By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX
onl GREAT FAMILY DINNER is Thanksgiving. But on Stmas Day, dinner is only part of the story. Turkey will be plentanil and would be a good choice. Duck is also popular, especially for smaller dinners. Goose has a Christmas flavor and often is used in America by families with an old-world tradition behind their American tradition.
Then there s roast pork, always popular, and easy to prepare, A large roasted chicken can come to Christmas dinner without any apologies, too. So you see there is no set Christmas meat, as there Is for Thanksgiving. Because Christmas is essentially a children’s day, better have mashed potatoes because that is their favorite way. One or two vegetables—simple and easy to cook—should be included. A light, refreshing salad after the main course and a colorful fruit cup or fruit juice drink before the meat should be the rule. Hot breads, nuts and olives always add a festive note. :
FOR DESSERT, tradition suggests plum pudding, fruit cake and mince pie. But many people find these too heavy for family dinners where children’s appetites condition the menu. Ice cream with a fruit sauce or with hot caramel, butterscotch or chocolate sauce is always a howling success. And on a day when Peppermint sticks and other candies are all over the place, a light dessert iS appropriate. Strawberry snow, made of gelatin anda cream Whipped together, for instance.
How does this menu sound to your Christmas appetite? Grapefruit and tangerine fruit cup with one preserved strawberry in each cup; hearts of celery; ripe and green olives; crown roast of pork With sausage stuffing; brown gravy; fluffy mashed potatoes; brussels sprouts; cranberry and applesauce; Belgian endive salad; french dressing; vanilla ice cream with chocolate almond sauce; fruit cake; nuts and raisins.
. To serve about 12 persons, get a roast of 12 to 14 chops and have the butcher prepare them for you as a crown roast. Mix pork Sausage with seasoned breadcrumbs and stuff the center of the crown. Top each chop end with a cubs of salt pork to prevent burning while roasting. Salt and pepper roast. Set on rack and brown in hot oven (500 degrees F.) for about half an hour, then reduce heat to moderate (330 degrees F.) and continue to cook three hours longer, until tender. Remove salt and pork and place roast on hot platter. Garnish with vegetables.
JANE JORDAN
DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am a young lady 22 years of age, considered by my friends and family to be very sensible. For the past two years I have been going with a young man 32 years old whom I love very much, and who asked me to marry him recently. My problem is this: He is a Catholic and I am a Protestant. Do you think our marriage could be a success? We are both fairly broadminded and liberal in our views. Although my parents like him very much they are opposed to our marriage because of his religion. What would you do? PERPLEXED,
Answer—In a recent study of the married lives of 526 couples, conducted by Prof. Burgess of the University of Chicago, and Dr. Cottrell of Cornell University, it was found that a difference of religion between partners had very little effect, as a rule, upon martial happiness. The important thing seemed to be the number of years they attended Sunday school in their youth, According to this survey, the chances of happiness in marriages are much greater if both attended Sunday school, Protestant, Catholic or Jewish until the age of 19 or over, than if they gave up going at the age of 12 or 15, or never attended at all.
It is my belief that if the parents would let the young people alone, they would find a solution satisfactory to themselves. In your case, it is not your own convictions which trouble you, but the views of your parents. What should concern them more than the religious affiliations of their children, is the state of their own martial happiness, for this has a much greater bearing upon the future of the young. To quote from the survey: “If dad and mother in both families are happily married, it is a pretty safe bet that the children will make a go of it. If the parents failed, the outlook is less promising.” - - = 2 = » DEAR JANE JORDAN-I am 19 vears old and I Jove a certain boy four years my senior. I have loved him for two years, but he

THIS WEIRD WAR! Is it a “phoney”—or a menace to Europe's civilization, perhaps even to ours? Everyone is trying to tell us the answer: Newspapers, radio, magazines, even columns like this one. Take my advice. Save yourself time and headache by reading such of these as strike your fancy:

BEAUTY
By ALICIA HART
The big news in smart -coiffures is height at the front of the head and a tapered line at the back, To go with hats that will be
worn on—really on—the back of the head, coiffure experts like coxcomb effects at the front and neatness at the back. The medium length or semi-bob outshines both the long, shoulderlength and the very short, baby varieties. The smartest haircuts are | a becoming medium between long and short and the majority are arranged with a cluster of curls or a roll just over the forehead. The tapered line at the back of a| coiffure with height at the front dramatizes the nice lines of the nape of the neck. Hair is brushed | smoothly over the crown of the head, then shaped to conform with | the natural bone structure. Ends| may be worn in a neat cluster of curls or a roll. However, if they | are quite short, swirls often are used.

