By NORA DRAKE
In spite of the fact that my apartment is small and that I must — all working women have to be, of course — be away from it most of the day, I still manage to entertain a good deal. I love people and there's no better way of getting together with friends than in your own home. Especially on holidays, I detest restaurant dinners which, even if they manage a home-taste don't have a home atmosphere. I'm having company for dinner on Thanksgiving, despite lack of time and of space. Here's how:

Our festive dinner may have to be cooked in a kitchenette, on a smallsized stove, but it's going to be an honest-to-goodness traditional meal, all the same. Whoever heard of Thanksgiving dinner without turkey? Here's what we're going to have, serving four: tomato juice cocktail, half roast turkey with pan gravy, bread stuffing, mashed white potatoes, green beans, celery hearts, cranberry sauce, lemon sherbet with strawberries, cookies and coffee. Sounds good, doesn't it? A great deal will be accomplished by short cuts — tomato juice and cranberry sauce, green beans, the strawberries frozen. And much can be done in advance. Wednesday evening I'll prepare the turkey — singe it, wash under cold water, remove pinfeathers, dry it, wrap in waxed paper and store in the refrigerator. Thursday morning, right after breakfast, I'll heat the oven for the turkey and then set the table. While the turkey is cooking everything else can be fixed. About forty minutes before the turkey's done I'll put the potatoes on, then do the last-minute things' at the table — pouring water, putting on the celery and so on. Meanwhile dishes can be warming, then gravy made. When we sit down to dinner I'll put the coffee on, and while the table's being cleared I'll get the dessert ready, just top the sherbet with strawberries and surround with cookies — it's really simple. Cooking half a turkey is easy, too. Salted, it goes cut side down in a rack, is roasted in a moderate oven, allowing 25 min. per pound. Dressing, mounded on well-greased brown paper, goes on the rack under the turkey when the bird is about half done. Hope you enjoy your dinner as we will!

Kitchenette meals aren't the only problem in a small apartment. But if you plan your furniture, when you start to set up housekeeping or when you replace old pieces with new, on a doubleduty scheme, you can make out very well. Of course everybody knows about sofas that make up into beds. There are loveseats, now, to serve the same purpose, and even chairs. A table isn't just a table anymore — you can get them with swivel tops for TV sets, with cabinet space for folding chairs, with outlets to plug in radios, lamps or cooking appliances. Lamp tables have folding leaves, become card tables at will. There's even a new table with storage for silver — it can be purchased complete with flatware for eight!
