Exeter Times, 1909-12-16, Page 6• Christmas Dinner On Christn'as day, ut all days, the menu should show discriulina- tion instead of superabundance. The characteristic of ancient cookery was profusion ; of modern, is deli- cacy and refinement. The capacity of human digestion is limited aha is not afforded any special dispen- sations on feast days. Certain traditions must be ob- served in considering our Christ- mas menu. We desire the general- ly accepted guose or turkey and the historic plum pudding. These a .e our foundation stones. The fo in value of these two, with their acs oessories, is high, consequently we center the nourishment on these two courses, adding to them ()theta of esthetic value which will not multiply our dietetic sins suffici- ently to impair health. With this end in view the following menu hue been arranged: Clear Soup Toast Fingers Piokled Peaches Salted Peanuts Green Goose, Roasted Potato Stuffing Garnish of Jellied Apples and Celery Tips Spiced Gravy Steamed Sweet Potatoes Turnips a la Creole Celery--and-Orange Salad Up-to-date Plum Pudding Foaming Sauce Priscilla's Pumpkin Pie Kris Kringle Cakes Black Coffee Have the soup clear and delicate ly flavored, floating a thin slice of lemon. In serving a holiday din- ner, the soup should merely refresh and stimulate the appetite an { net render it indifferent to the coersee that follow. In this menu, the soup may be omitted, as also tin selyd, with an abundance of good cheer remaining. As arranged, the :lin- nor is to be served in courses, but it may be modified to lessen the la- bor of serving. Arrange t.h s des- sert on the sideboard or side table, with the exception of the puduing, which should be served piping hot on heated plates, accompa.lied by the sauce in a separate dish. Cof- fee is preferably served at the close of the meal, but may ace e1 many i+ when desired. Taken clear, it aids digestion, and cream and su- gar should be omitted when such a bountiful dinner is partaken of, brown sugar,unc cut broken. Preserved ginger may be used instead of the jelly. Spiced Gravy—Try this novelty in making gravy, and it will he found appetizing. Buil the giblets in three pints water an hour with a few cloves and allspice, one table- spoon grated lemon peel, one-half onion, chopped, one red pepper and one-half teaspoon salt. When the giblets aro tender, remove them, mince, season with a dash of pep- per and a saltspoon of salt, keep- ing them hot in the gravy boats. To the gravy add one tablespoon butter and two tablespoons hot browned flour, stirring until smooth. Strain and add one-half glass hot water or wino if too thick. Let simmer a few minutes and pour in the gravy boats. Steamed Sweet Potatoes --These are better than boiled. Pare, steam until tender, put a pinch of butter on each and set in the oven to dry and brown a trifle. Turnips a la Creme—('ut peeled turnips into half-inch dice, boil in salted water until tender, drain ; to each quart of turnips add one tablespoon sugar, a little salt, and lastly three tablespoons cream in- to which a beaten egg is stirred. Serve very hot. ('clew and Orange Salad --Crisp SANTA CLAUS ON THE WAY.

The dinner table itself should proclaim the season by its artistic and seasonable decoration. Each hostess may exercise her ingenuity in using the materials at hand whether they be holly and mistletoe, laurel or other greens.
