A year ago the women of the Ameri-
can colony in Berlin formed = La
dies Union" Its object is the social
and spiritual welfare Of the Americans
in that city. They are raising funds
to build union church, intended to
furnish a religious home for the hum
dreds OF students who annually fock
to Berlin from America.
Last year the ladies undertook to
have Thanksgiving dinner. with the
customary American dishes. Mrs. S.
s. Fessenden, in the Journal Of Edacd-
ton. gives q laughablc account Of tho
difficulties they found in the way:
..Thc kitchen stoves in Germany
are made Of porcelain. and most Of
them have only one hole for pots and
kettles. The oven could in no way
be persuaded to take in an American
turkey; . large-sized chicken feels
crampcd for room in it. A perplex.
ing question was: How shall we cook
the turkeys? Three ladies finally
volunteered to stuff and bake nino
turkeys each. Pies are an unknown
institution in Germany. In order to &C.
cure these. the tins must be made to
order. and the mince-meat prepared in
private houses or boarding houses.
The celery for the salad must be
brought from Hamburg; the cram
berries from Dresden. whittier they
we're imported from America. By
this time it became evident that tho
Thanksgiving supper was quite .
formidable undertaking. and incident
ally that German cooking differed
from American in many particulars
One rcstanrdteur. whose ard was So

one present was enthusiastic In ex-
pressions of appreciation. This en-
tertainment proved 4 strong bond.
and during the winter the Ladies'
