familiar voices of those who link our glorious EMPIRE .starting with the voice of HM.THE KING, wishing the joyful tidings to his people, and later in the day we hear Dickens\u2019 Christmas Carol,

the vineyard districts.Wine is a living organism, and like every other living thing, it has a cycle of life.It has its infancy, it burgeons gradually into maturity, it continues for a time at its best, and then, like other beings, declines slowly or rapidiy into decay.All wines are made from the juice of either white or red grapes or occasionally from a combination of both.For example, Sherry is always made from white grapes whereas Red Port is made from red grapes and White Port from white grapes.Champagne on the other hand, is often made .from a combination of the juice of both.By this time many of you have made your Christmas cake, while others, like myself, will be dashing something up at the last moment.Here is my recipe, and 1 hope you like it.RICH WINE CAKE: 1; cup butter, 1 cup sugar, 2 eggs, 1 tablespoon molasses, 12 cup cold coffee, 1% cup flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 13.teaspoon cinnamon, 1, teaspoon clove, 3 teaspoon mace, 14 teaspoon all-spice, 12 cup raisins, 4 cup currants, 2 tablespoons citron, 2 tablespoons Hamilton's Selected Port.Christmas week means Carol singing in our home and it is an event which calls for Swedish Glogg.In the traditional manner, is assembled a Copper Kettle, a wire grill, a long- MERRY CHRISTMAS handled ladle, and the following: 1 bottle Monnet .Brandy, 2 bottles Groot Constantia Claret, 2 bottles Hamilton's Selected Port, 25

sticks and cloves in a cheese-cloth bag and boil slowly in wine for 15 minutes.Add almonds, raisins and boil another 15 minutes.Remove from stove, place wire grill over kettle with sugar on top, and

minute \u201cpurchase that we have for- C S æ æ L gotten.Yester day when I Gift { dropped into the C.S.L.Gift Shop, 1480 Sherbrooke St.W.I heard some of the ladies asking for gifts that would be suitable to fill the Christmas stockings with, and thought that you too might be wondering what to put in the \u201csocks\u201d.Here are a few items that are always welcome.One never seems to have enough hankies, especially the children; you will find some Irish linen and Swiss lawn ones for 50c.And then an idea for DAD'S sock, a handy key ring attached to a small cylindrical shaped flash light, small enough for one\u2019s pocket, in different colors, for $1.50 .and don't forget that \u201cTHE SHOP\u201d carries crepe stockings, all sizes, for $1.25.With the colder weather coming, it is nice to have an odd pair.For Junior's sock, I can hear his delight when he finds a box of Sucre à la Crème.This delicious candy has been made from an old French-Canadian recipe; years ago French-Canadians would not eat maple syrup without cream, hence the name.This is $1.50 lb.« + « There are still some hand-woven beanies left, for 50c; a little girl would like one of these.Just to add a little more noise to the - Christmas morning rejoicing, how about a hand- carved bird whistle?These are very well made, for $1.00., .Another idea is the SEA FIRE powder to sprinkle over the logs in the fireplace, which produces beautiful colored flames, a large tin for 65c.* % * MAKE THE CHRISTMAS WREATH ON.YOUR FRONT DOOR SOUND, AS WELL AS LOOK, CHRISTMASY by stringing a few small bells on

is bound to find the unusua in, gifts, so that when a present is received with thé stamp of this specialty, shop, one.can be assured that confidence and good taste has been shown by the giver.At the present time there are many beaiitiful \"inexpensive objects from China to be found here, such as enamel cigarette boxes with lovely landscape \"scenes done in deep blues and reds, for $2.85.Those, who prize Cloisonne ware should see the \u201cbox with a cream floral design, for $3.00, or a four piece smoking set for $9.65.On the mantelpiece were many different Chinese male figures made of pottery, small sizes at 85c, and larger ones for $3.00; there must have been at least thirty of these figures, and not two were alike, all having .the most expressive faces.There is an out of the ordinary candle holder with snuffer, made of wrought iron, set in a saucer large enough to be used for a pipe tray, for $5.00.I was amused at the china Ivy holder in the shape of a fish with its mouth open, oniy $1.00.I'm wandering back to Chinese ware again, but thought someone might be interested in the carved, bon-bon dish, with the word PEIPING written across the cover, this is $7.00.Here i# an odd holder for cigarettes, or it could be used as an ash tray, it is an old fashioned coal bucket of wrought iron, for $1.85.The hand painted wooden coasters for 60c each make very acceptable gifts, as also a copper silent butler with a wooden handle for $1.50.As you can see there are many attractive gifts to he had in this exclusive gift shop, articles that cannot be .bought elsewhere.All out of

