mild winter," Mr. Alien ex-
plained. "If it had black spots,.
you could look for stormy Wea-
ther, The location of the spots
told you when the storms would
come. If they were at the
frent, 'thee the rough weather
would come early."
He examined a caterpillar

diction always eanie true, Mr.
Allen smiled, "I really don't

By SUZANNE LANCASTER
The ring of the doorbell, and
the muffled tread of feet on the
porch is a happy sound, for
Christmas is the time when we
especially welcome friends and
relatives, And what better way
to express hospitality than in
the decorations for your front
door,
The front entrance of your
home is the focal point of at-
tention and should be the first
art to be decorated in any
p
progressive plan to decorate,
by stages, the exterior of your
home.
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. There are many new and
interesting ways to use wreaths
of various materials but one of
the most attractive is still the
simple wreath of evergreen
boughs with a bright Christmas
red ribbon, hung on the 'center -

evergreen bought under the
cornice of the porch roof, and
entwine them with • strings of

Miss Audrey Finkbeiner, mis-
sionary on her second furlough
from St, Lucia Island and for-
merly of Crediton, was guest
speaker at the meeting of the
WMS Afternoon Auxiliary of
James Street United Church
Thursday afternoon.
She said the population of the
Island, one of the West Indies
group, is 91,000 and most of
them are colored and of Afri-
can descent; eighty percent are
Roman Catholics and the drink-
ing problem is the greatest hin-
drance to mission work.
She found that the cost of
living had doubled in the past
four years and the St. Lucians
fish, raise bananas and some
sugar cane for a living. Edu•
cation is at a low level she said
and children of nine and .10
instals officers years of age can scarcely read.
Miss Finkbeiner was thanked
by Mrs. Lloyd Taylor.
Mrs. C. E. Zurbrigg con-
ducted a memorial tribute to
the late .Mrs. Clarence Martin,
Mrs. T. C. Coates and Mrs,

By MRS, J.M.S.
,Leelcing hack into history we
find many yuletide customs and
traditions built around food.
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.
