For minutes count these busy days and electricity can help to keep our clocks to the exact second, here are many styles of electric clocks; one, a most decided departure from the old ways, has only a tiny synchronous motor to drive the hands, This style receives its timing impulses directly from the light cur- rent and once connected and set, it brings Observatory time direct to your home, Then there are the elec- trically wound clocks, handsome ones that keep on running for hours should the current be discontinued, Either style is a comfort and convenience that costs surprisingly little to run, The expense of operating is trivial; a small clock costs but a nominal amount 'a year for current, and the larger clock with chimes uses only a bit more electricity, Ls. right side.

This will not only keep the remainder of the house in better order with less work, but will give the children a chance to enjoy their winter toys undisturbed. hristmas is an ideal time to give the young- sters a place where they can keep things that are their very own and to give them the responsibility of hidden doubts, for it is time to pour in the batter, "Well begun is half done," and waffles properly cooked are not likely to be tough, and wusu- ally come out the desired color, Does it seem that it takes much longer for the water in your tea- kettle to come to a boil now that the kettle is old than when it was new?

If we remember to tie up the reason for entertaining with the re- freshments themselves, there will be wi have it pronounced an event, Have- n't you on occasions said, "We didn't do anything extraordinary different, but we did have such a good time?" If you will think back over such in- stances, you probably will find that there was an unusual harmony about them, This is easy to accomplish during the holiday season, when ac- tion is the keynote and everyone is in the spirit of joining in, One of the first events of the week at which people just naturally come together is that of trimming a Christ- mas tree, You may be grown up and away from your family and your re- latives, and even perhaps your friends, but you just feel it isn't Christmas unless you help to trim a tree, Then you seek out a school kindergarten, a Sunday school, a day nursery, and so forth, where you can be of help and in a crowd of busy people. . If you are in a home--that is, a real one, where there is a family--Christ- mas Eve, when the tree is trimmed, really starts the holiday festivities. The grown-ups set out seriously enough, but when through they think it time to celebrate by sitting down together to laugh and talk and re- fresh themselves. They must have nothing that savors of the Christmas Day goodies, but simple wholesome food that will prepare them for the rich heavy dishes and the dainty deli- cacies on hand for Christmas Day, The menu we have given for such an occasion may offer you some sugges- tions, Another ordinary occurrence is that of the first baby's first Christmas. So be simple in order not to spoil the zest for dinner, but at the same time it. must appease the hunger of a nor- mal appetite, and here are a few sug- gestions, For the group of young boys and girls home from school, or grown- ups who love to go out skating or bobsled riding on a cold winter even- ing, we must have a special menu, Just any of the rich cookies and cakes that happen to be on hand will not be what they need or what will taste best, They should have some- thing else in the way of a coarse- bread sandwich or some warm dish first, if the occasion is a special one --something along the line of the menu given, When it comes to children's parties the food can be decorative and fes- tive and yet follow all the precautions necessary to avoid dietary irregulari- ties, = A menu like the one below speaks for itself, The New Year's Eve dance always presents a problem, especially for the younger set who have hearty appe- tites and have gone through a week of strenuous activities and overeat- ing at irregular hours. Something appetizing yet somewhat light, and not a mixture of too many kinds of food, will suit them best, The simple but earefully planned combination suggested would serve well, In the later part of the holiday week, after chicken salad, hot rolls or biscuits and ice cream have served their turns on various menus, one gasps for less rich food that will leage him pleasantly satisfied, yet comfort- able and alert. So when you are planning a buffet supper to provide opportunity for all the visiting rela- tives to say their last adicus and best wishes before starting back to work, give them a pleasant surprise in let- ting them help themselves 'to some many young mothers have written us of the inadequacy of their equipment! to serve all the relatives a holiday | unusual foods and happy combina- tions.
