Everything can be made ahead leaving the hostess with time to enjoy the festivities. That jellied ring is peach halves and cherries set in lime-flavored jelly, and those are cream cheese balls rolled in crushed nuts which are piled in the centre. The individual salads are pretty too, and look like miniature Christmas presents with their cream cheese bows. Punch—your own' favorite recipe or one from last week's Christmas Recipe Box—completes the menu.

Board with lunch With $HIRLEY,J, KELLER Two weeks from today Christmas will be over for another year. Yes, it's true. Christinas is creeping up on us faster than Most of us can imagine Possible. For the children though, Christmas seems eons away. Mom and Dad are bringing mysterious looking parcels into the house and closets and drawers are out-of-bounds for ages yet. They say Christmas is for kids and that may be so, to a point. Children are so delighted by all the exciting happenings at this time of year it just seems that youngsters have the most fun at Christmas. For my money the kids are still missing one of the greatest joys of Christmas—that of giving gifts to other people. We may get tired of buying and wrapping presents but that goes to making the season bright. It truly is more blessed to give than to receive. * * Judging from the number of people who spoke to me about the ingredients for those gumdrop squares which appeared in last week's issue, I'd say there were plenty of families who dined on the chewy goodies sometime during the weekend. A few ladies called to find out if I had forgotten to include the butter or other shortening in the recipe. I have re-checked the recipe as it was given to me and there is no butter mentioned. In fact, I recall when Mrs. Toornstra spoke to me she remarked on the fact there was no butter in the recipe. One lady wanted to know what kind of gumdrops to use — the regular gumdrops or the cooking gums. Opinion seems to be that the regular gumdrops are the tastiest but the cooking gums are satisfactory if that is what you have on hand. * * I've been scratching my head for more ideas about how to make your Christmas entertaining festive and simple — not to mention inexpensive. Sometime ago I came across this recipe for Turkey Stroganoff which I thought some of you good cooks might like to try. If you happen to have a chafing dish in the china cabinet, get it out and shine it up for this concoction. TURKEY STROGANOFF (makes 6 servings) 1/3 cup butter 2 cups diced cooked turkey 1 small onion, finely chopped 1/4 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced 3 tablespoons flour 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon pepper 2 cups water 2 chicken bouillon cubes 1 bay leaf 1/2 pint dairy sour cream Melt butter in frying pan. Add turkey and brown lightly. Add onion and mushrooms and fry gently until tender. Blend in flour, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Stir in water. Add bouillon cubes and bay leaf. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until smoothly thickened. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, 20 minutes. Remove bay leaf. Stir in sour cream. Heat gently. Nice with crusty hot rolls and butter and a tossed salad. * * * Was talking to storekeepers Ron and Shirley Braid in Dashvirood last weekend. I wanted to know the difference between .orange juice (concentrate) and orange juice (reconstituted). Both came in the large 48-ounce tins although the second product mentioned is several cents cheaper than the first. I was told that orange juice (concentrate) is the real thing. It is made from concentrated orange juice and pulp and of course, is much better quality than orange juice (reconstituted) which is made from water and flavorings. By the way, if there is anything you would like to Caven ladies hear director A combined meeting of the Caven Congregational Circle and the Women's Missionary Society was held in the, parlours of the church last Wednesday evening. An installation of officers for both groups was conducted by Mrs. Elizabeth Moore, The business meeting was in the Charge of Mrs, Alvin Moir followed by a devotional period led by Mrs. John Boyne. Mrs, Arthur Whilsinith then introdueed Miss Clare McGowan of the Children's Aid Society in Goderich who presented an interesting and instructive account of her recent trip to the Holy Land. Miss McGowan showed films, souvenirs and native clothing of the, countries she had Visited., Mit. Ray Cann entertained With a vocal Solo. Mrs, Whilsmith and her committee Served refreshments in keeping. With the holiday season, know about the products you find on the shelves of your favorite food markets, why not drop me a note. I'll be happy get in touch with one of the friendly grOcers in the distriet who will try hard to find an answer to your question. It PaYs to be informed. Once more I'm indebted to the kind gals out there who sent me recipes for our Christmas Recipe Box. This week the spotlight is on cookies. Next week; the final issue before Christmas, I'll try to include as many recipes as possible for desserts and salads for your holiday tables. Some of you who sent recipes in may not see them in print. It is not that your recipes were inferior— it is just that we ran out of space and time to print them for Christmas . In a way, that is good. It means that interest is high and that readers out there are co-operating in every sense of the word. By the way, the staff at the T-A can vouch for the Dundee Bars and the gumdrop cookies in this week's recipe box. The lady brought us recipes and samples. A very friendly gesture we thought. Christmas meet at Main St. The Christmas meeting of Main St. UCW was held Thursday afternoon. President Mrs. M. Gardiner presided for the business. Mrs. B. Tuckey conducted the devotions assisted by Mrs. S. Link. Mrs. R. Hopper read a Christmas poem and Mrs. A. Webber, Mrs. C. Hoffman and Mrs. D. Hooper favored with two trios. Mrs. Tuckey told how the Christmas Carol "0 Little Town of Bethleham" came to be written. Rev. Phillipps Brooks wrote it as a Christmas present to the children in his congregation 100 years ago. Several of the Christmas carols were sung. A social time was spent and Santa's three little elves gave out stihsetegi rsf.ts, identifying the mystery • All moved to the Room, resplendent Christmas christm4s decor, where was Served,. •kt ,t14",?ei• Mt Vie Mil .• ..1,ft tv.:40Nyv„m eiv4.04 0Ne,t.ci • -
