And $o as he lay there he was listening for every little sound. No’sound was too faint to be heeded. For a long tlme nothing happened. Then back of him, far‘back of him in the Green Forest, he heard a faint roar. Instantly Lightfoot was on his feet, facing in that direetion. He Jnew that that roar was made by the stout wings of Mrs. Grouse. He had Jieard it many, many times. He also knew that she flew In just that way only when she had, been startled. Some one had frightened her. It might have been Reddy Fox or Old Man Coyote. But it might have been & hunter. So Lightfoot was suspicious. He pointéd his ears in that direc- tlon and listened and listened, For 2 few moments he heard no other gound. Then he heard a faint thump. #That was the danger signal of Jump- er the Hare” thought Lightfoot. *Whoever frightened Mrs. Grouse has now frightened Jumper. Whoever frightened them Is now coming this way, for Jumper was nearer than was Mrs. Grouse He remained motionless save that those big ears moved now -and then to better catch the. faint sounds of the early morring. His big, soft eyes watched for any little movement. Presently Sammy Jay began to scream ©over on the opposite hillside. Light- foot's ears twitched and his_eéyes geemed to grow a little bigger, When though- ft | hidden in a | it he! ter- | day | always lay | coming, | ally at such times. It is a most plc- turesque dish decked with attractive garnishings. sometimes with a fire blazing about it on the platter. Even today it is spectacular and denotes a high festival, just as it did in the olden times. “Sides of Beef.” “The side of beef” as a Christmas meat is apt to be overlooked today. But it was one of the earliest dishes served in old England whenever this greatest of all holidays came. The housewife, therefore, who served roast beef for Christmas dinner, is historically correct. It is probably because we have become accustomed to having such roast frequently that it takes away its holiday aspect. Let me suggest, therefore, if a home- maker expects to serve a “side of beef,” to put It in its true Christmas phras that she has not a roast of beef, steak or even hamburg steak for several days before Christmas. The {nfrequency of a dish adds to its appreciation. Between ourselves, a roast of beef is the easiest of all the Christmas meats to prepare, cook and serve. 1t should be popular with housewives! Queen Favored Goose. Goose comes next in the catalogue of Christmas meats. While it was sometimes served as early as 1577, in England, it was no less a person than Queen Elizabeth herself who set the seal of fashion on the serving of the goose for Christmas. It would be well for us to follow her lead, since using | turkey for both Thanksgiving and Christmas gives a similarity to the dinners on these two days which often come within a month of each other. | Moreover. the market being divided between the two birds should tend to lower the price of each. Turkey a' Favorite. There appears to be no special rea- | son why turkey should be served on Christmas, except the fondness of | Americans for this bird. However, { this very thing has created a place | for the turkey in our Christmas menus. Many thousands of families | will relish it this year as in the past. | With the Meats, The accompaniment of goose is ap- | ple sauce, and the dressing should be | | of onfon and mashed potato. The tur- | key calls for cranberry sauce, and it | may have any one of several different kinds of stuffing, such as seasoned | bread crumbs mixed with butter or fine pieces of the fat of the turkey, oysters with the crumbs and the | poultry seasoning omitted, chestnut, known also “marron” dressing, | with salt, pepper, butter, etc. Roast | beef may have any of several different kinds of rellshes with it. To givel distinction to the Christmas dinner! of roast beef serve Yorkshire pud-| ding with it. This will add a note of distinction. Poinsettin Salad. There are so many decorative | Christmas salads that this course | should not be omitted from the din- ner. Serve small portion only. A steet salad is best. Poinsettia salad, made by cutting petal-shaped pieces from rosy apples and arranging them round a spoonful of green-tinted may- onnaise, is as dainty as can be. For | the salad green. lettuce, water cress or young dandelion leaves are good. The llghted Christmas candle salad s orative, but it is rather dinner.” Tt is more ap- | propriate for supper.

Blend together very ‘thoroughly two cupfuls of cooked rice or cereal, one cupful of cottage cheese, one cup- ful of dry bread crymbs, three pi- mentos chopped fine, 'and one-eighth teaspoonfuls of salt, one-fourth tea- spoonful of baking soda, one-fourth teaspoonful of pepper, and liquid it necessary, although the mixture must be very stiff. Form into a roll and bake for about 25 minutes, basting from time to time with savory fat or meat drippings if necessary. Quick Cookies. Take a clean dish towel and lay it on vour baking board and flour it. You can roll cookies out and never |have any trouble with their sticking {to the cloth. You can roll them out half the time by this method. You can bake cookies on a griddle instead of in the oven. Do not have the griddle too hot, only lightly greased, {and turn the cookies with a cake turner when one side is brown. 3 Minute Test Proves Your Skin Naturally White No matter how sallow or muddy your complexion may now be, it is naturally clear and white.

The planetary aspects of today are fair, although they do not counsel an attempt to launch any new, impor- tant undertaking. They do, however, favor careful attention to customary duties along well tried lines. They also indicate that it is a splendid op- portunity for reviewing, and, if nec- essary, revising plans for some fu- ture operation. The vibrations will stimulate clearness of vislon, and help to solve problems that have proven difficult of solu- tlon, There will be germinated a spirit of amiability and peace and this will have a tendency to induce the putting into the discard of many [ fancied wrongs and grievances. A child born today will be robust and healthy. Not for this, however, must its careful nutrition be neglect- ed or watchfulness relaxed. It will be imaginative and Impulsfve and somewhat of a dreamer. It will for- mulate many plans, which will never be carried out, and it will bulld many | air castles. It will need to cultivate self-reliance, perseverance and fore- sight. It will be lovable, sweet-tem- pered, attractive, a general favorite and much sought after. If today is your birthday, you have a spiritual and an_idealistic nature, an active mind and much tact. You are honest, straightforward and frank, true and faithful to those you lovefi and capable, also, of bitter en- mity. You are fond of art and mu- sic, like to be amused and entertain- ed, and enjoy soclety. Your home life is both happy and harmonious. Your good points easily outweigh the bad ones, and your greatest dif- ficulty Is experienced in your effort to throw off the hostility you feel toward those who have in some way or another displeased you. Hard feelings never smoothed out difficul- t and you only pander to your weakness when you plan and work | for revenge. While an injury, elther moral or physical, calls for and ds mands redress, nothing is galned, but, on the contrary, much is lost, by cog- itating in season and out of season over ways and means to “get even.” The attainment of this ambition is often deferred too long to cause your enemy any harm, and more harm is done to yourself by the gradual warping of a disposition that, under | ordinary circumstances, is sunny and bright. (Copyright, 1924.) HOW IT STARTED BY JEAN NEWTON. Burning Candle at Both Ends. ‘When people work day and night or work during the day and play until late at night, so that extraordinary strain is put on their strength and energy, we say that they are “burn- ing the candle at both ends.” The allusion, of course, is obviously to the fact that candles burmed at both ends would be used up more quickly than one lit only at one end. It Is not so generally known, how- ever, that the phrase takes its origin from a very old form of candle which it was the practice in olden times literally to burn at both ends. That was before the existence of candles as we know them today. What was used was & long taper, strung through a spiral wire arrange- ment which looped downward and then up again, so that both ends of the candle protruded. When two can- dle lights were desired it waa the cus- tom to light both ends of the same taper, which, of courss, burned out very quickly.
