A SACRED RECITAL BY TWO VOCALISTS Miss Jeanne Chown and Miss Irene Wynne Delighted a Large Audience. Miss Jeanne. Chown and Miss Irene Wynne, in a sacred vocal re- cital, held in Sydenham street church on Saturday aftermoon, attract®d an excellent attendance of the music lovers of Kingston. The recital was under the auspices of the ladies' as- sociation of the church. Often has Miss Chown been heard with delight by Kingston audiences, but her rich, deep contralto has no- ticeably improved since her last ap- pearance here, and many congratu- latory remarks were heard as fhe audience was dispersing. Miss Wynne, who is now a resident of this city, is a distinct acquisition to Kingston's musical talent. She pos- sesses a fine, clear soprano voice, and uses it with a high degree of skill. | Miss: Chown Bang seven numbers, and her programme was so vdried that it would be difficult to say In which she excelled. "O Thou That Tellest," and "He: Shall Feed His Flock," from the "Messiah" (Han- del) gave some idea of her remark- able ability in adling heavy ora- torio. From a standpoint, the recital was a decided sue~ cess. Mr. Hafry K. Hill accompanied at the pipe organ, and during the af- ternoon he played ""Minuette (Boch- erini) as an organ solo, The pro- gramme was as follows: Contralto solos: O Thou That Tei- lest "Messiah" Handel; He Shall Mr. and ow. L r Bedore, Syrad) Feed His Flock, "Messiah" Hainiflel; soprano solo, Come Unto Him, "Mes- siah" Handel; contralto solo, The 'Lord's Prayer, Austin-Ball; soprano solo, Hear Ye Israel, "Elijah? Men- delssohn; contralto solos: No Candle Was There and No Fire, Lehmann; The Fulfillment, Maunder; The Lord is My Shepherd, Austin-Ball; O Rest in the Lord, "Elijah" Mendelssohn, The Editor Hears That in many churches the dear old Christmas carols were sung on Sunday and brought home in their simple way the meaning of 'the great festival of the Incarnation we have been celebrating, a message that should influence our New Year's re- solutiotis so soon to 'be formed. It eyeryone made a resolution to keep that very fine thing we call "The Christmas Spirit" alive during the coming year, what a fine world we would live in.

That all the people who were say- ing doleful things last week about the certainty of a green Christmas making a full éhurchyard and de- claring that Santa Claus could not come unless he had snow for his sleigh and his. reindeer, were plea santly surprised.

Apple Sauce Cereal Cream Dried Beef Pop Overs Luncheon Baked Macaroni and Cheese Celery Jam Dinner. Lamb Chops Rolls Tea ) Carrots Vegetable Salad Prune Whip Coffee Planning the New Year's Dinner. After serving turkey or chicken for Christmas, few families care for it again in the New Year's dinner. Duck is a great New! Year's favorite, although Virgina baked ham and stuffed shoulder of pork are per- haps. equally popular. I am not go- ing to give directions for cooking the Virgina baked ham today, as! that recipe appeared in this column November 30. (It you failed to clip it out, and wish fit, buy a back | copy of this paper, or copy-it by hand from the back newspaper files in our circulation department). This is how to roast the pork: Roast Stuffed Shoulder of Pork: Order a. shoulder of pork boned. Stuff the opening with a well-seas- oned bread dressing and skewer or sew it in place. Then score the skin for carving and sprinkle with salt, pepper and flour. Place the meat in a largé pan in a medium hot oven and roast till tender, allow- ing 26 minutes to the pound (gen- erally at least three hours). When done place the shoulder on a plat- ter and pour off the yellowish fat from the pan liquor. Add two cups of boiling water to the darked part of the liquor left now in the pan, let boil up a moment or two over intense heat, stirring well, and then thicken "this gravy with one half cup of flour mixed to a paste with a little cold water. Season to suit 'taste with salt, strain, and serve in a gravy boat. -Duchess Potatoes: Beat three cups of hot, mashed potatoes well, and add to them two tablespoons of but- ter and | two stiffly beaten egg whites. Whip in enough hot, sweet milk to keep the mixture from being too stiff (about three-fourths of a cup of the milk), then heap lightly on a pan and slip it into a hot oven for a few minutes to brown. Serve very hot. Bread-Cheese Finger Sandwiches: Toasted crackers, bread sticks or dainty little sandwiches are now ser- ved with the salad course. The bread-chéese sandwiches are made _| a8 follows: Mash one cream cheese, moisten it with French dressing till the consistency to spread thinly, then spread it on thinly-cut slices of graham bread; before putting two of these slices together, sprinkle TOO FRUGAL SEASONS GREETINGS We have some beautiful Electric Table Lamps and will sell them at a greatly reduc- ed price.
