Oratorio to Be Offered for Charity Handel’s ‘Messiah’ Will Be Sung Friday in Irvington. B* BEATRICE BURGAN Time. Woman * Pace Editor THE Irvington Union of Clubs can’t request “that gentlemen come without their swords and ladies without thoir hoops" for the presentation of Handel’s “Messiah" Friday night, as was the action of the first sponsor of the oratorio in Dublin on April 18. 1742. The re-

quest was made by the Duke of Devonshire. sponsor, to enable more guests to crowd into the Music Hall. Instead the union is promising that the Irvington Community Chorus will present one of the outstanding Christmas musical enterta in ments and Judges from past

experience that the “house will be filled. ’* The annual project of the union will be presented in the Irvington Methodist Church for the purpose of raising funds to supply free milk to needy children. Likewise the first performance of the oratorio was presented as a benefit project. The Duke of Devonshire, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, invited Handel to visit his city and to present an oratorio for charity’s sake. Handel, then 58, composed “The Messiah” in twenty-four days. Conducted by Composer The sponsor expected so many guests at the presentation that the special request was made, and thus without the encumbrances 100 more persons could join the audience. The proceeds were used to release from jail men unable to pay their debts and to aid Mercer’s Hospital and the Charitable Infirmary on Inn's Quay. Handel himself presented "The Messiah” annually in London to raise money lo support a foundlings’ home. Asa consequence, the major number of performances of the oratorio in England and America have been sponsored for charitable reasons. One Hundred to Sing Every member of the chorus, the' director. J. Russell Paxton, and the soloists have volunteered their services. Singers of all ages from Irvington have joined the chorus, which will include 100 voices. Soloists will be Mrs. William A. Devin, soprano; Miss Maxine Moore, contralto; George Kadel, tenor; George Newton, basso, and Dale Young, organist. Mrs. J.

Manners and Morals BY JANE JORDAN

Today we have more letters defending and upbraiding women who smoke. Letters from readers on any subject are always welcome! Dear Jane Jordan—This tobacco thing has gotten under my skin and I would like to say my say to the biddies who did not like your flippant, but very expressive answer. I

have not always smoked. I do not always smoke. Ah, but the comfort of a smoke when thinking something out alone. Who does not remember the words of Charles Kingsley in “Westward Ho!” when he writes of tobacco: "To be a lone man’s companion, a chilly man’s fire, a sad

n

man’s cordial —when all things were made, none was made better than this. There is no herb like it under the canopy of Heaven.” A smoke, a fire, a good book, a walk, a sketching trip, or waves, a gray rain, the peace and monotone in the beauty of it, and i. smoke. A long hike in the cold with one’s best girl friend, and the companionship of a cool, sweet smoke. If a few of these pitting kids would learn to smoke and keep their brains on talk and their hands on their cigarets, this worli would be a better place.

SMOKE GETS IN MY EYES. Answer—During the war General Pershing said, that tobacco was as essential as food. The Assistant Secretary of War said: “To men enduring physical hardship. tobacco fills a need that nothing else can satisfy.” It is hard to find a logical explanation for the pleasure of smoking. It provides a let-down from the strain of living, but that is about all that can be said for it that makes sense. I turn the rest of the column over to the readers. a an Dear Jane Jordan—l think really intelligent people have so many more important things to worry about right now that such a trivial thing as women smoking isn’t worth the effort to argue about. If some of the people who get so excited abouj problems which are some one else's personal business would use a little of that energy un things that affect millions of lives, for instance. figuring out how to make marriage possible for the millions of kids who need and want it. or how to legislate efficiently against kidnaping. they wouldn’t have time to waste on unimportant things. Smoking is purely a matter of taste, and should be regarded as such. It might interest some of the die-hards to know that Queen Mary herself smokes, and you could j scarcely call Queen Mary immoral! It goes without saying that I smoke, so I suppose that classifies me as A FALLEN WOMAN. Answer—l have been very much

surprised at the number of replies to the smoking question. u n u Dear Jane Jordan I know a woman who thinks it is vile for a woman to smoke, but she hates another member of her church; another who delights in questionable stories and in running down people’s characters, and many who read cheap literature and whose conversation consists of empty gossip. If smoking dulls the mind, which I doubt, there are many people with dull minds who never touched a cigaret. I do not object to smoking any more than I object to any of the things I have mentioned. I some how don’t care for public smoking in women. I don’t know w r hy. A READER. Dear Jane Jordan—l am on® of three young married women. We have been intimate friends for years and years and have no need to show off in front of each other. We enjoy chatting and smoking together, and smoke when we are at home alone doing our housework. Now if we do it just to be smart and show off, why don’t we wait until we are with a crowd, or in public? NOT A GODDESS. Dear Jane Jordan—Odd that so many people are against women smoking. It’s so commonly done every day and where that nobody should pay any attention to it. I smoke because I enjoy it, not to be a sport or because it is smart. It adds to the enjoyment of living. I like your column very much. You help people to find themselves. . SINCERE. Answer—There are plenty more letters from the opposition which I will use later if the interest in the subject continues.

