It is dimeuit to break away from delicious luncheon yet ullise rem- custom, and moreover it is wrong.nants of turkey,
We must stick to our childish plea-
mires.
We cannot, maybe, cat the same amount of Christmas pudding or the me alarming quantity of mince pies, yet traditions are traditions.
So let us have for Christmas Day the usual classical food, and let the pudding be the one so carefully pro- pared after a secret family recipe and mude the year before.
Let us have lovely cards-u robin at a cottage window in a snowy land- scape, and a few. lines more scnti- sentimental mental than the most unes of Dickens.
It is almost impossible to make a real Christmas dinner menu with un- usual dishes; it would not seem like Christmas.
But our problem really begins with the other menis around Decem-| ber 25, with the complication of closed shops.
When Guests Arrive
We must first of all make up our minds about the type of meal, Juncheon or dinner, we want. Let us say in any case that at all these meals there will be guests,
MENU FOR LUNCHEON Scrambled Eggs with Haddock. Croquets of Turkey, Temato Sauce.
Salad of Endives and Beetroot, Mont Blanc.

We can still use the carcase and bones of the turkey and make fairly elaborate dinner party.
MENU FOR DINNER
Cream of Turkey, Fillets of Sole Murat. Woodcock su Fumel, Pommes Macaire. Iced Pineapple Salad.
Or should we feel rustically in- We can cook a lunchcon clined which might be something new and thrilling for Hongkong people.
COUNTRY MENU
Bacon and Egg Pie. Old Devonshire Rabbit Brawn. Tomato Salad.
Christmas Pudding.

Good King Wenceslas looked out
He little knew or dreamed about The seed that he was sowing. He little knew that rugged boys, In notes of loud, discordant noise,
Would keep his trumpet blowing; Or dreamed that such a humble claim To plely would win him fame.

Worshipped the berried parasite

The object of their veneration. Shielding promiscuous osculation.

To fill an infant's slocking.
It must have made the moujike weep
To think of such a holy sweep.

A great many people are dis- appointed in, wines (I do not mean the connoisseurs, who know exactly: what they want) because they are buying them пла serving them wrongly.
Rules to Remember. I will first give a resume of the rules as far as drinking is concerned; A dry white wine on. Ash and soup;
DECEMBER 19, 1936.
FOOD
A sweet white wine on sweets; As for Champagne, It can take the place of either white wines or de drunk all through.
About temperature: all white wines really cold, Burgundy at the temperature of the cellar, that is, fairly cool; Claret at the tempera- ture of the room.
You can put the Claret in a Blightly warm decanter, but never warm the wine itself suddenly.
As for choosing the wines, them-. selves and their prices, it is a great mistake to believe that unless you pay 10s. a bottle you will not get anything good,
Of course you cannot go wrong with great names, but there are other wines which are perfectly delelous and considerably cheaper.
This is not idle talk or vague ad- vice: you can definitely buy for a sum varying between 3s, and 6s, a battle extremely good wines, perfect for immediate drinking.
The shops in London, this year of grace 1936, help us a lot for our Christmas entertainment.
Work It Out
For Yourself.
Yesterday George went to put his car away' and found the
the drive leading to
garage blocked by two ladders lying across each other.
One ladder just renched a first-floor window, which he knew was. 10ft from the ground. The other ladder came Rush with a sili 16ft high on the next door house, He found that his head would just touch the point where the ladders crossed. How tall is he?
It was lucky that the clumsy. men with their Indders had not
interfered with his snail re- search. Somɑ days ago he put a snail to climb the 10ft to the window sill.
This snail always climbs 3ft. by day and drops back two at night. Yesterday afternoon it was just breasting the sill. How many days ago did it start to climb?
Worked Out For You
You don't have to know the length of the ladders or the width of the drive to work out that George was dit. tall. (It's done by working out propor- tions of similar triangica.) Eight day's ugo. The total progress for seven days and nights was
A red wine, Claret or Burgundy, 7t; add 3ft for the next day, on meat dishes;

A LAY SERMON
these words, for the strife is fierce By HUGH REDWOOD
and there are many losses, many there is any joy greater than that weakenings of the side, many deadly of winning a soul for Jesus, it disappointments. But he turns to the joy of seeing that soul where, in the thick of the fight, the quickened by the living Spirit of God upraised standard is firmly held, and and taking its stand, in the strength he cries, "We live, If ye stand thus given, with Christ, against the fast!"
