""■* s| Household I Hints By MRS. MARY MORTON = One of my friends - remarked the other day that a suet pudding usually was a pretty dull dish.

A larger implement can then be used. The blouse and skirt ensemble has established itself as the favorite choice for dinner wear, and indeed for all oc casions except those that demand the most formal costume. Here’s a nice number that reverses the idea of colorful top and plain skirt. In this instance the top is of black crepe, while the slim skirt, is of knife-pleated gold lace. Something new is the belt and necklace set. The suede belt is heavily'embroidered in gold, turquoise and silver to match the necklace worn with the blouse. With Christmas getting close at hand it is time for turkey talk, A young turkey—-about seven months old, provides the ideal meat. A thin, translucent skin, with bright, cream colored fatty tissues beneath, marks the young bird. One and a quarter to one and a half pounds per person, depending on the family appetite, is the housewife’s best guide in buying a turkey of proper weight. The turkey hen usually weighs from 8 to 10 pounds, serving seven to eight, while the tom turkey usually will weigh from 12 to 20 pounds, serving 8 to 16. To prepare the bird, singe, clean and rub inside with salt, stuff and truss, Rub entire turkey well or butter, Place breast ordinary dripping pan bottom. Do not cover. Roast turkey at moderately slow temperature (325v F.), Do not sear. Keeping the temperature constant throughout the cooking gives the fin ished bird that cooked-evenly look. There will be little or no sputtering and the drippings will be just right for making a nice brown gravy. Al low 25 to 30 minutes a pound. Market weight means picked but not drawn and including head and feet. To determine if turkey is dpne, run a steel skewer or copking fork into the thickest part of the breast and al so into the thigh next to the breast. If the meat is tender and the juice does not look red, the turkey is roast ed enough. Basting is not necessary if the turkey is fat. Otherwise baste every thirty minutes with pan dripp ings or water and butter.

BUT. ► WHAT KIND of 5EAMW Alt> 7 ,D0t$ SHE si ic © i'J $$3 * Si •U** M hgi facg that -not whm’a ftn It It’s dark these nights when we Jin. ish the chores, snowing a little es that spewed a little as they hit the lantern glass , , ... and left big blobs of wet when they melted on a person’s face, It had been a long and hard day, spent for the most part in wrestling with crooked limbs and “top” wood being hauled up to buzz .for next win ter’s wood supply. Stopping to blow out the lantern, I could hear a pair of uneven toddling steps tripping across the kitchen floor. When I stopped to brush the snow from'my boots, „ the sound of "Da Da” seemed to reach out and stab me somewhere in the vicinity of what I have always supposed to be a lieart. ' It was Patricia Ann, toddling out; to the door in that “first step” gait of hers. There she was steadying her self on the chair inside the door and waiting to be picked up, Waiting to slide two hcubby fists around a wea thered neck, unmindful of the melting snow and laughing and wincing at the stubble beard all in the same instant. The supper meal has become almost a ceremony at Lazy Meadows. Quite dutifully Patricia Ann will sit up at the table in her high .ehair and receive the vitamins prescribed by Doctor Jim. Soon she’ll start climbing up and riding on the side-guards of the chair in cowboy fashion and when Mrs. Phil lets her down on the floor.she’ll edge around the hired man and come tugging at my overalls. Generally I don’t pay any attention. “Da . . Da” . . . and the tug grows more impatient and she finally wins by being picked up. She’s a queen in her own rights. We are her humble subjects. No diam onds or crown jewels glitter on her fingers . . . just a chubby fist that has more influence, at least, in our household. “Phil, you’re spoiling that child,” Mrs. Phil frowns down from the other end of the table, but Patricia Ann smiles and proceeds quite undisturbed to accept the occasional offering of food not included in her regular diet. Baby girls are spoiled, I suppose, by their fathers. I seems that fathers generally fall prey to the winsome Last night it was , . big, white flak- ServiceSpecial Train FQR Christmas and New Year’s Consult Your Nearest C, N* R. Ticket Agent For Full Particulars. Buy Tickets in Advance, Avoid Train Delays. <•> WILL THEY COME HOME FOR CHRISTMAS? PROBABLY and perhaps MORE SO if you send them tickets. Enquire about our PREPAID PLAN, charm of a baby girl, They frown and appear stern , , . and say, “Now, don’t you let me catch you doing that again.” But when Mother isn’t look ing, they gently pat the tiny one on the hands and try to appease for the slight harshness of the tone adopted. Mothers have a hard task on their hands as far as 'baby girls are con cerned. If the baby girl grows up to be an upstanding model of femininity . . . the father beams with pleasure and accepts all the lavish praise. If the girl falls by the wayside or grows a little tomboyish, the fathers growl and groan about the present genera tion and say to the mothers, “Well, if you hadn’t babied her like that, she would have turned out better.” From my own meagre experience I would say that fathers are to blame for the spoiling of baby girls. As one man recently put it, “It’s so nice to have them grow into fine young lad ies .. . but it’s' so much nicer to spoil them . , . God bless their wee hearts.” ' THE QUIET HOUR THE TARES AMONG THE WHEAT “Didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? When then hath it tares? Matt. 13: 27. Where do the tares come from and who are the sowers of the unwelcome seed? The tares are found every where. They are found in the Church itself and have been throughout ithe years. From the Church in Corinth, to which Paul wrote down through the Middle Ages,, the Church of the Puritans even to the present day. The faithful heart sometimes looks upon the scene with dismay and turning to the Lord says “Didst not Thou- sow good seed in-Thy field? Whence then hath it tares?” How often the fair field of benific- ence and philanthropy has been defac ed by the ugly'(fares found therein! I * From the purest motive? a. man will make a bequest to have ft spoiled by the tares appearing in the realm o£ administration, An unholy rush,to bet a participant of ithe bequest or the desire to be the one entrusted with ita dispensing. Sometimes lethargy, en ervation, indolence, ease mar this fair field and we wpnder “Whence hath it tares?” What a priceless boon freedom o£ speech is! We in pur land prize it, cherish it and are protecting it with all our might. Yet how often is free dom of speech attended by irrespon sibility, by blasphemy, by gossip and scandal. This fair field is also blight ed with tares. Who has not seen the tares in the fields of literature and,art? There are things that are^sane and wholesome, and there are things that are neurotic. Some books are pure and healthy, and there are books with sensual setting and inclinations. There are books that are vitalizing, and there are books that are decadent and deadly. Good seed was sown in them but when hath they the tares? Nor has. the field of recreation es caped. Healthy, clean, manly sport,, spoilt by the gambling spirit, by jeal ousy, by unfair play, by strife and ill contention. Aye, tares among the wheat. What then? Let us sow the good seed with; prodigal hands. Let us sow it to the right and to the left, sow it every where. Let is beat the devil at' his own game and keep on the job all ithe- time. Let us be busy with unfailing determination knowing that the Lordi of the harvest will separate the wheat from the tares.