Holiday Season Brings 1 Need for Giving Careful Thought to Menu Making. Home Larder Should Be Stocked With Assortments of Foods Appropriate to Christmas Time. BY HELEN LINDSAY IN between frantic periods of Christmas shopping, housewives are thinking of the planning of holiday meals. When members the fafniiy return for Christmas visits, or other guests arrive to spend the holidays, meal planning extends beyond the serving of the family Christmas dinner. There will be need for intimate little holiday suppers. Christmas teas and parties, and even the breakfast table must be dressed up to conform to the holiday spirit. . _ Twelve days of Christmas is the traditional time of merriment and feasting. The expert housewife will stock her larder with all kinds >*.

seasonal “goodies” to take care of the appetites of her holiday guests. One of the traditional hospitality services is the Christmas punch. While some families get out the old Tom and Jerry bowl, and prepare to serve the hot drink which has been a favorite for ages, even in these post-repeal days there are others who cling to nonalcoholic beverages. Here’s a Yule punch which is delicious enough to please the entire family, and can be served the children with freedom: Mix one quart of cider, one can of pineapple juice, one cup of bottled cranberry juice, one cup of orange juice and one-fourth cup of lemon juice with a little sugar. Chill, then pour over ice in a large bowl. Slice into the bowl one banana and a slice of pineapple. The

recipe fill 16 punch glasses. It may be slightly diluted with water if desired. Christmas cakes can be baked long before the holidays, and stored In the cooky jar or in pretty tin boxes, along with the Christmas plum pudding and the fruit cake. Besides the little cakes which origins ed in Germany, and which have been associated with the holiday season for centuries, there are delicious Christmas hermits, which can be served guests who drop in for gay holiday visits. To make hermits, cream one-third cup butter and one-half cup brown sugar; add one well-beaten egg. To this add one cup of canned mincemeat, and then one cup of flour which has been sifted with two teaspoons of baking powder. Drop by spoonfuls on a greased cooky sheet, and bake in a hot oven, 400 degiees, eight to 10 minutes. This recipe makes about 30 cookies. 0 0 0 0 0 0 Delicacies Made of Popcorn POPCORN makes a pleasing holiday delicacy. Because it pops better when it contains just enough moisture to turn into steam, it is a good plan to buy it in cans After it is popped, there are a number of recipes in which it can be used. For popcorn bliss, cook one and a half cups of sugar, one-third cbp of water, and one-fourth cup corn syrup to 244 degrees. Beat one egg white until stiff, add hot syrup slowly, beating constantly, and continue beating .until it loses its gloss. Add three-fourths cup chopped popcorn, being sure to remove all hard kernals, and pour into a buttered plate. Cut into squares. To make popcorn and puffed wheat balls, boil one cup molasses and one-half cup dark syrup to 260 degrees. Add one tablespoon butter and a pinch of soda and pour over one quart of freshly popped corn, mixed with one and a half cups of puffed wheat. Mix well and form into balls with the hands. Popcorn cheese marbles are made by mixing one-half cup very finely ground popped corn with one-half cup grated cheese and a few grains of salt, moistened with mayonnaise. Form into small balls or marbles. Roll in more of the finely ground popped corn, and chill in the refrigerator. Serve with salads. 000 000 Colorful Salads Suggested THE salads can be colorful, and add to holid&y decoration. For a green and red salad, peas and beets may be used. Dissolve one package, of lemon gelatin in one cup boiling water, and add one-half teaspoon salt. Add two tablespoons of this mixture to two packages of cream cheese, mashed. Divide the remaining gelatin into two equal parts. To part one add one tablespoon vinegar, tw r o teaspoons horseradish, seven tablespoons liquor from canned beets, and one-half cup of beets. To part two add one tablespoon vinegar, one tablespoon of India relish, seven tablespoons canned pea liquor and one-half cup of peas. Pour part one into six individual wet molds, and let harden in refrigerator. Then add the cheese mixture, spreading it evenly over the hardened gelatin, and let chill again. Pour in part two, and finish hardening. Serve molded on lettuce and garnish with mayonnaise. Other red and green Christmas salads may be made by using tender stalks of canned asparagus bound together with a strip of flaming pimiento, or with canned artichokes garnished with vivid red radish roses. For the informal holiday supper, use a centerpiece of winter fruits, banked on a low pewter bowl or a cheese tray, preferably of natural walnut, on which the wedges and squares of favorite cheeses show up appetizingly. With this serve black coffee and crisp crackers.
