GOV cred them with all kinds Of good
things. When things were all ready
Mr.. Ringold was called in and before
he could fully realize that lively sur

house, great big fur overcoat was
thrust upon him. The donors were
thanked in few words but they came

and 1t is needless to say that ample
justice was done to the good things
spread before the merry company. 1t
was indeed a happy thanksgiving, not

not quickly pass from memory.
