Young turkeys have smooth black legs. but when the bird Is old they are rough and reddish. If the bird has been long killed its eyes will be sunken and its feet dry. For roasting buy a hen turkey, with a whitish skin that is clean and soft. the breast broad. the legs black and t the neck short. The flesh of an old hen is usually covered with long hairs. t and the housewife will be wise to re ject any such birds if she wants a sat isfactory dinner. The spurs of a young cock turkey should be short and Its , legs black. With Oyster Sauce. One of the most popular ways u, c serving ro:ast turkey is with oyster sauce. Put the turkey on to parboil in water enough to make gravy and dress Ing. When tender lift out and lay in the roaster. Have bread broken up ready to make dressing, one-fourth ot which is cold corn bread. Add six hard boiled eggs chopped, two raw eggs well beaten, one onion cut fine, a little sage pepper and salt. Then add one pint of fresh oysters and stir all together. Pour enough liquor over to make moist and mix welL Then stuff the turkey and put in the oven to bake. Take liquor for the gravy, with one-third milk. Mince the heart, liver and gizzard. Add these to the liquor. Mix enough flour with milk to make a smooth paste, pour in and let boll until thick. Chestnut Sauce. One of the most delicious ways of serving turkey is with a dressing of TOOT4SOME FARLE. Clam Bouillon. Toast. Roast Turkey With Dressing. Cranberry Sauce Pickles Olives. Macaroni With Tomato Sauce. Sweet Potatoes. Creamed Onlons Mashed Potatoes. Plum Pudding. Apple Piea. Mince Pia Cake Candy. Coffee. chestnuts. This dressing is made by combining dry bread, butter, salt and pepper, one very small onion, an equal quantity of celery, a little parsley, a pinch of sage and one pound of chest nuts. The chestnuts must be shelled and scalded to remove the inner skin Add to the whole one well beaten egg and enough water to make it moist After the turkey is stuffed stick an apple in the crop. The juice will keep .he turkey moist If you do not use the turkey giblets In the stuffing cut them rather fine I after they are roasted and introduce them into the gtavy. without which no turkey dinner is complete. Be careful not to leave much fat in the pan when the gravy is made or It will be strong and unpalatable. Serve It hot in a gravy boat Served With Sausage Most. Some persons are fond of turkey with a dressing of sausage meet For this take six ouncis each of lean and fat pork, both to be weighed after chopping: two ounces of breaderambe. two leaves of finely minced sage, a small blade of p6unded mace, salt and pepper to taste. Bind with an egg. Equal quantlties of this forcemet and veal stuffing are nice, as the herbe and lemon peel in the veal stunfng give a delicious flavor to the sauage meat Larded Turkey. If you wish to serve larded turkey get a nice fresh young fowL Remove all plnfeathers and wash thoroughly Inside and out ii the skin of the bird seems soiled put a pinch of bicarbonate in the water, rinsing this off. 8tuff as usual with the inside of a loaf of stale white bread, mixed with a lamp of butter the size of an egg and seasoned with salt, pepper and summer savory. Do not wet the bread or the stafing wil be sogg and the turkey taste )poiled Truss in the usual manner and then lay four thin slices of salt pork over the breast of the bird. During the cooking baste often so that the pork fat will permeate all the bird. This tIs oan excelklt way to prepare a turkey of the second chlass sort The pork supplies the lacking flavor. A bai dosen fresh country sausages may also be added to the bread filling if forther richbnes is desired. THE YULETIDE FEAST. Oysters Celery. Hothouse Radishea. OUve.

Indeed, the early shoppers get all the good things, including good service. Di For when the clerks are tired and rushed O0 d they cannot give good service. They are a worn out, and the goods are pretty well worn out or bought out, which amounts to the same thing. The only way to get the best of the Christmas shopping mob is to head them off-go first-beat them to it The market is full of attractive dolls ' when the season opens, and the shopgtrls are glad to show them.

Tradition has much to do with the partiality to a pudding of this sort for Christmas, and, l hether It is handed in by a neat ntald in cap and apron,. y a stately butler in livery or by lh' unpretentious housewife herself. It should not appear on the table until it is time to serve it Place the pudding on a generous plat ter, decorate it with bits of holly and dress with a good sauce, which should be in a separate dish. As the pudding improves with nge. It may. like fruit cake, be prepared in advance. To keep it fresh until Christmans wrap in oiled paper and keep In a tin which has a tight fitting lid. Then the pudding need only be warmed up when sent to the table. How to Make the Pudding. If you intend to make a boiled pud ding see that all molds and basins re quired are perfectly dry before grens ing them and then use good butter for the purpose. Take care that the molds are filled to the top with the mixture and that it is pressed well down. Have clean pudding cloths. Dip them in boiling water and flour them before tying over and allow for swelling. Let the water be bubbling violently before putting the molds in it. See that the water covers them. As it evaporates in boiling add more boiling water so as not to check the cooking, which must go on steadily all the time. Plum puddings properly made and boiled will keep at least a year if hung in a cool, dry place. When Baking the Pudding. If you prefer to bake the pudding take one and a half cupfuls of beef suet free from skin and chopped fine. one and a half cupfuls of raisins stoned, one and a half cupfuls of cur rants which have been washed and picked over, one cupful of brown sug ar, two cupfuls of flour, one teaspoon. ful of baking powder, four eggs, one cupful of milk, half a cupful of citron cut in very small pieces, a pinch of salt, half a grated nutmeg and one glassful of orange Juice. Put all these ingredients in a deep bowl, adding the eggs just as they drop from the shell, four and baking powder sifted together and, lastly, the orange juice. Mix into a batter which should be very short Pour into cake tine which have been liberally buttered and bake in a steady, even oven for two hours. Serve with a lemon or vanilla sauce English Plum Pudding. For a rich old fashioned plum pud ding take eight eggs, one pound of best butter, one pound of dflour, one pound of currants, one pound of seeded raisins, one pound of sliced citron, one pint of milk. a small loaf of bread, half a teaspoonful of ground mace, half a teaspoonful of cinnamon and a pinch of salt Break the bread in small pleces and crumble It in the milk, add the beaten eggs, the creamed butter, then the fruit well floured. Grease a cloth, put a large plate in the middle of it and heap the pudding on the plate. Then tie it up securely, but leave plenty of room for the pudding to swell. Boll for three hours, adding more water from time to time if necessary. Serve with a sauce of butter, cream ed with sugar and flavored with nut meg and lemon juice. When ready to serve stick almonds all over the pud ding, firat blanching the almonds. Make a little hole In the top of the podding and poor half a pint of brandy over it and serve blasing. A Cheap Pudding. - What could be more economical than this pudding. Mix together one and a half cupfuls of flour, one cupful of brown sugar, one cupful of grated suet. one cupful of seeded raisins, one cup ful of cleaned carrants or chopped prunes, one capful of grated carrot, Sone cupfl of grated potato, one-'quar I ter of a cpful of minced orange peel. nutmeg, cinnamon and clove to taste.
