Well, Christmas is still a few days away, but I imagine in most of your homes, the festivities have already started for the youngsters. Yes, with the kids on vacation there are probably plenty of parties and occasions when friends drop in.

And that calls for a well-filled cookie jar. Yes, and a big bowl of popcorn now and then. So here's a tip. For cookies that fairly melt in your mouth, try making them with parquet margarine for the shortening.

You see, besides being grand for table use as a spread for bread and seasoning for hot vegetables, parquet, when used as a shortening, adds delicate extra flavor to all baked foods. Try parquet melted over popcorn too, and just watch the youngsters go for it.

Best of all, these Christmas treats aren't expensive when you use economical parquet. So, get your holiday supply of parquet margarine tomorrow and surprise the youngsters with the best holiday cookies and popcorn they ever tasted.

Just ask your dealer for parquet. P-A-R-K-A-Y. Parquet margarine made by Kraft. Your friend, the great gilder Slee, with December almost gone, he's been working like a beaver the past few days trying to get out the annual report of the water department.

That's why we find him now, in his office asleep at nine o'clock in the morning, with his head buried in the annual report and his arm sprawled across the bladder, while through his troubled dreams run thoughts of this happy holiday season.
