NOTES is also an economy, for many of the delicacies which we usually connect with Christmas have a way of becoming very expensive when bought ready prepared. Every housewife who Is worth her salt will have her plum puddings and mincemeat ready for "Stir up Sunday." In old-fashioned houses in England, on the last Sunday In Advent the mincemeat was solemnly carried round In lt jar, and everyone stirred It for luck, from the head of the house down to the youngest member of the household, so that they might all have their share In (he good luck of the coming year. As Christmas Is still such a time of entertaining, the store cupboard should be well looked after, and a supply of ready-prepared entrees laid In, so that the cook will have small dishes practically ready at hand, which she can fall back on In an emergency, when an extra dish or meal Is required at the shortest notice. To those who take an Interest In old time cookery the following recipes will prove Interesting. For Instance, In preparing a peacock for table, the skin had to be carefully removed with all the feathers and plumage complete, then roasted in the ordinary way, keeping It well baBted, and when cooked, and almost cold, it was put back Into Its skin again.

The people In days gone by, however, were not content with anything as ordinary as this, for the bird was stuffed with spices and herbs, basted with yolk of egg, and served with the richest and strongest of gravies, for which on Important occasions more than one whole sheep would he required, so that it Is hardly matter for wonder that It was considered an important dish.

This recipe ends by saying: these pies are often sent to London In a box as presents; therefore the walls' must be well The crust is made as follows: "Take a bushel of flour, and twenty-four pounds of butter boiled In four gallons of water, skim It off Into the flour, and as little of the liquor as you can; work It well up into a paste, -then pull it Into pieces till It Is cold, then make It up In what form you will have it." It Is hardly a matter for wonder after such a recipe as this that the table should have groaned under the weight of food put on it.

Fancy a housekeepers face in the present day who was asked to supply twenty-four pounds of butter for the pastry of one Pie! When one reads of dishes such as those quoted above, it explains why a mistress had seriously to consider and make Arrangements for her Christmas preparations in good time, for cookery of this order would be apt to take gome time. It Is difficult to imagine how much exercise would be necessary to work off the effects of these kind of gargantuan meals, and it also explains the fact our greatgrandfathers only required breakfast and dinner. president; Mrs. Malcolm McLean, secretary; Mrs. Griffith G.

Froebel Society Presents Art Programme.

At the meeting of the Froebel Society, held last Monday afternoon, at the Froebel Academy, Mrs. Elmer G. Sammis, presiding, the art committee, Mrs. T. D.

Hoxsey, chairman, had charge of a programme, varied in Its subjects, but possessing a fine unity, presenting beauty In three forms beauty in nature, beauty in art and spiritual beauty. Mrs. A. M. Yarrington's paper on "The Yellowstone Park" gave her impressions of that wonderland of natural beauty.

Beauty in art was set forth in Mrs. J. F. Winge-bach's paper on "The Place of Flowers In Architecture," In which she told of the Egyptian lotus, the Greek acanthus and the French fleur de lis. She commended the suggestion to make the mountain laurel our national flower, because of its peculiar adaptability to purposes of adornment in architecture and in interior furnishings.

The highest form of beauty, that of the humble, self-sacrificing spirit, as exemplified in the life of St. Francis of Assist, was suggested by Mrs. Charles Decker's talk on "A Twentieth Century Pilgrimage to ABsisl," in which she described h'T visit to the town made famous by the great saint. The programme was interspersed with songs by Mendelssohn, Schubert, Schumann and Wanner, sung fcy the Froebel chorus, under the leadership of Mrs. Stuart Close.

Theater Club Programme. At the meeting of the Theater Club, of which Mrs. J. Christopher Marks is president, next Tuesday, at the Hotel Astor, the following points are to be considered in five-minute papers: "The Philosophy of by Mrs. Wood-alien Chapman; "The Philosophy of Burns," by Dr.

Combining two household conveniences PLANNING YEAR AHEAD FOR HOME MISSION WORK At this early date the Home Missions Council, and its auxiliary, the Council of Women for Home Missions, announce a Home Mission Week, and set the date for November 17 to 24, 1912. They urge that nothing interfere with a presentation throughout the country of the scope, problems and claims of home missions. Work has been ordered on the preparation of data, especially relating to conditions in the home mission territory west of the Missouri Riveer and throughout the South. The move Is made by the home missionary societies of all religious bodies, which three years ago formed a Home Missions Council on the lines of the earlier Conference of Foreign Missions of the United States and Canada. It was brought into new life in its own defense when the Laymen's Missionary Movement thrice refused its appeal either to Include both home and foreign missions or else put the word foreign into Its name.

When it refused to do either home missionary interests got down to work In their own behalf. Co-operating with the Federal Council, they have lately made a most comprehensive Btudy of conditions In the Rocky Mountain and Pacific Coast fields. The Council of Women is composed of the women who make up the auxiliaries to the home mission boards, and they represent these societies or auxiliaries. They are the same for home mission as the Women's Jubilee for foreign, which held the series of conventions last year, and are continuing their work in and completing the $1,000,000 jubilee fund. Both councils promise plans at an early date for the Home Mission Week.
