The D'awsons intend to have their "little Christmas" — the one for their special intimates—on -Christmas tve. Then the small group will trim the tree, have, a gay supper and open their presents together. "The "Christmas Eve snack," as Jean calls it, will consist of Lobster Newburgh served on toasted English crumpets, accompanied by champagne and eaten by candlelight. LOBSTER NEWBURGH 2 baby lobsters 1 cube butter 2 tablespoons flour Vz pt. coffee cream (or more) 2 teaspoons paprika 1 wine glass sherry For the cream sauce, take Y* cube butter and the flour and cream and blend them well. Saute inch-size cubes of lobster, y2 cube melted butter and paprika before adding sherry and finally the cream sauce. This serves 4. Christmas Day is open house at SandsPark. All the boys and girls either Jean or Doug know who will not have a home Christmas that day are invited to come over as soon as they wake up Christmas morning. Breakfast will be a continuous performance, as guests arrive. It will be served in the English manner, with a sideboard covered with dishes to choose from, the dishes kept deliciously hot with warmers and chafing dishes, fresh toast and waffles being made as often as appetites demand. "Everyone who comes can do as he or she pleases the rest of the day," planned Jean, "and we'll have a big dinner at night. They can exercise the horses, go for hikes, play the jradio, rest or talk — whatever appeals to them. "My Christmas dinner will begin with our favorite salad, instead of soup or fruit cup or anything like that. Most people complain that they eat too much at holiday dinners and I hope my guests will feel pleased and not pained when they rise from my table. Either Doug or I mix the salad at the table. I've never tasted it anywhere else." SANDS-PARK SALAD Beforehand, a pan of bread cubes is baked in the oven. Romaine lettuce, bread cubes, a tray of condiments, lemon, oil and an egg is set before the salad maker. Yz cup olive oil Ya teaspoon salt pepper to taste sprinkle of sugar ' paprika Mix well ; pour over the lettuce, put in bread cubes and juice of y2 lemon, break egg over whole and toss with two forks. Turkey, with chestnut stuffing, and tiny sausages bordering the platter is the main dish, as it is in most American homes. At Sands-Park, they serve cranberries chopped up with oranges as a relish, and there is a choice of potatoes. Because Hollywood likes vegetables, there will be two or more besides the potatoes, the most unusual being stuffed carrots? STUFFED CARROTS 6 medium-sized carrots 2 hard-cooked eggs Yz cup chopped cooked mushrooms (Heinz) 2 tablespoons butter, melted Yt teaspoon salt Scrape carrots and cut in half lengthwise. Cook in boiling salted water until tender, but not thoroughly done. Cool and scoop out the center, leaving a boat shaped shell. Mash the carrot that was scooped out and the hard-cooked egg, add melted butter and chopped mushrooms. Mix well and fill the carrot shells with the mixture. Bake in a hot oven about 10 minutes. Jean, with her flyaway red hair, her wide green eyes, her charmingly helpless femininity, looks as if she wouldn't know a string bean from a Swiss chard. But the heroine of "No Hands on the Clock" (the latest of the several films Jean is appearing in for William Pine and William Thomas of Paramount), is actually an authority in the kitchen. It takes days to make Jean's honey fruit cakes, which she serves as dessert instead of the heavier plum pudding, and she supervises the cake-making herself, carefully weighing out quantities of this-a and that-a. HONEY FRUIT CAKE \]/2 teaspoons cinnamon 1 pound chopped figs 1 pound chopped dates 5 eggs, well beaten 1 cup brown sugar 6 cups (Swansdown) flour 1 cup chopped citron Y2 cup chopped prunes 1 cup chopped pecans 2 teaspoons cream of tartar 1 cup chopped almonds 2 cups chopped walnuts Y2 cup honeyed lemon strips Y\ cup crystallized ginger 1 cup honeyed orange strips Yi cup chopped stewed apricots Y2. cup honeyed grapefruit strips Yi teaspoon (Burnett's) allspice 1J4 teaspoons nutmeg 1 pound currants 2 cups butter 2Y2 cups hone>r Y2 teaspoon cloves 1 pound raisins y2 cup [Maxwell House) coffee 1 teaspoon soda Y\ teaspoon salt To make honeyed grapefruit, orange and lemon strips, remove peel in 4 lengthwise sections. Cover with cold water and simmer till soft. Drain and scrape out white pulp. Cut in thin strips with scissors. Cook together 2/3 cup honey, 1 cup sugar and 2/3 cup water until syrup spins. Add fruit peel and cook over low heat for 20 minutes or until most of the syrup is absorbed. Drain in a large wire strainer and roll strips in granulated sugar. Now for the cake. The fruits should be prepared a day ahead. Chop and mix raisins, currants, dates, figs, citron, ginger, prunes and apricots. Add the honeyed orange, lemon and grapefruit rinds and allow mixture to stand overnight. Next day cream butter and sugar and add eggs. Sift together 5 cups flour, salt, spices, cream of tartar and soda. Add this alternately with honey and coffee. Then combine the fruit and remaining cup of flour, and add this to the cake mixture. Last, add the chopped nuts. Put the mixture into 1 or 2 pound cans, cover with wax paper and steam for 2 hours. Then bake at 275 degrees F. for 1 hour. This recipe makes 12 pounds of fruit cake. Appropriately enough, in Jean's view, since she loves to entertain, her dining room looks like a tavern with its panelled walls, leaded windows, and hatch buffet. An impressive portrait of Doug's father hangs above the hatch. While I was there. Jean was experimenting with a table centerpiece of bright Christmas balls and single white oleanders from her garden. The oleanders are in 72 S C R EEN LAND
