Pudding Is Christmas' High Point BY SISTER MARY NEA Service Writer Plum pudding seems almost as much a part of Christmas as holly and carol-singing. And while we usually are surfeited with good things before we get to the plum pudding stage, a bit of rich, “nummy” pudding is needed to make the dinner perfect. Formerly a most intriguing deliciousness was given to the pudding by pouring brandy over the mold and sending it to the table in fascinating blue flame. Now we fill the pudding so "chuck full” of richness that this flavor is not missed. A rich plum pudding can be steamed and kept almost indefinitely. This makes a delightful Christmas gift from the kitchen. Steam the puddings in small bowls, unmold and wrap them in sparkling paper and tie with gay bows threaded with holly. Have High Food Value These rich puddings are of high food value and must be counted as an integral part of the meal when planning the Christmas dinner. Small servings should be given. The more simple puddings are desirable to serve to children. These puddings are at their best when freshly made, and for this reason may be difficult to work in with the other dinner preparations. However, -c Httle planning will make it possible to find room for the ticaming cf the pudding, and the assurance that the small guests or members of the family are not overtaxing digestion is worth the extra effort. True Pudding Is Boiled The true English pliim pudding in boiled in a floured pudding bag. We prefer to steam our puddings in attractive molds suitable to send to the table. The molds may be individual or there may be one large one. The molds for; the puddings must be well greased so that the pudding will slip out easily. The water must not stop boiling during the steaming process and the covers of the molds must fit closely so that no moisture can get into the pudding while it is steaming. With these precautions in mind, even the novice should have no difficulty in making a perfect plum pudding, s The following rule is for a plain plum pudding that is delicious, but not too rich for children: PLAIN PLUM PUDDING One cup finely minced suet, 2 cups stale bread crumbs, 1 cup molasses, 1 cup seeded and chopped raisins, 1 cup cleaned currants, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon soda, 1 teaspoon each ground cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg, 14 cup flour, 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Mix suet and crumbs. Mix and sift flour, salt, soda and spices. Add lemon juice to molasses and combine all ingredients. Stir well to insure thorough mixing. Turn into a well greased, closely covered mold and steam three hours. This pudding is calculated to serve twelve persons. Serve with lemon sauce and a garnish of hard sauce. The next rule is for a rich pudding that can be kept several weeks and reheated as wanted. n u u PLUM PUDDING Two cups cleaned currants, 2 cups seeded raisins, 1 cup candied orange peel, 1 cup shredded citron, 1 cup minced suet, 3 cups stale bread crumbs, 4 eggs, % cup flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, % teaspoon grated nutmeg, H teaspoon ground cloves, 1 cup light brown sugar, Vl* cup molasses, 1 teaspoon salt, % teaspoon soda, 1 cup blanched and shredded almonds, 4 tablespoons tart jelly, 2 tablespoons coffee infusion.

(MAN N£RS* nd MORALSI By Jan£ Jordan xb

WHAT are you worrying aoout? Perhaps Jane Jordan can help you. Write to her as you would any other friend and see what she has to say in this column. Dear Jane Jordan—l read your column every night and sure enjoy it. I would like to speak to ‘'Young Girl” through *your column. I am Interested in her case because it is similar to mine. “Young Girl,” you aren’t alone tor I am with you. I was called queer. But I have decided the ones who called me that didn't j amount to much. The same with your j young man. ! You'll find others more interesting as I you get older. Don’t yld to any of them, jno matter how much you love them. They J will think more of you if you don’t. A year ago I went with a fellow two months and he tried to be too familiar. 1 found I really didn’t love him after all. Three months later I met another and went with him nine months. He drank and I tried to get him to stop. When he made love to me, he said “What’s the difference, we’re going to be married, anyway.’* I explained the difference and we quit. Now he is trying to go with my girl friend. Shall I tell her what he is like or let her find out what he is for herself? Please may I ask another question? Three different times a young married man. a stranger, has taken me to work Just as an act of friendliness. Should I accept any more or not? I never see him any other time. I know you will help me as you have helped others. B. B. B. DEAR B. B. B.—Thank you for your advice to ‘“Young Girl," who would do well to write again and tell her reactions to the interest and sympathy her letter has aroused. In answer to your first question: It never pays to speak ill of any one. If you have nothing good to say it is always best to keep still, unless you are asked. Besides, you seldom receive any thanks for your pains. The other girl is just as apt as not to think you are a cat, or that it is a case of sour grapes on your part. The young man will reveal his own character in the course of time and if she is a girl of any discrimination she will soon find out all she needs to know. A knocker never a Knocker is liked, even when the knocking is Can’t Be justifiable. In answer to Popular your second question: If the young married man is not a masher, what earthly harm is there in your* riding down town with him occasionally? I have been given a lift many times by strangers and appreciate the courtesy very much, especially on a rainy morning. I have been amazed at the stories men tell of how wome i snoot them when they are kind erlbugh t 0 offer a lady a time-saving ride to work. It is a commentary on the conceit of women who believe that the slightest courtesy from a strange man indicates that he has designs on their virtue. Once a man I know saw a mid-dle-aged woman waiting for a street car in the rain. She was the most unattractive, bedraggled-look-ing creature you could imagine, but his chivalry got the better of his distaste and he addressed her courteously, "Madam, may I offer you a ride?” She turned on him with fury in her watery eyes and said, "How dare you! I Don t Think am not that kind of a woman!” He’s Crazy Women simply can not believe About You that men are capable of an impersonal disint rested attitude toward them. If these women were afraid of being held up and their pocketbooks looted, that’s understandable. In this lawless era it is risky to ride in automobiles with strangers. But when it is merely a silly overestimate of their own physical magnetism, they only succeed* in making themselves ridiculous. In your case, I commend your caution because you are so young. It is cheering to hear from a young girl who is careful about her conduct. * n n Dear Jane Jordan—For the last year I’ve been having dates about three times a month with a young man two years my senior. I’ve fellen heels over head In love with him, about a. month ago, he just quit ~ing me up or seeing or writing to me. I feel he doesn't want to buy me a Christmas present. He’s just cheap. Do you think so? He works and has a good position. I’m in love with him and hate to give up his indwifcCbmfati MAKE HOLIDAYS LONGER—travel shorter and more enjoyable—go by American Airways.

i friendship My girl friend says I'd be i a fool to give him any more dates. JUST ANOTHER BREAKING HEART. DEAR Jus t-Another-Breaking-Heart— I don’t know whether the young man is cheap or not. But if you think so, why do you love him? If he is cheap about Christmas presents before you are married, what do you think he would be like with the housekeeping money after you are married? He'd groan every time you bought anew dress and ask you what you did with the nickle he i gave you day before yesterday. However, I am noc ready to brand j him as stingy on such slight evidence. I wouldn't refuse to see him | just because he didn't show up with a Christmas present. After all, when a man calls on a girl three times a month it hardly can be construed as an intimate friendship. When he turns up again, I think I’d just act as if nothing had happened. When his interest in you becomes strong enough, he won’t run away just because it is Christmas.
