When it comes to the final course of the Christmas dinner, the dessert, then all laws are broken, In every home there are dishes renowned, if not for generations, certainly for the ability of the host- ©88, These may range from plum pud- ding to snow pudding, from mince pie to doughnuts, from hot sweets to ices. They are known as family dishes. To displace them from their position of honor upon the family teble would be like removing the slippers from the hearthstone. Newly married housewives who are a little timid can try an almond desert, an apple and rice dish or can arrange a pretty glass bowl of fruit in a new way. It will be eaten and called good, no matter what it be you may be sure of that--on this the first Christmas of married life, U Dance Last Night.

When ready to serve put a spoonful of whipped cream over the jelly in each basket. Serve in a bed of green leaves. ) The Uses of Cheese. (heese is such a concentrated food that a little of it is valuable in the bill of fare. There should never be a crumb of cheese wasted as there are c0 many dishes that are improved by a tablespoonful of grated cheese. Served as it commonly is in cubes or slices as an accompaniment to the dessert or as dessert itself with erack- ers it needs no recommendation. Cheese alone or in combination makes a fine filling for sandwiches, Take equal parts o fthe grated cheese and walnuts pounded to a meal, moisten with thick cream and season to taste with salt. Spread between thin slices of buttered bread. A little grated cheese added to a white sauce which may be served with eggs or ""—‘rav i RSN IR DS NN % &4 derwear. fore buying. & 1} NNV v & NN LD I 13 , @ Come and look the stock over. in Every Department. 5 toast is a nice breakfast or luncheon dish.