scissors \u201cin the manner of a sculpture tool\u201d to carve designs from paper rather than stone, Katharine de Tyroff of New York City has cut out for herself a career which is only beginning to disclose its possibilities.As a designer of wallpaper, dress and drapery fabrics and other items demanding her attention as her work becomes known, Mrs.de Tyroff does all her designing with fine embroidery scissors and ordinary drawing paper.She literally cuts out her designs, achieving in this way certain clear-cut lines which she believes are obtainable in no other way.Her firèt designs, for hand- screened wallpaper, were white, mounted on plain colored backgrounds.Monotones still prevail in her walipapers, but some of the designs for dress fabrics have as many as five colors.\u201cWhy, it's just lke cutting paper dolls,\u201d people sometimes exclaim after watching Mrs.de Ty- rtoff work.It is \u2014 and at the same time it isn\u2019t, as anyone who examines the intricate patterns | will quickly recognize.The spontaneity and freshness of her work doubtless are due to her feeling of utter freedom.She always starts with a definite idea, supported by an innate sense of | composition, but she feels bound ||\u2019 by no set pattern.She cuts into paper swiftly, with no indecision, exactly as if she couldn't wait to see what her scissors were devising.Sometimes she makes a few \u2018| preliminary lines in pencil, but \u2018| rarely follows them exactly.Merchandise mentioned in \u2018Gerry's Chatter Column\u2019 _is available at all Drug and D epartmental

America and Africa.The Budgerigar is a small, long - tailed parrot, bred chiefly in England and now extensively in Canada.It is rapidly gaining popularity as a pet and breeders have become so expert that they have developed many new strains having brilliant colours, the nlost sought after types being blues, cobalts, greens, mauves and yellows.Regardless of the fact that the Budgerigar is not a singing bird, it is a most desirable pet, very easy to look after, is seldom ill and its amusing antics and talking propensities make it a most entertaining companion.The usual canary seed mixtures are - not suitable for these birds.The ideal diet for them is BROCK'S BUDGERIGAR FOOD together with plenty of BROCK'S BIRD GRAVEL and a cuttle bone in the cage at all times.Budgerigars are imitative birds and it is not a difficult matter to teach them to talk, Male birds are the better pupils although talking hen Budgies are not by any means unknown.In \u2018BROCK'S BOOK ON BIRDS, there is a very instructive chapter on the Budgerigar, about the breeding of these birds, and on how to teach them to talk.I will be only too pleased to forward this book upon request, and all that is needed, is to send me & hox top of BROCK'S BIRD SEED or BROCK'S BUDGERIGAR FOOD, or twenty- five cents, care of Gerry's Chatter Column, 4087 : Hampton Ave, N.D.G., and you will receive this valuable booklet by

however, she went to Art School in Zurich instead and later went to Paris for further study.In these years she learned designing with a thorough grounding in the fundamentals.In 1929 she entered an International Designing: Contest in Paris and won the highest honour, the French designer's gold medal For this contest she submitted four dresses in jersey material.This maferial has always been the favorite medium with which she works.Within the first couple -of years after establishing herself in the Montreal designing world, Madame Yvel was instrumental in starting a fashion trend.She began using pastel colors for winter clothes, something quite unheard of before.This idea has since become an accepted vogue.Madame Yvel designs her own prints.Inspiration comes easily when she is surrounded with a working table cluttered with materials and fabrics.She transmits her ideas to paper and works in black and whites, keeping the colors in her head.She sreates her ewn original designs although she adheres closely to the Paris fashion trends; adapting the more extreme styles to the Canadian way of life.To quote Madame ¥wel, \u201cI never design dresses with definite accessories In mind; when I create I want the gown to speak for itself.I like to work either with prints or plain materials.\u201d Last summer, Madame Yvel revisited Paris and Switzerland going back to the many familiar land marks.She has returned to Canada firraly enthusiastic about the radical changes in fashion , of Madame Yvel \u2014 trends which she believes are con- clugive.In fact, she maintains that a change will soon be evident in other branches of designing, such as furniture and interior decor, which will be created to more readily complement the new feminine trends.Madame Yvel's well-rounded life encompasses much more than fashion designing.She has two daughters both artistically inclined.For her eldest daughter, who was recently married, she designed the entire ensemble for her story-book wedding, centering around a spectacular wedding gown of Brussels lace.Madame Yvel's taste in books stems back to her eariy interest in medicine \u2014 she is interested in psychological reading matter and she seldom reads fiction.Her taste in music is diverse and she does not specifically adhere to the classical.This talented woman has very classically proved that a career and marriage can be happily mixed.She admits, however, that it does sacrifice the children to a certain extent.She said with real contentment in her voice, *\u201cal- | board and knead 30 seconds.Ginger Apricot Sauce \u2018114 cups dried apricots 2 cups water 2 3% cup sugar ° © Thé _% teaspoon ginger - tre, 15 1 teaspoon lemon juice ompli Wash the apricots, drain them the er and then let them soak in the two \"curbing cups of water overnight.Add the .that d sugar, ginger and lemon juice, | Pattee Cook until tender.Replenish the .Ë per of water to keep the apricots cover.E- The 8 ed.Beat with a spoon to break up | and 4 ;

