TOMORROW'S MENU Breakfast Scrambled Eggs Coffee Luncheon Baked Rice and Cheese Lettuce Salad Rolls Jam Tea Dinner Tomato Bisque Corned Beef with Boiled Potatoes and Beets Cold Slaw Steamed Date Pudding Hard Sauce Coffee Planning the Christmas Dinner. The experienced housewife will not feel the need of help in planning the Christmas Dinner but perhaps the bride will find ¢he following sug- gestions useful: Menu: Celery, ONves, Chicken Consonfme, Roast Goose with Potato Stufftlg, Mashed White Potatoes, Glazed Sweet Potatoes, Cauliflower, Pudding, Mince and Pumpkin Piles, and Coffee. (If desired the onions or the caulifiower may be omitted.) Roast Goose: Singe, remove pin- feathers, then scrub the gbose in hot soapsuds. Draw (that is, remove in- slde contents) and wash in cold water, wiping carefully. Now stuff, truss, sprinkle with pepper and salt and lay eight slices of salt pork (thinly cut) over the breast. Put the bird on the rack in your drip- ping pan, slip the pan into a hot oven,'and roast for two hours, bast- ing every 15 minutes with the fat in the pan. During the last half hour of cooking remove the pork slices. Place the cooked goose on a platter cut the string and remove it, and the skewers, and serve. . Potato Stuffing for Goose: Mash ten hot boiled potatoes and add one- third cup of melted butter, one cup of rich sweet top milk or thin cream, | three beaten eggs, and three med- | fum-size raw onions finely chopped. Beat this mixture for several min- utes, then season with one. teaspoon of salt and a generous pinch of pep- per and beat again, before using it to stuff the bird. " Plum Pudding: This should be | made well in advance of Christmas, but young housekeepers who have neglected to do so still have time to make it although it will not be as well seasoned as if it were older. Put heel suet through your food chopper, then measure; you will need one cupful, well packed down. Turn suet into @ bow! and stir with a fork till lightly separated, then add to ft two and two-thirds cups of stale white bread crumbs and the yolks of four eggs, which have been whipped with one and one-fourth cups of brown sugar, Also add one tablespoon of vinegar, the grated rind of one lemon, and the follow- ing fruits mixed together: One cup. of raisins seeded and. cut In bits, three-fourths of a cup of dried cur- rants, and one cup of grated raw carrot; dredge these with one-third cup of flour to which you have prev- {ously added one teaspoon of cinna- mon, one-half teaspoon of grated nutmeg, a generous pinch of ground clove, and one teaspoon of salt. Last, fold four stifiy-whipped egg whites into the pudding, turn all into a| buttered mould, cover and sidk the mould in . boiling water for four hours. Tomorrow----Answered Letters.

March J.--(@he, following are three of the verses from a nine stanza poem written specially for the Whig by one Edward A. Darbey, of Paper Mill Village, New Hamp- shire.) We Are Going Down to the Silent Grave. As you eit by my side, my.gentle .one, With your .mine, A feeling of joy pervades my heart, And I know it is divine. As your fair soft cheek on my shoul- der lies, And you gently heave a sigh, I know that your gpirit is happy the while, For joy gleams out from your eye. warm hand laid in But listen, my love, the joy that is ours, As quickly will pass away, As the fregrant breath of the beau- titul flowers That garnish the virgin May. One by one these pleasures will fade, And our : hearts will soon grow old; And » joys of to-day will all be d, In the churchyard drear and cold, We are jourpeying down to the eil- . ent grave, And our pace is solemn and slow But we'll cheer each other, as hand in hand, O'er the rugged way we go. We will not repine when we see de- part . > The pleasures that have been ours, But rejoice whether thotns encum- ber the ground, : Or our path is strewed with | flowers, = Remember the General Hospital at Christmas time.