Answer—If you follow my instructions vou will give up. This stubborn resolution to love “him or nobody” is not a good omen. Plenty of boys are as attractive as he is, and if you'd admit your defeat in this instance, you would be more likely to find success in the next instance.

CHILDREN
DEAR MRS. BOOKER. I know I have not written much recently about the pre-school child, but you see, there are children of all ages and their problems are as endless as our own. Yes, indeed, there are good books that tell vou worlds about the little child, his care, his development and his habits .
The Children’s Bureau in Washington (Department of Labor) has two booklets they send out to mother for, I believe, 10 or 15 cents. One is called “Infant Care,” and the other, “The Child From One to Six." They have quite a list of these. Write for this list, check off the ones you want and get them. There are, however, larger books on the market on the pre-school child, lucidly and kindly written. ; The way to get them, or it, if you live in an out-of-the-way place, {s to write to a store that has a book department, or ask the librarian in your town to refer you to the various publishers of this type of book. Usually such a volume costs from $1.50 to $2.50. Then there are simply excellent books on child care, or home treatment for simple illnesses, and nursing. They won't take the place of your doctor, ever, and hang onto him, but they are filled with good ideas on general prevention and are very comfortable to have around. Again, ask the librarian. Generally speaking, you will absorb some valuable ideas. Why is it that a great portion of the public will read about raising good dogs, fine roses and delicious cakes, but isn’t willing to learn the first thing about the funny little quirks of children and the way to make them happy, strong and confident? Yours sincerely,
OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON. Clin | ¥
PATTERN 919
JUMPER DRESS—SO0 RIGHT FOR SCHOOL
The young idea in a skipping-off-to-school outfit will delight your daughter. Young girls like to be in the swing of fashion and the jumper frock is a classroom favorite everywhere, Claire Tilden has created an unusually smart style in Pattern 919. Use the concise directions of her Sewing Guide that accompanies the pattern and turn out a professional-
looking job. The skirt has eight .gores for a merry flare, the bodice has darts for a trim fit. See how the top of the jumper is shaped to flatter immature young lines, and notice how the wide, button-trimmed straps are placed to “stay-put” on the shoulders. As for the long or short-sleeved blouse, there's a novel touch in the collar with its wing-like, rounded revers and perky bow. Use fresh white or a gay print for the blouse; spun rayon or wool for the jumper. Pattern 919 is cut in girls’ sizes 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14. Size 8, jumper, requires 1% yards 35-inch fabric; blouse, 14 yards contrast. Send fifteen cents (15¢) in coins for this pattern. Write clearly size, name, address and style number. Send orders to Pattern DepartIndianapolis Times, 21¢ W. St. - x i ti ao
Sternberg's quotations “From Nazi Sources” liance: $2), which was the best-seller in Hungary till Hitler banned it. The Nazis didn't ban Count Puckler's “How Strong Is Berlin?” whose answer is “pretty strong.” Veritas Press publishes this at $2.50 without explaining its ending: “The country whose policy is more moral than Britain's will defeat her... .” “Defense of Britain” is not only the title of Lid- | dell Hart's book (Random House: $3.50), but his! specialty, on which he has lately advised the Brit-| ish Government. But also he writes authoritatively and clearly here on general European military problems, and more than any other writer explains this weird war.

STRATEGY: That astrological science and esoteric art in one is made ABC by two American maJors—R. Ernest Dupuy and George Fielding Eliot | —in “If War Comes” (Macmillan: $3). Also] weighs opposing forces—land, sea, air and what} they might do or try to do to one another. For even later details re Europe, see ‘The Caissons Roll,” by Hanson W. Baldwin, the New York Times’ conscientious and readable military and naval expert, which Knopf publishes at $2.50. Major Dupuy’s latest, “World in Arms” (Military | Science Publishing Co.: $2), gives a bird's-eye view with simplified maps and diagrams that, like those | in the “Handbook” mentioned above, do all but the | impossible. One cannot diagram war's imponder- | ables, including morale and quality
of armies. | RIDDLE: Russia. If you like puzzles, try “Military Strength of] the Powers,” by Max Werner, variously described as a pseudonym, a German refugee and a Stalinist, who certainly takes his Red Army straight (Modern Age: 95 cents).
AT SEA? Then read “Sea Power and Today's War,” which Har-rison-Hilton have just published at $3. Facts about the world’s | navies, our own included, presented so dramatically you'd like to get | down on the floor with the author, Fletcher Pratt, and share his favorite relaation—naval battles with model warships.
RELAX: Read Tolstoy's “War and Peace” (any bookseller or library) —and be glad you're in America.
