HUMOROUS GIFTS THIS YEAR SHOULD BE PRACTICAL

‘Smart but Useful ’ Is Good Ride BY JULIA BLANSHARD NEA Service Writer NEW YORK, Dec. 17. Humor is an excellent trait for any Christmas gift to have. But this year, if you are feeling in a mood to give a smaft present, let your humorous contributions run to useful things. Knickknacks and useless gadgets are out of place this year.* Presents that have a purpose are much more acceptable. Give the tricky presents that have a double purpose and thanks will overwhelm you. Such gifts are especially good to take your Yuletide hostess, send casual acquaintances or fussy triends. Furniture Is Versatile There are innumerable things this winter that look like one article and turn out to be another. Furniture comes high in this list. There are two-timing bookcases that make a coffee table or serving table, day beds that are veritable Wardrobe with a huge drawer under them for storing things, low bufTets that turn and twist into a breakfast table with a whole lot of electrical things at hand to cook on, decorative screens that turn around to show a neat bar, and so on. Among the newest furniture is a modernized old-fashioned fire seat that has three uses. Its round back lifts and hooks to make the seat into a table for dining. Its seat lifts up to show a deep storing space. This is an excellent gift for the small week-end country place or an apartment where it will be so useful by the fireplace. Beverages to the Fore Probably the largest number of trick gifts of this sort cater to the beverage trade. There is a' neat row of three fine old volumes for father’s desk that really are three storehouses for bottles of beverage. ' Dolls do a lot of tricks this Christmas, such as look pretty and function as boudoir pillows, boudoir lamps, pin cushions and powder box tops. . There are many clocks in tms list of tricky gifts. One is a newimported sports watch which tells the time in hours, minutes and seconds, no face showing and the gadget appearing a bagatelle. ■ Another is the electric clock for the home, good in any room, which tells the time and is a calendar too New' is the pocket watch that also is a billfold, in silver. Two-Timing the Library Library desk equipment has Innumerable two-timing gifts, such as handsome inkstands which include In the bottom library scissors and paper knife sets. Canes for men now have match lighters in their tops. Umbrellas for women can have anything from a change purse to a whole vanity box in their handles. Anew cute one is an individual umbrella, quite small, which folds up in sections into a cute case that has vanity and mirror in the top and the whole thing goes into a week-end bag. Young folks arc particularly well pleased with trick gifts that really are usable. Desks that are also radios and bookcases are wonderful contributions to their happiness. Many Gifts for Hostess Women like the new little sleeveless chamois vests that are either worn as blouses or over blouses for a jacket. Smoke sets that combine cigarette boxes, lighters and whole sets of six or a dozen ash trays are good, too. For hostesses, some of the new centerpieces that are candelabra, flower vases or fruit dishes are excellent, and brand new. Ornamental figurines that really are perfume bottles, powder boxes or cold cream jars are welcomed for boudoirs. Little trick purses that turn out to be traveling sewing kits, champagne bottles that are really containers for a half dozen pairs of stockings, gorgeous sofa pillows that contain slumber pillow and nightgown and other such gifts are most acceptable.

Plain Fare i • Best Before 4 Big Spread' BY SISTER MARY NBA SerTtee Writer During the holiday season, when rich foods and elaborate entertaining are the order of the day, plain home meals are much appreciated for every-day fare. New England boiled dinners, sauerkraut dinners, hearty soups, stews, plain salads and simple desserts will make the sumptuous festive dishes doubly appreciated. Oysters are ideal for supper and luncheon parties. They are full of food value and very easily digested when properly cooked. Salt codfish is another happy choice. In a chowder, made into balls and baked in the oven or served in, a cream sauce garnished with hard cooked egg, its salty tang furnishes a pleasant contrast with the flavor of other foods. For Real Nourishment All the legumes offer much nourishment for winter days. Try shredded cabbage with a French dressing, crisp celery, raw carrot straws and new onions and radishes as the market offers them in place of the regulation salad. Apples in almost any fashion make satisfactory desserts for such dinners. Apple sauce with ginger bread, baked apples with cream, apple pie with cheese or one of the many apple puddings furnish a wide variety. Indian pudding, poor man’s rice pudding and simple steamed puddings are homely desserts that prove most acceptable. Meals of this type are economical ajid very easy to prepare. They take but little of the cook’s time and effort and give her extra hours for the last minute “Christmas rush.”

Boiled Dinner Economical There’s no dinner that is more economical and nourishing than the old-fashioned traditional “boiled dinner.” Carefully prepared and attractively served, this simple meal will please the most fastidious. Arrange the vegetables around the meat on a large platter in such a way that the vegetables form a garnish for the meat. Be careful that the vegetables are not overcooked and broken and mushy when sent to the table. Everything should be piping hot. The platter and dinner plates should be heated before using. Our great-grandmothers served their boiled dinners in large, deep chop-plate-like dishes which were made especially for this purpose. The deep dish was supposed to hold the heat and keep the meat and vegetables hot. NEW ENGLAND BOILED DINNER Three or four pounds corned beef, 6 medium sized potatoes, 1 small head cabbage, 3 or 4 parsnips, 4 carrots. Rinse meat in cold water. Put into kettle with enough cold water to more than cover meat. Bring to the boiling point * and skim thoroughly. Simmer for three hours. Remove meat from broth and add parsnips, scraped and cut in halves or quarters. Cook fifteen minutes and add carrots scraped and cut in halves. Cook ten minutes add potatoes pared. Cook ten minutes and add cabbage cut in eighths. Cook twenty minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Drain from broth and serve meat and vegetables on a big hot platter. Salt pork and corned beef were the popular meats for New England housewives, but ham or fresh beef can be chosen if preferred.

more than one occasion is the most practical. One simple enough for every day wear, but dressy enough for an afternoon or evening wrap. The waj fashion-knowing women select such an all-round coat is to decide first on one of the dressier, more formal types of furs. Simple Cut is Best This year that means one of many —mink (real mink if it fits inside the Christmas check or, if not, jap mink) and other striped furs such as weasel or squirrel, dyed to look like sable or left natural gray. Or flat caracul, Persian lamb, Alaska seal or Hudson seal. Next they decide on a coat of simple cut. Don’t think it must be dressy looking just because you mean to wear it with afternoon and evening dresses. If it’s too dressy, it will look out of character with your simpler daytime costumes. The fact that the fur is formal makes it dressy enough. Yet the simple cut keeps it fashion-right for such simple events as shopping. So don’t look for novelties in your practical fur coat. But follow the new silhouette—broad shoulders, moulded waistline, straight skirt—being sure it fastens at the side and high enough. And ‘‘high enough” means with at least one button above the waistline. A collar of self fur is best. And have the lining match the coat color. Then it can be worn harmoniously with dresses of different colors. tt tt Did you know that the life of your fur coat, and its beauty, too, can be prolonged by right care? Send a stamped addressed envelope to Amos Parrish, care of The Times New York Fashion Bureau, 500 Fifth Avenue, New York, and he’ll tell some simple and effective ways. Be sure to include a stamped, addressed return envelope. (Copyright. 1931. bv Amos Parrish) Next—Amos Parrish gives you news about the pillows that make fashionable gifts.
