Christmas Dishes from Other Lands.
CHRISTMAS would not be Christmas in Hungary," said my Hungarian friend, "without fruit cake."
"Tell me how it is made," said I.
The description she gave me, well, I think you will agree with me, that it fairly makes your mouth water to think of it. And no wonder, for the luscious loaf must contain citron and orange peel, walnuts and almonds, cherries, dates, spices and hazelnuts. No frosting crowns this masterpiece, as it would in our country, but even so, doesn't it make you hungry?
Gingerbread boys are always baked for the children at holiday time in Hungary. Currants make features, and buttons, but here again no frosting is used. Small sugar cakes belong to the little folks too.
Before Christmas, cakes are placed on the table, and are eaten and replaced, until after Christmas. Such generous hospitality!
One of the large cakes is the famous "Torte." It reaches twelve layers high, just think of it. The layers are very thin, though, and their filling is made of chocolate and butter. The top layer is covered with burnt sugar. Oh, yum. Walnut cake is another of these larger delicacies made in a long flat loaf. Its principle distinct ton is walnuts cooked in milk and honey.
Among the gems of the baking art that are a delight to the palate, are some of the Austrian confections.
These come in all shapes, variously decorated, sometimes with nuts, almonds and walnuts, bits of citron This is a large cake heavily frosted, and rolled over like a parkerhouse roll. It contains spices, citron, raisins and nuts.
Of course, in Germany, Christmas just must have its "Pfeffermuss," a tiny gingerbread cake coated with powdered sugar. "Matzepan" is a very rich cake. "Lebkuchen," honey cookies are natural companions to the ginger cake. Little almond cakes, cause of almond paste come in all sorts of shapes. Stars there are, carrots, balls, baskets, and many other fanciful designs.
A special meat dish for Christmas is a loaf made of pork, which is allowed to jell. It is called "Sulze" and is served cold in slices, with parsley.
In England there appears the good mince pie and its great friend, the plum pudding. In Dickens' day, alas, no longer can it be served in this style in the United States—the plum pudding arrived on the table in state, all alight with burning brandy, with a twig of holly in the midst. Young roast pig especially belongs to the holiday celebrations to commemorate the ancient boar's head of historic fame.
In France more attention is paid to New Year's Day. This is the time for the pleasant exchange of visits, calls and happy greetings. "Open House" one finds everywhere, with the serving of tea.
Delicious little cakes, "Gateaux" accompany the tea. Tarts are among those present, with all sorts of fillings such as almond paste, and fruit—raspberries, strawberries, and cherries. "Brioch" is another one of

RAINBOW HASNO CORNER ON COLORS
NEW YORK, Dec. 20.—"Scherazade" is not confined to the opera from the standpoint of color. A visit to the Silician market here in Gotham is an equivalent in color. When intent upon purchasing your shrimps and lamb chops, artichokes and other delicacies, you can't fail to notice the continuous trail of wonderful colors as the grape fruit blends with the chrysanthemums and the red cabbage with the dainty lettuce leaf. Yellow abound in big rutabagas and mealy sweet potatoes, brightened by an occasional purple egg plant. The sombre mushroom and drab artichoke are contrasted with cranberries, a red which the Russian Ballat has never achieved.
TOY PISTOL HOLDUP MAN IS ARRESTED
KANSAS CITY, Dec. 29. — A weary, hungry, cold and desperate man walked into a novelty shop and with his last dime purchased a toy pistol. Frank McGinnis, 31, had reached the end of his rope. He had tramped the hard brick pavements of the city searching for work, but his efforts had been unavailing. He decided to become a "stick-up" artist. But the toy pistol proved too much of a phoney to put over a holdup, and McGinnis was arrested. Everybody in the courtroom except McGinnies laughed when a stable produced the 10-cent "gat."
