Many Uses for Tangerines And Oranges By Edith M. Barber IN olden days, the Christmas celebration began a day or two before Dee, 25, the feasting went on until Twelfth Night which is Jan. 6. Nowadays, we celebrate Christmas and New Year's in style and let it go at that Perhaps, however, we will continue to enjoy some of the foods which came to us as tokens of remembrance. This will certainly be true if you were lucky enough to have a box or a crate of citrus fruits.

Orange juice has many uses as a flavoring, both for dessert rnd for a number of meat dishes. One of the simplest and most popular desserts is an orange pudding for which the fresh fruit is sectioned, drenched with a soft custard and topped with a meringue. Then, there is our favorite chiffon pie in which either whipped evaporated milk or cream may be used. Most of the grapefruit will be served in the shell after it is chilled. It should be sectioned, of course, so that it will be easy to eat We may broil the halves occasionally for use either as a maturity of viewpoint This applies especially to "DEVIL IN THE FLESH" C'Le Diable au opening tomorrow at the ART THEATER.

The film, in a script by Jean Aurenche and Pierre Boat, who did "Symphonie Pastorale," transfers these qualities intact, although the background is expanded to show more vividly the atmosphere of war and carnage in which the affair took place. There are censors and would-be censors who have decried the film for its compassionate attitude towards the lovers; its tenderness and its pity. But, though there are a couple cf Intimate scenes executed with good taste and finesse, there is nothing immoral about the film, in my opinion. It underscores its moral with subtle irony as it shows the love destroying the lovers themselves the torturing jealousy, the nagging of conscience, the self-inflicted cruelties, consuming bitterness.

Indecision and frustration. The young woman's death in childbirth, here made theatrically to coincide with the joy of the armistice which to the paramours has meant the return of the husband and the end of the affair, is an inexorable tragic climax to the doom already certain for the lovers. It is an acutely penetrating exploration of human feeling, a fine, poignant and beautiful film. Claude Autant Lara has directed the film with delicacy, perception and wisdom and given it a rich mood and color of background. It has been extraordinarily well acted.

As the boy of 17, Gerard Philipe, possessed of a sensitive, tragic face, gives a deep and burning performance. As the woman, Micheline Prelle (formerly Presle) who has since done less distinguished work in Hollywood, is soft, tender and bewildered by the tempest of emotion which has overcome her. "jean Debucourt makes the sympathetic, troubled father of the boy, who is unable to steer him clear of the tragedy, equally as impressive. This is about as far as you can get, certainly, from the Andy Hardy puppy-love tale, which is nearest being typical of the Hollywood approach to awakening adolescent passion. And that, come to think of it, should be something of a recommendation in itself.

Gorgeous Scenery, Including Esther There are some lovely opalescent views of the Hawaiian Isle of Kauai (doubling for Tahiti), and some equally gorgeous ones of a tanned Esther Williams in sarongs and swim suits in "PAGAN LOVE SONG" at LOEW'S STATE, so. as the ad melds included both queens and sevens, as well as tens; he was hoping to draw a card that would play on his own melds and let him discard the queen and go out by adding the deuce to his pair of tens. So he insisted that be was allowed to refuse the seven and take the other card. But the opponents cited the law, which gives him only the right to shuffle the remaining cards. So they made AN ETCHING OF OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES HANGS IN THE UV.

SOMEONE who doesn't like to play with sticklers for the technicalities has called them "Canasties." While we appreciate the pun, we're all for law and order. We've seen too much argument in games where there were no laws. However, sometimes the laws aren't sufficiently specific to prevent disagreement. Here's such a situation.

It happened in Cincinnati, with this hand: the producer said, 'is a young That. was all I needed to hear From that moment on, I was a character actor." Few actors can match this series of roles, played by Calhern in the past sixteen months in Hollywood: A Russian colonel, a criminal lawyer, Buffalo-Bill, a bandleader, a western villian, a friend of the hero, a song-and-dance man, Oliver Wendell Holmes. That seems versatile enough, but what with Holmes and Lear in rapid succession, we wondered if Calhern wasn't getting laden with dignity. "Dignity? Why, I'll have you know I was once-a third-rate burlesque comedian! Didn't find that in your research, did you? That's because no press agent wanted to include it in the Playbill biography. Can't imagine why not here I've gone from paying five dollars to professional plagiarists for the latest Weber and Fields acts, to a King and a Supreme Court Justice.

Nobody was more in the American tradition than Justice Holmes, and as soon as he assumed the role in the original stage production, Calhern found himself identified strongly with "The Magnifcent "We opened in Washington, with half the Cabinet there in front of all the people who actually knew I knew it went all right because the next day, I began getting invitations to groups of lawyers and law professors.

TM AFRAID MY ANSWER isn't going to make him feel any happier, but I see no reason for trying to go beyond the letter of the law in this situation. The law was designed to protect the next player from the disadvantage of having his opponents know what he had drawn.

It gave him the additional advantage of permitting him to take the card knowingly if he wished to. But it did not guarantee that, after the recom--mended shuffle, he wouldn't get ble through a speech.

"We began to chat on a pretty high intellectual level, when an old friend of mine burst into the room. 'Looie, you ol buzzard! he yelled. He was an old guy I'd played with in burlesque out in the sticks, and we had a fine tune reminiscing for a few minutes. I'd ripped off my big white wig, and gotten half my mustache off and left it dangling while I scraped some of the old age off my face.

This is almost impossible for us to understand because we are conscious of our own good intentions. But the fact remains the Chinese do not believe what we say and do not trust us. This seems incredible after the years of friendship that have existed between us and after good will we have had toward China. But we have to accept the fact that having supported Chiang, the present regime has no use for us and the great majority of the people probably believe whatever their leaders have told them.

All bushes should be at least 18 inches away from the house woodwork. If they are any closer, termites will find a way to get from the bush to the house.

GEORGE SOKOLSKY said on my television program last Sunday that the Chinese army now fighting in Korea was an army that once had faced Chiang's army in Hainan, and I gather that he felt this army would not have been moved if Chiang's forces had been allowed to land in China. That would have required transportation, which would have had to be available to Chiang by the United States or the United Nations. If I remember rightly, we decided to try to prevent attacks on the-Nationalists and attacks by the Nationalists on the mainland of China, largely because we were anxious to keep our passageway clear and unmolested from Japan to Korea.
