Use simple wreaf,is The traditional Christmas wreath hung on the front door will always be in style, for it is one of the most widely used symbols of Christmas hospital- ity.

You can choose lamps in clear glass, or in blue, green, red, yellow or pink, depending on the effect you wish to cre- ate. A more elaborate type of decoration might be created if you have a covered porch. In this case it is easy to place evergreen bought under the cornice of the porch roof, and entwine them with • strings of outdoor lights, to give a bright, gay appearance. And if you are lucky enough to have two evergreen trees flanking the porch steps, or your front door, they an conceal two flood- lights, one on either side, that throw their beams upward to bathe the entire entrance area in an interesting pattern of light and shadow.

The Fruit Cake and the Plum Pudding --now often referred to as Christmas cake or pudding—. are as. much a part of Christ- mas as the :carol singing and the tree. Many other countries and na^ tionalities include Christmas cake as part of their festive food, An old Danish legend states that the visitor who calls at Christmas and eats nothing will carry the Christmas spirit away with him, To have a happy year, one must eat a nieee of cake in 12 different homes between Christmas and the New Year. To Cut Fruit Cake For easiest slicing fruit cake should be refrigerated until it is quite cold, Use a sharp, straight,- edged, thin- bladed knife—never a saw edge, Dip the knife into hot water before each cut and slice with a slow sawing motion, Do not try to cut the cake too thinly especially if it contains a lot of fruit. A •light touch when slicing will produce crumble - free slices, At a' bazaar at St. James Church, Clandeboye, recently Christmas cakes were a pop- ular item and were quickly sold. Mrs, Emily Tomes, who made them, has given us the recipe to pass on to you.
