staff were hos
tesses for the social hour. They
served a most attractive salad
plate. On crisp lettuce, a mound
of chicken salad was garnished
with carrot sticks, stuffed celery
and a bright radish. On one side
was a. jello salad in a delicate
green color.
Several of those who enjoyed
the lunch have asked if we could
publish the salad recipe for it
seemed so appropriate for Christ
mas. Miss Claypole lias given it to
us so you’ll have it in time to
use for Christmas entertaining.
JELLO SALAD
(Miss Alice Claypole)
Make up two lime jello pow
ders in the usual way. Add the
juice of one orange. When jello
is partially set, fold in i pint of
cream, whipped. Fold in small
can of fruit cocktail, drained.
Mold in a square pan and cut into
small squares to serve. Top with
a red or green cherry for a touch
of Christmas color.

To get the best results from
your Christmas baking, fix up a
box of cookies and other treats,
wrap it all up pretty and carry it
to the home of a shut-in who has
not been able to keep up with the
rush of Christmas.
And if it’s too late to send a
Christmas card to those you know
who are ill at home or in hospital,
send a New Year’s card. Light a
little candle in the life of a shut-
in and its glow will warm'" them
and you, too.
Merry Christmas to all!
