There was n time when the plum
pudding which forms the piece de
resistance at the yulctide celebra-
tion in every Knglish home, no mat-
ter Itow humble, was the exclusive
culinary product anti the pride of
every housewife. Now. however,
thousands of families buy their
plum pudding ready made from one
or the other of the manufacturing
linkers, who annually sell more
than one million and a half of plum
puddings, weighing from one to
five pounds. These puddings
which are carefully prepared of
good material, clean and well pack-
ed so as to withstand atmospheric
influences and the more or less
rough usages of trunspot t ition, may

miles to cheer the heart of distant
friends or in embers of the family.
