A Centerpiece.
As for the decorative centerpiece
for the Christmas table this year.
why not try a gingerbread house
with a gingerbread Santa. Claus?
Can you imagine the thrill of nib-
bling the chimney of Santa’s house
or actually swallowing a spicy.
crumbly hand of the beloved saint-
0110' will gladly forcgo the plum
pudding or mince pie when one is
less than 8 if one may consume a
piece of a house.
The following menu is not brin-
fling with new clshes. but does have
0 or It“) points that make it dif-
ent and worth consideration.
It. begins with an oyster cocktail
or several reasons. First the oys-
ters are nourishing and easily di-
‘ seated. second they require no cook-
ing and extra fussing at the lust
ininuto and third they are at their
best not this time of year. Also
i with the cocktail sauce they form a
pianist appetizer that is not so
hishly.i‘lavored as to the dull plate
to foods to come.

* Chestnut Stuffing.
Roast goose with chestnut stuf-
fins provides the piece ds resistance.
The sauce is a bit unusual and most
, delicious.
The vegetables are planned with
children in mind. And so is the sa-
led.
The plum pudding isn’t really

With the “best linen. “best silver
‘A and 'best” dishes. The centerpiece is
in place and the cocktails are served
when the guests sit down to the
table. The celery and olives may be
on the table or if a mold is in at-
tendance they are passed and then
placed on the table to stay until the
removal of the main course.
The cocktails are removed, leav-
‘ing the service plate in front of each
bouillon cup in its
saucer placed on the service plate.
The bouillon cups are removed
from the service plates after the‘
second course. Then the service
' plate is removed with one hand. the
dinner plate served with goose and
stuffing is placed with the other
hand. The host may curve and serve
the plates if he prefers or they may
be served from the kitchen. If,the
dinner is maidlt-ss it means much ip

So much for the dinner itself. The
gingerbread house is our next con-
sideration. This should be baked one
or two days before Christmas and
hidden in a safe place until wanted.
A good cookie mixture is baked
in six sheets. Two are ten by seven
inches. for the sides of the house.
Two are six by ten for the ends of
the house and two are ten by three
for the roof. Of course you can
choose your own proportions and
make the house any size you want.
The ends are cut to fit into the
point of the roof. The pieces are put
together with a. heavy strip boiled
to the crack stage.
Windows and doors can be cut.
in the house after the sheets are
baked. 1f the mixture bakes uneven-
ly trim the pieces to uniform size.
The following recipe is particu-
larly good for the cookie mixture.
Cookie Mixture.
Three-fourths cup butter. 1 cup
brown sugar. 1A; cup molasses. 1 egg.
1,6 cup sour cream. 1% teaspoons
soda. 5 cups flour, 1 teaspoon salt.
2 teaspoons ginger. 1 teaspoon cin-
nnmon.
molasses and beat until smooth.
Add egg well beaten. Dissolve soda.
in sour cream and add to mixture.
Mix and sift flour. salt. ginger and
cinnamon and add to first mixture.
Chill for several hours. Roll very
thin and cut in the described sheets.
Bake 12 minutes in in. moderate
oven. Let cool before using to build
the house.
This same cookie mixture is used
to make the figure of Santa Claus.
boiled frosting can be used for
snow and fur trimmings on Santa's
coat.
This centerpiece will take time to
make but is won't take much money.
which is worth thinking about at.
this time of the year.

serial number differs from the gen-
uine in the manner described in Cir-
cular No. 567' and the maker of
this note is undoubtedly responsible
for the notes described in Circular
No. 581. This counterfeit will de-
ceive the unwary handler of cur-
rency."
