WOMAN AND HOME 
From Day to Day 
Old Lizette on Sleep 
Bed is the boon for me! 
It’s well to bake and sweep, 
But hear the word of old Lizette: 
It’s better than all to sleep. 
Summer and flowers are say, 
And morning light and dew; 
But aged eyelids love the dark 
Where never a light seeps through. 
What!—open-eyed, my dears. 
Thinking your hearts will break 1 
There’s nothing nothing, nothing, I say, 
That's worth the lying awake! 
I learned it in my youth— 
Love I was dreaming of! 
I learned it from the needle-work 
That took the place of love. 
I learned it from the years 
And what they brought about! 
From song and from the hills of joy 
Where sorrow sought me out. 
It’s good to dream and turn, 
And turn and dream, or fall 
To comfort with my pack of bones, 
And know of nothing at all! 
Yes. never know at all 
If prowlers mew or bark. 
Nor wonder if it’s three o’clock 
Of four o’clock of the dark. 
When the longer shades have fallen 
And the last weariness 
Has brought the sweetest gift of life, 
The last forgetfulness. 
If a sound as of old leaves 
Stir the last bed I keep, 
Then say, my dears, “It’s old Lizette 
She’s turning in her sleep.”

of Vense. 
Christmas Day Meals 
It is the universal custom to plan for 
one big delicious spread on Christmas 
Day, so much t>o that breakfast and sup¬ 
per often seem crowded out. “Oh,” some 
one will say, “no one thinks much about 
breakfast on Christmas morning, and 
there are always enough left-overs from 
dinner to pick up and reheat for supper, 
and a hundred and one different ways ot 
serving them” But why not leave these 
for another day and have an attractive 
little breakfast and supper menu planned 
ahead, too, for this day of all days? For 
convenience I have arranged three menus 
for the day. all of which have a decided 
Christmas flavor: 
breakfast 
Cream of Wheat Thin Cream. 
Fried Sausage, with Baked Bananas. 
Creamed Potatoes. 
Coffee. Christmas Coffee Cake. 
DINNER 
Fruit Cocktails. 
Boast Turkey or Chicken, Celery Stuffing, 
Cranberry Sauce. 
Baked Sweet Potatoes. 
Mashed White Potatoes, Creamed Onions 
Apple and Nut Salad. 
Christmas Pudding or Mince Tie. 
• Ginger Ice Cream. 
Coffee. Raisins. Nuts. 
SUPPER 
Grapefruit. 
Fried Oysters with Cabbage and Pepper 
Salad. 
Parker House Rolls. 
Nut Caramel Cake. Cream Cheese. 
Cocoa, Whipped Cream. 
Arrange vnur breakfast table simply; 
if one has a polished table, crisp doilies, 
and a few sprigs of glossy green holly 
for the center will make it very attrac¬ 
tive. The supper table might have can¬ 
dles with shades, and the same flowers 
or greens used on the dinner table. 
Cut the bananas, served with the sau¬ 
sage. into halves, lengthwise, then into 
quarters crosswise, roll each piece in flour 
and fry a golden brown on both sides, or 
butter a baking tin well and lay the ba¬ 
nanas on this; add a little butter to each 
piece, sprinkle with lemon juice, and bake 
in a quick oven until browned. Fry the 
sausage carefully, drain off all the fat 
and take up on a hot platter, arrange the 
bananas round it, and add a few sprigs 
of parsley or cress. 
The coffee cake must, of course, be 
made the day before it is needed. Scald 
2\U cups of milk, and cool; when luke¬ 
warm dissolve one compressed yeast cake 
in one-half cup of it, and beat into this 
one-half cup of flour, cover and let i-ise. 
When light add remaining milk and 4% 
cups of flour. Stir until thoroughly 
mixed, cover again anl let rise. Then 
add one-half cup of shortening, oue-lialf 
cup of sugar, one beaten egg, one-half 
teaspoon of salt, one teaspoon of almond 
extract and 1% cups of flour. Turn out 
on the mixing board and knead, using 
one-half cup of flour. Cover and let 
stand until very light, then cut into three 
portions of equal size, and roll with the 
hands into three 12-inch strips, and braid 
these into one broad one. Form this 
into a ring, place it on a buttered tin, 
cover, and when light again brush over 
with the yolk of one egg slightly beaten 
and diluted with one tablespoon of water, 
and sprinkle thickly with chopped al¬ 
monds and candied citron or angelica, 
and bake in a moderate oven. 
The RURAL NEW-YORKER 
For stuffing the turkey, get stale bread, 
remove the crust and crumb fine. Cook 
two cups of chopped celery in just euough 
water to cover it, and add this without 
draining to four cups of the crumbs, with 
two tablespoons of butter and 1^ tea¬ 
spoon of salt, one each of pepper and 
powdered thyme. Stuff the turkey and 
truss neatly, then rub all over with salt 
pork fat or olive oil, dredge with well- 
seasoned flour, and put in a hot oven. 
When the flour begins to brown reduce 
the heat, add two cups of boilmg water 
to the pan and baste every 15 minutes 
until the liquor in the pan is used, 
then with 1*4 cups of boiling water, in 
which two tablespoons of blitter. have 
been melted, baste until the turkey is ten¬ 
der and browned. A good-^ized turkey re¬ 
quires at least three hours. Remove the 
skewers and strings before sending to the 
table, and garnish with cress and red pep¬ 
per rings. 
To make the salad attractive choose 
perfectly smooth red apples, and polish 
them; then quarter and core and cut into 
tiny cubes. There should be three cups. 
Squeeze the juice of one lemon over them 
and add two cups of crisp celery hearts 
chopped rather fine, and one-half cup of 
broken nut meats. Mix all well with 
mayonnaise dressing, and serve on crisp 
lettuce leaves, with a sprinkle of finely 
chopped parsley and red pepper over the 
top. 
Nearly every housewife has her own 
favorite recipe for the Christmas pie or 
pudding. The ice cream here is very

Tor Many Ills 
and Complaints 
—Musterole 
In grandma’s day many 
an illness was nipped in the 
bud by the prompt applica¬ 
tion of a stinging, burning 
mustard plaster. 
But mother uses Musterole. It 
has all the virtues of the old-time 
mustard plaster without the fuss, 
muss or blister. 
For little Bobbie’s croup, for 
Betty’s sore throat, for grandma’s 
rheumatism or father’s lumbago— 
for the family’s colds and for 
many other ills and complaints 
mother resorts to ever-helpful 
Musterole. 
When there is the sign of a 
cough, down comes the Musterole 
jar from the medicine shelf. 
A little of this clean, white 
ointment is rubbed on the chest 
or throat. It penetrates way down 
deep under the skin, and gener¬ 
ates a peculiar heat which routs 
out that disturbing congestion. 
Strangely enough Musterole 
feels warm only a moment or 
two after you apply it. The first 
tingle and glow is followed al¬ 
most immediately by a soothing, 
delightful coolness. 
Musterole is made with oil of 
mustard and a few home simples. 
Try it for coughs and colds (it 
often prevents pneumonia), bron¬ 
chitis, sore throat, stiff neck, 
neuralgia, headache, rheumatism, 
lumbago, pains and aches of the 
back, and sore orstrained muscles. 
Many doctors and nurses recommend 
Musterole. 
35c. and 65c jars; hospital size. $300.
