* Christmas here agaio !' That is what we are all exclaiming, Aa we grow older Christmas takes us by sur prise. How tired we used to bn of waiting for it j the time between Christmas and Christmas was of such fabulous length, we forgot to ask how many months it would be until next. Now it flies past and the season fihde m unready I At least, I am not ready s Aunt Tib usually takes me in band about this time.- I listen atten tively to all she says and mean to do as I'm told, but I em afraid I do not get up early enough to accomplish otic half of my duties. I heard the dear old thing telling some children fa'ry Btoriesj she said Ohristm.s was a great time for tbe wee folk to fly about on their kind errands, bo": unless they were led by a tall one called Risearly the others could do but few of their wonderful transformation tricks. She is a wise old dear and practises what she preaches. She is up beforo seven, I can tell you. She has been keeping me busy making Christmas pies and puddings and cakes, small puddings and large cakeei She says it is generally too hot to relish genuine Christmas pudd»ng in tho height of our summer to relish plum pudding, but we must have one just for ' old sakes sake ;' fruit salad and custards and trifles ar. far more seasonable, so she has given me some useful recipes not too extravagant for a cottage home. Then, of course, we must have roast beef, but how much nicer to have it cold than hot, and how much p'easan ter for the cook, especial when the ccok is ' mother' too, Her plan is to have the beef (or poultry, or both)— carefully cooked tbe day before, the gravy made, and served (after removing all fat) cold with meat or fowls; this makes a delicious sauce, and can be supple mented by tomato sauce, if that is ' to taste.' Have an especially good salad and new potatoes, and see if the head of the house does not say, such a dinner is ten times better than the hot, greasy, steamy viands considered indispen sable on Ohrisrmas Day, no matter what tbe thermometer indicates. Recipe for Fruit Salad—Take any varieties of fruit you please, pine apple for one ingredient is admirable, and usually be procured at this time of year, Tell up, say we have some rasp berries, currants—be whit© and red— an orange, two banana", a small p'ne apple (size of salad must depend upon number to be at table), take a freshly washed glass dish deep enough to hold tbe juice of the fruit, begin with a layer of pine apple, and dispose the rest of the fruit in any manner you please, sprinkling a little sugar as you go; conclude by shaking a good hand ful of dessicated cocoanut or pounded sweet almond (blanched of course) over the mixture, cover op and set in a cool place until wanted ; prepare about three hours bf fore it is requited. Simple Trill-—Got from your biker say 6 stale sponge cskee, cut these into neat pieces and lay them into a deep, glass dish, spread any j«ra you fancy between them j or preserved ginger or Sgs or dates j or fresh fruit if yoa prefer it, squeeze tbe juico from 2 ripe lrmons and 1 ripe orange, pour this over the cake, l.»>ve it to steep all night covered up close, (or for 4 or 5 hours at least) next morning pour over it nicely made boiled i custard, If you find it very wearisome | to stand stirring your custard to keep it from burning you ui*y beat up 2 eggs with SI cops of milk and a littlo sug*r < put it into the bottom of your oven, watch it, and as soon »s it is set, take it j oat, when cold pour it ovor your cakes, j have ready half a cup of whipped cream ! (flavored with any essence you like) dispose this over all garnish \with any briliiant fruit as chcrrbs or red currants. Stick into pyramid a few ratifi* finger bitcuit, a little of this will bo fur nicer than plum pudding, and far mora di gestible for tho children. Then crjgtalig,) fruit can be made very easily and makes a charmiog dish for an occasion, Make a strong syrup,-dip firm, ripo lnj.it, one by one, into line, while it is w«rm, place the fruit on a flit dish, place it in a warm place until the sugar gets upon the fruit, Pile high on a glass dish when served, Aunt Tib recommends all housekeepers to try a scold cola.ion' Christmas. Set out your table as for a wedding breakfast, it has a most charming efhet and presents the advantage of per mitting the cook to go to church as well as tho family. In order to a f Happy Christmas, Begin tbe day well by paying grateful thanks to our Maker for all the bounties we enjoy, continue . it well by making as many people happy upon it, as possible, our good things are given to be shared. Let some person or persons say, " This is the best Christmas 1 ever had because • M,' (or what ever your initial may be ) made it so by unexpected kindness and courtesy, If you are a eon or daughter, remember, with some pretty token of affection, ycur old father and mother, you will nit have them for long and you may have been neglecting them lately. Husbands bring homo •something nice' for your wife and' daughters. Wives and daughters and sisters spend sometime and thought upon making some bright surprise for your husbands, fathers and brothers, as the case may be. Brothers think of ■your own sisters, as well as of gome other fellows. Do try to make this coming Christmas the brightest and best you have had, and it cannot be that unless you make it bright for gome One else.