Rich and poor alike can share in the Yuletide spirit when listening to or taking part in musical festivities and the radio has done so much for the unfortunate shut-ins.Many of the world's masters composed special Christmas music such as the Cantatas of Bach (there are six) Haydn (the \u201cCreation\u201d and \u2018Seasons\u2019\u201d) Mendelssohn (\u201cElijah\u201d and \u201cSt.Paul\u201d) Liszt (\u201cSt.Elizabeth\u201d) Gounod, Dubois and Handel, who wrote the most celebrated Christmas Ora- | 9e torio of all time, the \u201cMessiah\u201d.Everybody knows and loves the great \u201cHallelujah\u201d chorus.Perhaps it is not generally known that Handel turned to oratorio because opera was dwindling in popularity and therefore no longer profitable.It is fortunate for the world since the \u201cMessiah\u201d might not have been composed otherwise.Just as the \u201cMessiah\u201d has remained a favourite through the years there are certain Christmas Carols that are equally loved.Among these are, \u201cSilent Night\u201d by Franz Gruber, \u201cO Christmas Tree\u201d traditional, \u201cO Come All Ye Faithful\u201d, John Reading; \u201cHark The Herald Angels Sing\u201d, Mendelssohn; \u201cWe Three Kings Of Orient Are\u201d, J.H.Hopkins; \u201cO Little Town Of Bethlehem\u201d, L.H.* * Steinberg\u2019s Hold Gigantic Party Revelry permeated the ball room, : and the Normandie Roof of the Mount Royal Hotel on Sunday evening as over 1300 persons attend the third annual employes\u2019 dinner - dance of Steinberg's Whilerale Groceterias.During the evening a floor show entertained while dancing was held to the tune of Blake Sewell\u2019s band.; Sam Steinberg, president of the Company, offered \u201cSeason\u2019s Greetings\u201d to all employees and stated that the aim of the company \u201cis to cut the cost of food to the consumer\u201d , .and the \u201cthe company would have new and larger markets in\u2019 1948.\u201d.| lis; \u201cJingle Bells\u201d J.Pierpont; \u201cCo- Redner, \u201cAway In A Manger\u201d Martin Luther; \u201cIt Came Upon The Midnight Clear\u201d, R.S.Wil- .\u201c A Merry Christmas N.D.6.CHALET 5456 SHERBROOKE W.One Block East of Girouard EL.6345 ventry Carol\u201d Old English; \u201cJoy To The World\u201d, Handel; \u2018Jolly Old Saint Nicholas\u201d, Traditional; \u201cThe First Noel\u201d, \u201cGod Rest You, Merry Gentlemen\u201d; \u201cWhile Shepherds Watch Their Flocks By Night\u201d; \u201cStar Of The East\u201d and many more.We wish all our readers a very PAGE FIFTEEN re Christmas, Our sincere gratitude at Christmas promps us to wish for you a full measure of Joy and Prosperity for the New Year.ROBERTS PROVISIONS 1259 GREENE AVENUE Fl.3900 them during 1948.We extend to you and yours every good wish for a Joyous Christmas and a very Happy WE TAKE this opportunity to thank our customers for their patronage in the past and hope that we may continue to serve New Year.P.A.SEERS REGD 4498 ST.CATHERINE ST.WEST - WE.2741-42 J.B.LATENDRESSE, Prop.MEME MEN NVENUE!

crackers were first made in Britain about 70 years ago.It was a confectioner and maker of ornaments for wedding cakes with the typical English name of Tom Smith who brought back from a holiday on the Continent.the idea which evolved into the cracker.He saw that a French confectioner made his sweetmeats more attractive by wrapping them in tissue paper.A few weeks before Christmas he set his assistants wrapping sugared almonds in this way.The cracker came a little nearer when he thought of making the package more entertaining by placing a loving message inside.SCOTT STORIES Lizabeth

Gilbert Oliver St.Matthias Church I welcome this opportunity of joining with others in a hearty and sincere wish for a very Happy Christmas to all repders of the Examiner.The birth of the Messiah was long foretold by prophets and saints of the Old Testament, but when Christ was born only a few people recognized Him as the Messiah.\u201cHe came to His own, and His own received Him not; but as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God.\u201d Amongst His many titles was one which was>of paramount \u2018importance to the age in which He was born, and in fact to this age, and to any other period in the world's history\u2014*\u201cThe Prince of Peace.\u201d He came to bring Peace to nations and to individuals, and Peace we sorely need; yet we seem to be unable to secure it.What a wonderful world this would be if we could secure Peace amongst nations, and peace in our own hegrts; but, alas! this most desirable gift appears to be most elusive.One reason is that we must not only desire Peace, but be willing to fit ourselves for it.So long as nations are self-seeking and power- drunk, there will be no peace.So long as we ourselves are selfish, proud and arrogant, there will be no peace in our hearts.So long as we persist in going our own way, and not God's way, we shall seek this boon in vain.Since the Christ-child is known as the Prince of Peace,
