It must, first of all, be well selected, a delicately flavored stuffing for the roast chicken and turkey, a more strongly flavored one for the roast goose or duck, writes Helen Robertson in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Second, it must be perfectly seasoned. Not too strongly to overwhelm the deliciousness of the bird, nor yet so bland in taste as to be uninteresting. Third, it must be of the proper consistency, not too moist, nor yet too dry. And fourth, there must be enough. Bread being the usual foundation of the dressing, let us talk of it first.

Of the few round dances the waltz was, of course, the most popular and when the older men participated in it we boys were amused at their manner of dancing. At that period it seemed that the fashion in waltzing was changing from a high step on the third count to what soon after became a true waltz glide. The previous generation had learned to take shorter steps and on the third count to raise As ever, faithfully, FRANK BENNETT. :.Says:= A cup of grated cheese added to t h e w h i t e s a u c e s e r v e d w i t h creamed cauliflower improves its flflVOr« *- -T- : Allow three-fourths of a pound of turkey for each person, A fifteenpound turkey will serve twenty people generously.

Some good hauls have geen made during the past two weeks. three-fourths to two po drifts of bread may be used. And for the smaller bird, one pound and under should be sufficient. Celery, oysters, - mushrooms, chestnuts, the other ingredients you will use are of course dependent" upon your own personal tastes and upon the bird you are serving. Here is a basic recipe for dressing for the twelve to fifteen-pound bird. Bread Dressings .8 qts. ttalc bread cubes Pa«e to ta*t< 2 tbsp. salt 1 ciip melted biittef 1 tsp. pepper jf ctr>s c!m*>ped cclcry 1 tbsp. chopped par%y Cooked giblets Prepare bread, sprinkle with seai sonings. Pour over them melted butter and enough boiling watep or stock from cooking giblets and neck to moisten. In adding butter and stock, toss the ingredients together lightly with a fork. Never press them together. If you like onion in dressing, saute one or two slices in a portion of thie butter before adding it to the dress- , ing. For oyster dressing omit giblets, add,one pint of oysters cut in half and the oyster liquor, well strained. To make mushroom dressing saute one-half pound mushrooms, sliced, in a portion of the butter and mix with bread crumbs. In using the mushrooms celery may be omitted or a smaller amount used. Chestnut dressing'is usually liked. To make it, prepare one-half pound chestnuts, chopping them rather fine. Mix with bread. Sausage dressing is another favorite. One-half pound is sufficient for this amount. Cook it over a low fire fifteen minutes before adding to the dressing. For the roast duck or goose you will find this rice and prune stuffing tasty: Brdwn three tablespoons of finely minced onion in two tablespoons butter. Add one cup well washed, drained rice. Let simmer until rice is slightly browned. Then add four cups soup stock or water in which bouillon cubes have been dissolved, eight or nine cooked prunes, pitted, and one teaspoon salt. Cook over a very low fire or over hot water until rice is tender. Season well.

Cold biscuits, pieces of corn bread, slices of toast, slices of whole wheat and of rye may all be used. Use part crust too, as well as the crumb. The bread should be dry and if part or all is lightly toasted, so much the better. And bread cut into small cubes makes better dressing than when crumbed. For the very large turkey, upw a r d of e i g h t e e n or n i n e t e e n pounds, two and one-half to three pounds of bread will be needed for .the dressing, while for the smaller bird of around ten pounds, one and URGED THANKSGIVING 'TRADITION has it that a woman was responsible for establishing the modern Thanksgiving day on the last Thursday of November. According to that story, President Lincoln issued his proclamation in answer to urgent- pleas from Sarah J. Hale, editor of Godey's Lady's Book. "That Yankee Holiday" President Andrew Jackson refused to give Thanksgiving day the customary presidential sanction because he would have nothing to do with "that Yankee holiday."
