WAsHINGToN, Dec. Thanks
giving passed off very quietly
here this year. The regulation
turkey as a matterof course was
the principal feature of the din
ing tables, with the delicious
fixings thatsthe inanarchs OF the
kitchen can prepare and serve
up in such toothsome style.
AT the White House the Pre-
sident and his immediate staff
devoted little attention to the
routine business of the nation.
The Thanksgiving spread was a
genuine home affair. A mon
ster turkey which tipped the
stewards scales at thirty pounds
was the piece deresisbance.
This was areceded by a goodly
arras az THE products of the
Kitchen garden, and supplement
ted by pnddings, corrections,
fruits. iflts, Ices and coffee. In
the official Portion of the White
House the clerks were busy send
ing out the Invitations for the
days reception to the Brazilian
Admiral andsuite. True to the
fashionable custom, society
dined atSsSc o'clock except in a
few instances, when dinner was
had earlier in the day. The
Cabinet officers with the excep-
ton Of Postmaster General
Wanamaker, chung to the time
honored custom and ate their
Thanksgiving meal at home.
The Justices of the Supreme
court, with the exception of
Justice Field, gave thanks
around their own fireside. The
Chief Justice received in a cor
dial way a few visitors. Justice
Lamar made a short visit to the
Chief Justice early in the day,
and then passed the remainder
of his time III the bosom of his
family Justice Bradley, Har-
Ian, and Blatchford spent the
day In the same fashion. There
was Noticeable lack Of formality
or Stiffness at all the. dinners
only the intimate friends being
In attendance OF making casual
social calls.
