' I Happy Day j Yule Wreaths Easy to Make 7 This year, the home wreath maker can use a bit of ingenuity and concoct perhaps handsomer wreaths than ever. Wire is scarce, so unless last year's wire frame was saved, a substitute will be needed. Some people twist two or more small, tough switches from hazel, maple or dogwood. They use this, bound with moss, as a base for the holly or evergreen wreath. A wire coat hanger, bent to circular shape, is good for a wreath, and has the merit of being universally obtainable. The evergreens or holly to be used for making the wreath should be cut into short lengths, longer for a large wreath, shorter for one of small diameter, but about six inches the general length. The short sections are gathered into little bunches and wired onto the wire foundation. Strong green cord can be used to fasten them on, too, wrapping it over and over around the frame. Small wire is better if obtainable. Another way of making a wreath is to wire each small bunch of the fireens onto a toothpick, then stick d these into the framework. But for this method there must be a framework an inch or two broad instead of a single wire V, v AMONG the things for which k Uncle Sam is to be congratulated, for he has done and is doing a magnificent job.

RICHARDSON, MGR. e A shepherd's pie is a dish. It originated in the Balkans. The Balkan shepherds probably learned of the dish from a still older land because it is known that 1 M. LUNT, Prop. -- 19 I I shepherds have lived among their flocks since the dim ages. They ate their meals far from their homes or villages, cooking them on the spot. There was only a crude fire and generally but one dish in which to cook the entire meaL Although it is primitive and simple, a shepherd's pie is a wholesome and delicious meal in one dish. In bis kettle, the shepherd boils his rice and saves what he does not eat immediately. For a later meal, he first takes bits of lamb and with slices of onion, places this upon a skewer and browns the meat and onion over a bed of coals. Then he greases the inside of his dish and covers the bottom with a half-incrice. Over layer of left-ovthe rice he slices a tomato. If he has a green pepper, thin slices of pepper are added. Some of the meat and onion are added for another layer. Then salt and pepper, more rice and the rest of the meat And and tomatoes and peppers. finally a top layer of rice. Last of all, he pours over the mixture enough broth, or hot water if there is no broth, to about reach the top of the pie. Bake for of an hour in a medium oven. When the top is browned, the pie is ready to eat. The modern housewife can follow the same recipe, only she can cook the meat and the onion in a frying pan and use canned tomatoes if she prefers. The pie will bake even better in a good oven at about 450 degrees. The family casserole is a handy dish in which to make the lamb pie.
