‘The turkey is the pivot of the New

Cock turkeys have a better flavor 
than hen turkeys unless the latter 
are especially young, plump and 
small. A ten-pound turkey is a good 
size and should be plump and smooth 
with smooth, dark legs and with soft, 
pliable cartilage at the end of the 
breast bone. The turkey should be 
dressed, cleaned, stuffed and trussed, 
and then placed on its side on a rack 
ina dripping pan. After the entire sur- 
face has been rubbed with salt, the 
breast, legs and wings may be spread 
with one-third cup of butter, creamed 
and mixed with one-fourth cup flour. 
Then, when the bottom of the pan 
has been dredged with flour, the tur- 
key is ready for the oven, which 
should be hot enough to brown the 
flour on the turkey quickly. Next,

it must be turned frequently to 
brown evenly, and should be basted 
at least every quarter of an hour.

----- Judy’s Suggestions for Inexpensive Holiday Gifts —-

For Her Gift. 
Fach week the shops grow festive, 
grow Christmasy! And so many 
new and wholly charming things are 
appearing that the difficulty les in 
choosing which of the many desir- 
ables to describe here. 
For “her” gift, why not choose 
something intimately and exquisitely 
for her own use. More beautiful 
and luxurious than ever are the 
dainty bags for sewing, for knitting, 
for the opera that are appearing in 
the shops. One of the Boston Japan- 
ese shops has a dainty, little utility 
bag for only $1.00 The bag, which 
is of crepe de chine in dainty shades, 
pale blue, lavender, peach, purple, 
blue and pink combined, and whiie, 
is hand-embroidered with small, 
Japanese flowers. It is lined with 
china silk to match the outside, and 
the whole upper part is gathered to 
a silken covered round about five 
inches in diameter. The bag is drawn 
up with cord and tassels to match the 
silk. There are other, very beautt- 
ful bags for various uses and _ their 
prices skip away beyond the reach 
of the ordinary purse. Some of the 
very newest opera bags are of heavy 
brocades, small about the bottom, and 
with the wide top finished with a 
“turnover collar” that hides the rib- 
bons and bows to close it. One of 
brocaded blue silk was lined with 
buff corded silk, and wee buds edged 
the top. It was fitted with a purse 
attached by a fine chain and a mirrors, 
which had tiny pockets for pins and 
the indispensable invisible hair-pins. 
This one was $14.00, and _ similar 
bags in brocaded velvets and spangled 
raterials were $18.00. 
Boudoir Slippers. 
OUDOIR slippers in the most ex- 
quisite of materials and_ styles 
may be purchased at the shops at a 
not too high price, and may be made 
at home by the clever worker at con- 
siderably less cost. Almost all have 
silk, quilted soles and come in the 
delicate colors that so delight the

gredients in the order given. 
(2) Glazed Sweet Potatoes 
Wash and pare sweet potatoes. 
After boiling fifteen minutes in salt- 
ed water, cut in crosswise slices and 
put in a buttered pan. Brush pota- 
toes with the syrup, for which the 
recipe is given below, and bake ten 
minutes basting twice with remaining 
syrup. 
Syrup: 
Boil 1-2 cup sugar and 4 tablespooas 
water for 3 minutes; add 1 tablespoon 
butter. 
(3) Thanksgiving Pudding 
Pour 4 cups of scalded milk over 
14% cups cracker crumbs; add 1 cup 
of sugar, four beaten eggs, 12 grated 
nutmeg, I teaspoon salt and 1-3 cup 
melted butter. To this mixture add 
1¥%4 cups raisins, softened and seeded, 
and bake in buttered dish 2% hours. 
Stir after the first half hour to pre- 
vent raisins from settling. 
Serve with following sauce: Cream 
Y% cup butter with 1 cup powdered 
sugar; add slowly 2 _ tablespoons 
brandy, the well-beaten yolks of two 
eggs and % cup milk, cook over hot 
water until of a custard-like consis-

whites of the eggs. 
feminine eye. At three dollars one 
may purchase a pair of the daintiest, 
most comfortable slippers imaginable. 
Used with the quilted soles are satin 
tops gathered at the top and finished 
with a band of white swansdown. A 
cluster of tiny fruit is placed in front. 
A pair of very smart, little white 
mules had three black, simulated 
straps across the instep and a flat 
buckle in the middle. These were 
$2.25. Still another pair were entire- 
ly of pink satin with covered elastic 
straps for the ankle and in top. These 
were $1.95. The shops will make 
these up in any desired size and color. 
Gifts for the Man. 
FTER all, though, choosing mi- 
lady’s gift is only selecting the 
choicest blooms from a riotous gar- 
den. The harder problem, and the 
one requiring more finesse to solve 
satisfactorily, is the gift for the man, 
particularly for the busy man. There 
are a number of new cigarette cases 
and ash trays, the latter combined 
with match-holders that any man 
who smokes will surely welcome. 
Cigarette cases in sterling silver plate, 
solid sterling silver, and 10 or 14 
karat gold are priced from $3.50 up- 
wards, and have all over patterns 
with or without a monogram spot.
