Menu For Xmas Dinner
" . ' - . . ...I f
If you had turkey for Thanks-
giving you may not want It for
Christmas but there Is A great va
rlety of meats from which to
choose
Roast gooso is quite Chrlstmnsy
and with prune onion or potato
stuffing delicious.
A crown of roast pork Is appro-
priate' and perhaps the nicest sort
of "piece de resistance" for tho
small family.
Not only th dinner menu should
115 carefully planned but the meals
for the entire day. Breakfast ia apt
to bo a hurried meal for the cook
If fhfl is also the housewife so let
this meat bo easy to get.
If Christmas dinner Is served at
ono o'clock a light easily digest-
ible supper will be welcome in
many fnmllles the "golng-tothe-cupboard"part
of Christmas Is con-
sidered as much fun ns tho dinner
itself. But If tho sams rich hnd
heavy foods are Indulged In that
formed tho dinner Indigestion may
result.
Christmas supper served In tho
living room will appeal to tho fam
ily.
A reasonable amount of th'ought
should bo used to prevent repenting
flavors. For lnstnnce. If grapefruit
is used for breakfast don't begin
thn Christmas dinner with chilled
grapefruit. Or If crown of pork is
tho dinner moat don't servo bacon
or sausago for breakfast.
Menu Suggestions
Use ptmontoes pickled boots nnd
ollvos for garnishing the Christmas
ennapos. Thesa should bo In the
shnpji of stars.
Mnrnnalllno. candled. mCiirVod.
or canned cherries carry out the
Christmas colors In desserts.
The blushing npple nre colored
with tiny red cinnamon candles.
The ornngo Juice should bo pre-
pared th night beforo.
Tho mind In tho dinner menu is
mado ot mixnd fn It served in n
bright red apple cup on n bed of
Mhreddcd leaf lettuce. A small
spoonful of whipped cream topped
with a bit of crimson jelly or n
eborry mny cover thn salad plloa
slightly above the apple shell.
The beet pickles could bo cut in
th0 shape of stars or tiny Christ-
mas trees for tho supper menu.
ltoot GooVo
Coose should not bo moro.than
eight months old nt the most. Vour
to six months is preferred al-
though a four-month gooss Is usu-
ally roasted without stuffing. An
eight-month to n year-old gooso
should be steamed before roasting.
Scrub and wash thoroughly In-
sldo nnd 'out B0 !ure any soft fat
