Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving.
1t has come and gone, and in going
has marked the exodus from existence
OF turkeys innumerable. 1t was some-
what different from the THANKSGIVING
days which are 80 glowingly described
ny the authors of so much pleasing ic-
ton. The customary sparkling and
gllstening snow which covers the ground
with a beautiful white, was mysteriously
absent. Nor were there heard any ing
ling sleigh bells, for the lack of snow
prevented any sleighing. 1t was cold
and raw and chilly with a dreary sort of
wind, and a cloudy sky to add to the
general gloomy appearance of things.
Nor was the day marked by any unusual
event. In the morning services were
held at the several churches, and num-
bers attended to render thanks for mani
fold blessings. Appropriate sermons
were delivered, and hymns of praise
were sung, and then, of course, the
Thanksgiving dinner. The several hotels
had prepared elaborate spreads. Num-
bers dined in the spacious dining.roo
at the Sheridan, and did full Justice to
the dellciously tempting viands. Bus1-
ness of all kinds was suspended during
the afternoon, and almost every one
took advantage of the holiday set
aside for rest, feasting and rejoicing.
loo dlsagreeable was the day for any
kind OF outdoor enjoyment, and the
streets were forsaken for more COM
Portable resting places indoors.
IN H EVENING
The rather quiet condition of things
underwent a swift and startling change,
The devotees of Terpsichore congregated
at the Atheneum, to enjoy the dance
given under the auspices of the Pioneer
Hose company, and for many hours the
lamps shone DER fair women and brave
men. 1t was a thoroughly pleasant
affair as such dances usually are. The
attendance was good, the music of an
inspiring order, and everything con-
splred to an evening of pleasure and en-
loyment. After several hours of dane
ing the dancers repaired to the restaur-
ants, where elegant suppers were served,
and the dance was renewed with an
added interest.
1t ended, finally, as all enjoyments
must end, and the crowd dispersed, each
to his home, after as pleasant an ending
to Thanksgiving day as could be wished.
A Pleasant Party at Steele.
The commodious residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. g. Clark, at Steele, presented on
Wednesday evening a particularly at
tractive appearance. In honor of Miss
Sadie Clark, a most charming young
lady OF Ironton, Ohio, about forty guests
had been invited to engage in the game
OF progressive euchre. Each gentleman
present was designated by card by the
name of a state; his partner a states
capital. Many tables were used in euchre
and each one, attractive in it's decora-
ton, was the scene of honest rivalry
from start to finish. Pendant from the
chandelier above each table, swinging
in graceful folds, and attached to the
table below were streamers of
Chinese silk in gay and delicate tints
blending harmonlously with the colors
OF the fancy shades. Nor were the tables
alone attractive. Every lamp was lastly
arranged in delicate drapery. Every
shelf and bracket was made attractive
with costly bric-a-brac, a triumph in
taxidermist's skill or rare and beautiful
china. Every nook and corner gave
evidence of Mrs. Clark's artistic taste
and skill with brush or needle. Alto
Rether the house was perfect as a poem,
charming with it's mellow light and
shadow and delighting with it's warmth
and cozyness-its every guest. In every
room, on every floor, on wall and ceiling
were evidences of thrift and culture.
For over two hours the interest in the
cards was intense, and when through
Mrs. J. w. Carroll and DR.. Harcourt
had won the first prizes, Mr.. Harry
Simpson and T. w. Allshouse the BOBBY
prizes. After the cards q substantial
and delicious lunch was served; an
hours chat followed, and then after each
one had expressed delight at the enter.
